Overview

  • The caretaker regional leader said he assumed political responsibility by resigning but held no operational command on 29 October 2024 and denied giving orders that day.
  • Victims’ associations rallied outside Les Corts after not entering the hearing room, condemned the session as a pantomime, and urged Mazón to testify before the judge in Catarroja.
  • Government officials in Madrid, including the prime minister and several ministers, declined to attend the regional inquiry, citing Council of State doctrine on attendance limits.
  • PP confirmed Juanfran Pérez Llorca as its investiture candidate to replace Mazón, with a candidacy deadline of 19 November and an investiture window set for 24–28 November that will require Vox support.
  • PSPV said it will review Mazón’s remarks for possible falsehoods as unresolved issues persisted, including a 37‑minute gap in calls during the crisis and the absence of phone records.
