Mazón Faces Tough Congress Grilling as PP, Vox Close In on Pérez Llorca Deal

The hearing sharpens scrutiny of unanswered gaps from October 29, including the timing of the ES-Alert.

Overview

  • Carlos Mazón is due at the Congress dana commission this morning for face-to-face, 20‑minute interrogations by each group in the only forum not controlled by PP and Vox.
  • He arrives after avoiding detailed answers in Les Corts about his timeline on October 29, and he remains a deputy with aforamiento as a potential request to impute him could be elevated to the Valencian High Court.
  • PP and Vox say talks to invest Juanfran Pérez Llorca are well advanced, with a formal candidacy required by Wednesday and a vote possible in the last week of November if procedures run smoothly.
  • Génova presents Pérez Llorca as a stopgap for the roughly 18 months left in the term, reserving the next electoral-cycle nomination for Feijóo and underscoring lingering tensions with the Valencian leadership.
  • Pérez Llorca is Mazón’s close ally and seen as a continuity pick, a perception Vox shares as it seeks to formalize conditions in a new pact.
