Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
On Monday, El Mundo published the money that the courts spend to pay the pensions of 114 former members of Congress and the Senate: It is EUR 6 million, with the objective of some pensioners who were political representatives each year earning the highest pension.
In the case of the Basques, the main beneficiary of this luxury pension is the former member of pp and UPN Jaime Ignacio del Burg, who has been one of the party’s main leaders. From Burg it receives EUR 3,102.65 per month, although it has never paid social security contributions.
The one who for years was on the front line of the Navarre right recently reappeared in the self-government report of the Basque Country as an “expert” designated by the PP. The previous tour is known: Son of Carlist historian and politician Jaime del Burgo Torres, began his political career at the UCD and was president of the Diputación General of Navarra between 1979-1980. Militant of pp since 1989, he also had the UPN card, while the two right-wing parties joined in Navarra.
For 27 years he was a representative of the Navarre right in the Congress and Senate of Spain. This long parliamentary career has led him to be one of the representatives with the highest privileges among those in retirement.
