Overview

  • The CEV formally launched its election process after Salvador Navarro advanced the vote from January to November and confirmed he will run again.
  • At a board meeting in Castellón, Vicente Lafuente attended but did not speak, despite expectations that he might announce a bid.
  • The ballot will be decided by 515 voting members, and any challenger must first secure endorsements from 20% of the assembly, roughly 100 signatures.
  • Some CEV sources say critical factions signaled support for Navarro following the meeting, while Lafuente’s potential candidacy remains unannounced.
  • Tensions with the regional government sharpened this week after President Carlos Mazón publicly reproached Navarro at a business gala, and on Friday Navarro missed a social dialogue meeting that he was said to skip due to illness; Eva Blasco filled in, confirmed she will seek reelection on Navarro’s list, and the tile industry group Ascer declared neutrality.
