Overview

  • In the June 14 investiture vote, Juan Zamorano of Veïns per Massamagrell received eight votes—one short of the nine required—after José Manuel Palanca of Vox withheld his support.
  • Vox’s decision followed Zamorano’s refusal to sign a proposed annex demanding tax cuts, farmers’ protections, enhanced security and the depoliticization of public spaces.
  • By virtue of heading the most-voted list with six councillors, PSPV’s Francisco Gómez automatically assumed the mayoralty and now leads a minority government.
  • The PP honored the 2023 rotation agreement by backing Zamorano’s bid for mayor despite Vox’s withdrawal of support.
  • Natàlia Enguix of the diputación has demanded explanations from Vox’s regional leadership, highlighting the volatility of local coalition politics.
