PP Alliances Tighten Grip in Spain’s Regions as Votes Shield Mazón and Recast Local Power

Procedural control is shaping scrutiny and spending across several Spanish institutions.

Overview

  • In the Valencian Corts, PP and Vox voted down motions that sought to compel President Carlos Mazón to testify about the 29 October flood response, and the Mesa rejected two PSOE proposals as not “política general.”
  • Aragonese president Jorge Azcón accused the PSOE of operating under a “ley del terror” after socialist deputies withheld applause for a posthumous prize to Javier Lambán, a stance the PSOE defended as rejection of Azcón’s speech.
  • Moncada’s mayor Amparo Orts used her casting vote to block the reproval, removal, and a fact-finding commission on a councillor under Guardia Civil investigation for a festival brawl.
  • Miengo approved a rule that withholds attendance allowances from councillors who owe municipal debts, automatically offsetting unpaid per-diems against those obligations until settled.
  • Ourense’s provincial plenary backed suspending fiscal rules to unlock surpluses for wildfire recovery and passed, with changes, a motion to tighten monitoring of contamination in the As Conchas reservoir.
