Overview
- Juanfran Pérez Llorca formally registered his candidacy to replace Carlos Mazón, confirming he has not signed a governing agreement with Vox.
- Vox’s José María Llanos said negotiations continue and indicated the party wants a pact closed before next week’s investiture vote.
- Les Corts is expected to schedule the investiture for next week after the PP filed the bid on the deadline day, with 40 PP seats needing Vox’s 13 for a majority of 50.
- PP sources and national leadership signal Pérez Llorca is likely to serve as interim regional party leader after the investiture, as he named Fernando Pastor the new parliamentary spokesperson and received María José Catalá’s formal backing.
- In Torrent, PSPV’s Vicent Mascarell publicly ruled out sponsoring or supporting a no-confidence motion with the ex‑Vox councillor whose vote is decisive, even as recent talks with PSPV and Compromís were reported and Mayor Amparo Folgado warned a change could disrupt post‑dana projects.
