The plenary session of the Marbella City Council, with an absolute majority of the PP, has approved this Tuesday the salary of its councilor, Ángeles Muñoz, which will amount to 92,928.03 euros, exactly the maximum that a councilor of a city the size of his can earn . With this new source of income, Muñoz compensates for the loss of the senator’s salary, by being left out of the lists of the PP to the Upper House for the elections on July 23.

Until now, Muñoz received a little more than 15,000 euros in allowances from the Marbella City Council, without a fixed allowance, but from now on the City Council has approved that he have “exclusive dedication” to the city of Malaga. Ángeles Muñoz could still be appointed senator by regional designation, but the fact that the approved text speaks of this “exclusive dedication” as of July 24 suggests that the mayoress has ruled out that her party has her for the national Parliament after the scandals related to her high net worth -including the percentage she hid from the Senate- and the prosecution of her husband, now deceased, and her stepson for drug trafficking.
With her salary of 92,928.03 euros, Ángeles Muñoz will become the highest paid mayor of Andalusia, if no other mayor raises his salary extraordinarily compared to the last legislature. The socialist Antonio Muñoz Martínez received 88,673.68 euros during his time as mayor of Seville, the Andalusian capital. Marbella is the seventh largest city in the autonomous community.
The last salary that Muñoz received as mayoress of Marbella, in 2015, amounted to 54,948.03 euros in 2015. Later, she received an assignment from the Senate for not having that “exclusive dedication”. That means that Muñoz has raised the allowance, at once, by more than 40%. Ángeles Muñoz received allowances from the Marbella City Council, the year that more than 19,600 euros in 2021. Muñoz’s deputy mayors are nine and seven from they have also experienced a 30% increase while the rest of the councilors will charge 15% more.
Muñoz revalidated the absolute majority on May 28 despite the scandals arising from an investigation by the National Court against her husband and stepson, both prosecuted for criminal organization and money laundering. Her stepson, Joakim Broberg, adds to these accusations that of drug trafficking and is pending the opening of an oral trial. elDiario.es revealed that Muñoz accumulated more than 12 million euros in assets after three decades in politicsaccording to a conservative calculation made by real estate experts.
