Garamendi Backs New CEV Leader, Plans to Elevate Lafuente to CEOE Vice Presidency

His message emphasized political unity over partisan involvement.

Overview

  • The CEOE president met in València with Vicente Lafuente and the CEV board to publicly endorse the new regional business leadership after Salvador Navarro’s exit.
  • He said he will propose Lafuente as a CEOE vice-president at Wednesday’s board meeting and confirmed Navarro will remain on the commission for relations with the Cortes.
  • Asked about the political climate as the PP prepares to file Juanfran Pérez Llorca’s investiture candidacy on Wednesday, he reiterated that employers will not enter politics.
  • He urged work to “fix Valencia,” citing unresolved elevator repairs and a broader push to restore social normalcy and wellbeing.
  • He reaffirmed support for the Mediterranean Corridor, noted he cannot attend Thursday’s #QuieroCorredor event at the Roig Arena due to scheduling, and lauded Juan Roig’s leadership in the initiative.
