The son of the ‘ethical councilor‘ of Gent per Formentera, José Marí Mayans, has gotten a real bargain thanks to the favor of colleagues of his father’s political group who led the Consell Insular de Formentera between 2011 and 2012, who are now accused by the rigging in the appointment of firefighters collaboratorsThey deliberately failed to comply with the requirements to fill five positions in the Fire and Rescue Service and paralyzing the file for a year.
For this situation -as La Voz de Ibiza advanced- the former insular president Jaume Ferrer Ribas; the current secretary general of GxF, Sonia Cardona Ferrer; the former deputy Silvia Margarita Tur Ribas; and the former manager of the Consell, Isidor Torres Mayans, will face an oral trial in April next year after the investigation of the investigating judge, Carmen Martín Romero. As background, the Contentious Administrative Court, on March 20, 2017, endorsed the claim of the whistleblower firefighter Rubén Castellar Lozalo -perjudicated by this rigging-, granted him the appointment and compensated him with 80,199 euros. This derived in a criminal investigation for the way of proceeding of GxF politicians.
All known
In 2012, when the irregular appointment of his son took place, José Marí Mayans was director of the branch of La Caixa in Sant Francesc Xavier.
In this banking entity he was for 35 years, first as an administrative assistant and then as director in the three offices of the island for 15 years. In 2016, the Consell reported that President Jaume Ferrer had signed a collaboration agreement with Marí, director of CaixaBank branch 00187 in Sant Francesc Xavier, “to develop the Gent Gran program in 2 senior centers on the island.” Born in 1964 in Palma de Mallorca, he completed his primary education in Sant Francesc, where he continues to live today. He completed his secondary education in Ibiza and later trained in accounting and capital management in Barcelona. He held the position of conseller of Infrastructures, Primary Sector and Interior in the Consell Insular de Formentera since 2019, after the municipal and autonomic elections held that year. He was part of the government team formed after the agreements reached in June 2019.
In those elections he was in fourth place on the list headed by Alejandra Ferrer, who replaced Jaume Ferrer. During the presentation of the GxF list he was defined as “a person well known for his commitment and social involvement in various entities of the island”. In an interview with Formentera Avuias soon as he took over as councilor he said that “I was advised never to get involved (in politics) but having been close to the world of associations and social movements I considered that I had to take the step to contribute to improve projects and initiatives in which I have collaborated”.
Son under his command
As Interior Minister, he has four sections within his portfolio: the first aid corps, firefighters, local police and Civil Protection.
“Our goal is to definitively professionalize the fire department”, he said in that interview. Precisely, under his orbit he has his own son, whose appointment is tainted by the plot investigated by the criminal justice. All despite the fact that the Contentious Administrative Court ruled to annul his appointment in the judgment of March 20, 2017, which was never executed: Carlos Marí Mayans not only continues to occupy his position as firefighter but also has formalized his position, in addition to having held the position of Park Chief.
Your role in the Code of Ethics Committee
Since this year, Marí Mayans has also been a member of the Code of Ethics and Good Governance Commission, replacing José María Alcaraz.
