The inclusion of a lawyer in the mayor of Valencia's candidacy for the City Council was initially seen as a distinguished and solvent addition, expected to bring solidity and experience to complex municipal management issues. He was tasked with resolving several significant municipal conflicts, earning him the nickname 'Mr. Wolf' in some media circles for his ability to untangle difficult situations.

However, the situation has evolved, and after many of his initial tasks were resolved or put on track, the councilor himself has become a problem for the administration. The Contracting Board, which he has led since April 2025, has come under scrutiny.

Compromís made public the definitive report from the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF). This document details the councilor's participation, as head of the Contracting area, in six awarded tenders totaling 255 million euros. In these tenders, the councilor should have recused himself due to conflicts of interest, as companies for which he works or has worked were involved, without him having disclosed their identities.

The City Council's governing team defended on Wednesday that the Anti-Fraud resolution exempts the council from responsibility in the councilor's abstentions and that his role did not alter the outcome of the agreements. Furthermore, they emphasize that the agency does not request an official review of the contracts and provides a series of improvement recommendations that municipal technicians will study.

Nevertheless, the report also highlights the 'lack of veracity' in the Declarations of Absence of Conflict of Interest (DACI) by the councilor and urges the City Council to assess potential legal responsibilities. The councilor's persistent refusal to provide information about the companies he works for, in the context of multi-million euro contracts, creates an opacity that is beginning to cause discomfort for the mayor of Valencia.
