Ibiza is at the top of the regional ranking of political remuneration, according to data from the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function published through the ISPA platform.
Only the president of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens, exceeds in salary the president of the Consell de Ibiza, Vicent Marí .
At the municipal level, the mayor of Ibiza, Rafael Triguero, heads the list of the 67 mayors of the Balearic Islands with 68,293 euros per year, ahead of the mayor of Palma and the mayor of Calvià.
The list, which reflects the remuneration of elected officials and public employees of autonomous communities and local entities in 2024, also reveals that Marcos Serra, mayor of Sant Antoni, ranks fourth, with 60,180 euros, and Vicent Roig, mayor of Sant Josep, fifth, with 59,000 euros.
Differences between municipalities
The remuneration of the mayors of Ibiza varies significantly between municipalities. The mayor of Sant Joan, Tania Marí, receives 52,272 euros, while the mayor of Santa Eulària, Carmen Ferrer, is listed with an official salary of 38,296 euros. However, in a public document of the City Council it is stated that in 2023 her salary was 63,888 euros, which points to a possible discrepancy in the official data.
Compared to 2020, most salaries have increased. Triguero has gone from 59,540 to 68,293 euros; Roig, from 54,000 to 59,000, and Serra maintains practically the same figure. The case of Ferrer is the only one that, in theory, shows a decrease.
The presidents of the island councils
At the island level, Vicent Marí, president of the Consell de Ibiza, has the highest salary in the Balearic Islands, with 76,579 euros.
He is followed by Llorenç Galmés, president of the Consell de Mallorca (75,703 euros), and Adolfo Vilafranca, president of Menorca(63,278 euros).
Óscar Portas, president of the Consell de Formentera, does not appear in the ministerial report but does appear on the institutional website, with a salary of 55,349 euros.
The report does not include data from Formentera due to lack of official submission to the Ministry, although part of the information is public on the website of the Consell de Formentera.
Marga Prohens, in the lead
At the regional level, the president of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens, earns 78,803 euros a year, above the island presidents, but still far behind the highest paid regional leaders such as Salvador Illa (Catalonia, 140,257 euros) and Isabel Díaz Ayuso (Madrid, 103,090 euros).
