Overview
- Carlos Mazón signed his resignation at 14:51 and it was registered in Les Corts at 15:24 on Monday, formally activating the succession process.
- Mazón remains president in a caretaker capacity and keeps his deputy seat, which preserves his parliamentary privilege noted as relevant to proceedings before a Catarroja examining judge.
- Parliamentary groups have 12 working days from registration to nominate candidates, placing the initial deadline around November 19.
- After nominations close, the board must set the investiture session 3 to 7 days later, with an absolute majority required in the first vote and a simple majority in a second vote held 48 hours after.
- The PP must secure support from Vox’s 13 deputies to invest a successor, and failure to achieve a deal after the first investiture vote would start a two‑month period that could end in dissolution and elections roughly 54 to 60 days later.
