Overview
- PP sources say Alberto Núñez Feijóo informed Juanfran Pérez Llorca of his designation in a call this morning and framed the move as a step to quickly ensure stability in the region.
- Miguel Tellado notified the provincial party chiefs of the decision, which the PP says received unanimous backing across the three provinces.
- Vox had insisted on a formal PP nominee before starting investiture negotiations and has signaled comfort with a Mazón-aligned figure, with its Valencian spokesman recently praising Pérez Llorca.
- The PP still faces a November 19 deadline to register a candidate in Les Corts, and the Valencian PP plans to formally communicate the decision to Vox and the other parliamentary groups.
- Pérez Llorca, 49, is mayor of Finestrat, secretary general of the Valencian PP, Mazón’s longtime lieutenant, and the architect of the 2023 agreement with Vox.
