MADRID – The place is full of
exes. On the website Consejo Consultivo
de la Comunidad de Madrid (Madrid Consultation Council), the newest name is
that of former Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz Gallardón, who resigned his
Ministry when his boss, Mariano Rajoy, decided to give up on a controversial
law on abortion that he had been trying to put through, and is also a former President
of the country’s capital region, called Comunidad de Madrid. From last Thursday the ex-Minister is a member
of the Council earning €5,500 net per month, for life and for which he must
attend every one of the Council’s meetings – about 67 a year or approximately
one a week and usually on Wednesdays. The law that allows this was passed in
December 2007 and set the salary as the same as that of active regional
Councillors (Consejeros). The organisation
costs the public purse some €4.3mm per year. I wonder what the millions of
unemployed think of that – not to mention heads of families who have to live on
salaries of well under €1,000 a month.
