Overview
- PP and Vox confirmed a first phone contact to address the post-Mazón transition, describing the tone as cordial and saying no names were discussed.
- Vox conveyed conditions to maintain the March budget pact, oppose EU Green Deal measures within regional powers, and reject taking in redistributed migrant minors.
- The PP cannot secure an investiture alone and needs Vox’s votes in the Valencian parliament to form a stable government.
- Within the PP, Juanfran Pérez Llorca is viewed by the Valencian leadership as a leading option, María José Catalá publicly ruled herself out, and Vicente Mompó lacks a regional seat.
- Key deadlines apply: the PP has until November 19 to propose a candidate with a vote by November 27, a failure that would trigger a 60‑day window toward a possible April election, which Vox says it is prepared to face.
