Protests in Valencia Demand Mazón Face Trial After Resignation

Victims' groups with broad civic backing press for accountability with a social reconstruction program.

Overview

  • Carlos Mazón has announced his resignation as acting president and remains in Alicante handling routine matters as he prepares to testify before Les Corts on 11 November and in Congress on 17 November.
  • Hundreds gathered outside Les Corts on Sunday under the banner “Mazón a prisión,” calling for his prosecution, the resignation of the entire Consell, and chanting for elections.
  • Victims’ associations urged Mazón to surrender his deputy seat to remove parliamentary immunity so judicial proceedings can move forward.
  • Acord Social Valencià and allied entities plan further actions, including concentrations on 11 and 17 November and a larger demonstration in Valencia on 29 November focused on justice and reconstruction.
  • PP and Vox are in talks to choose Mazón’s successor, with party sources saying Alberto Núñez Feijóo will oversee the outcome and migration policy for unaccompanied minors remains a sticking point.
