Mazón Testifies in Valencia Flood Probe as PP Taps Pérez Llorca to Succeed Him

National officials refuse the regional summons citing Council of State doctrine.

Overview

  • Carlos Mazón made his first public appearance since resigning, testifying voluntarily before the Les Corts commission under a tightly timed format approved by PP and Vox.
  • Hundreds of victims and relatives protested outside, said they were kept out of the hearing room, called the session a sham, and urged Mazón to appear before the judge in Catarroja.
  • The Partido Popular confirmed Juanfran Pérez Llorca as its candidate for the investiture debate to lead the Generalitat after talks with Vox.
  • Pérez Llorca has been summoned to testify as a witness on 21 November at the Catarroja court in the judicial investigation into the DANA response.
  • Les Corts set the succession timetable with candidate proposals due by 19 November, an investiture plenary slated between 24 and 28 November, and a two‑month window afterward to secure confidence.
