Outgoing Valencian President Mazón Swaps Rosalía Track in Farewell Instagram After Criticism

Rivals amplified screenshots of his initial post using 'La Perla' and mocked the lyrics as a pointed self-own.

Overview

  • Carlos Mazón posted an Instagram story recapping arrivals to what outlets described as his last Consell plenary with Rosalía’s 'La Perla' as the soundtrack.
  • Minutes later the music on the same images was replaced with another Rosalía song, 'Divinice', after the first choice drew online ridicule.
  • PSPV spokesperson José Muñoz shared a screenshot on X, stressed the clip was not AI, and labeled it a 'monument to dishonesty.'
  • The episode unfolded on the eve of Juanfran Pérez Llorca’s investiture, which would mark the handover of the regional government.
  • Coverage reports no consequences beyond political mockery, underscoring how a brief social-media edit became partisan fodder.
