Francisco Camps Launches Bid to Lead Valencian PP With Alicante Rally Demanding Congress

The move challenges Carlos Mazón's leadership, pressuring Génova to decide on a delayed regional congress.

Overview

  • Camps kicked off a formal campaign in Alicante, asking the national leadership to convene the PPCV congress this year or early next.
  • He told Alberto Núñez Feijóo he could help secure an absolute majority, claiming he would deliver 15–20 deputies from the Comunitat Valenciana.
  • He urged a shift to a 'one member, one vote' system and said he is the only PPCV militant openly declaring his intention to preside the party.
  • The dinner event, organized by former Alicante mayor Sonia Castedo, drew roughly 400 attendees, mostly former PP office-holders from across the region.
  • The public challenge intensifies pressure on regional chief Carlos Mazón as recently tightened party statutes give the apparatus more control over insurgent bids.
