Overview

  • Instruction Court No. 3 in Catarroja scheduled the El Ventorro owner to testify at 9:30 and Juanfran Pérez Llorca at 11:30 on November 21, both as witnesses.
  • Judge Ruiz Tobarra is examining phone traffic involving ex-councillor Salomé Pradas and senior Presidency contacts, and deems Pérez Llorca’s calls relevant to clarifying Cecopi deliberations.
  • The inquiry includes events at the El Ventorro restaurant on October 29, 2024, after journalist Maribel Vilaplana said the owner brought urgent documents to then-president Carlos Mazón.
  • Pérez Llorca is the Partido Popular’s leading candidate to succeed the resigned Carlos Mazón and currently serves as PP spokesperson in the Valencian parliament and PPCV secretary general.
  • Parliamentary rules set a November 19 deadline to register candidates and a 3–7 day window for the investiture session, so the November 21 testimony could coincide with his investiture timetable.
