The Valencian Government has officially appointed a driver for the office of ex-president Carlos Mazón, as mandated by law. This appointment follows the recent hiring of his former chief of staff from the Consell, indicating Mazón's strategic moves to staff his post-election office with familiar aides. The Diario Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana outlined that the driver, classified as temporary personnel, will receive an annual salary that may reach around 40,000 euros.

This formation of his office adheres to the Law 6/2002, which governs the statutes regarding ex-presidents in Spain, ensuring that Mazón fulfills the legal requirements for operational support post-tenure. The announced direct financial assistance, amounting to 80,000 euros for the families of the victims of a natural disaster known as 'dana,' underscores the broader context of Mazón's leadership and his transitional responsibilities.

Mazón's recent appointments appear to consolidate his influence and establish continuity in governance roles while also responding to pressing state issues like disaster relief. The move reflects both personal and political strategies, showcasing how ex-presidents in Spain maintain operational frameworks that bolster their public roles, especially in a politically dynamic environment like Valencia.
