Vox Reimburses €7,600 to Catalan Parliament After Audit Flags Two Meal Invoices

The move follows an audit that also raises documentation and proportionality concerns across several groups.

Overview

  • Vox returned €7,600 to the Parliament of Catalonia on February 18, according to the party, after the chamber’s audit deemed two 2024 expenses non‑subsidizable.
  • The invoices of €2,605 and €5,007 were tied to group meals, including one linked to a work day in Lleida, and lacked required details on attendees and services.
  • One bill included €184.25 for high‑alcohol beverages, a line item the audit highlighted in questioning the charges’ eligibility.
  • Vox says it acted voluntarily after auditors suggested the costs could exceed permitted group activities, and it warned it may take legal action if it considers accusations false.
  • The audit also scrutinizes other parties, citing the proportionality of a €47,491 Junts trip to Waterloo and noting limited documentation and heavy subsidy transfers, including up to 99% by PSC and ERC, plus a PP Christmas‑gift invoice.
