Overview

• On June 22, the PSPV-PSOE filed a recurso de amparo with the Tribunal Constitucional, citing violation of fundamental rights after being excluded from the Mesa de Les Corts Valencianes.
• PP and Vox used their majority to appoint María Magdalena González as vice president, leaving the main opposition without any representation on the parliamentary board for the first time.
• PSPV-PSOE contends the move violated a 14-precedent norm of filling vacancies with members of the same party and represents an unprecedented break in Valencian parliamentary practice.
• Jose Muñoz described the exclusion as an authoritarian tactic by President Carlos Mazón intended to punish the opposition.
• The socialists have demanded that Mazón end his antidemocratic practices and resign to restore the opposition’s rights in the regional parliament.
