Les Corts Covers Compromís Office Windows to Hide 'Mazón Dimisión' Posters

Compromís plans to lodge a formal grievance accusing the PP-Vox majority of using parliamentary rules to suppress its speech

Overview

  • Parliamentary staff installed red vinyl on Compromís office windows early on June 20 to conceal interior posters calling for President Carlos Mazón’s resignation.
  • Les Corts officials defended the move by citing alleged violations of the Reglamento de Les Corts after verbal requests to remove the posters went unheeded.
  • Compromís says the vinyl blocks natural light and labels the action a clear act of censorship orchestrated by the PP-Vox-controlled Mesa de las Corts.
  • The hidden posters, displayed for months, read “Mazón Dimisión,” “PP responsable,” and “Vox cómplice” in protest of Mazón’s handling of a deadly flood event.
  • The dispute has intensified existing tensions in Valencia’s coalition politics as Compromís prepares a written complaint to identify those responsible and defend its freedom of expression.
