Overview

• Navarro announced he will not seek another term and said he will work toward a single candidacy to avoid risking the organisation.
• Elections to lead the CEV are set for 6 November, with candidacies open until 22 October, and Navarro will remain in office until a successor is chosen.
• Vicente Lafuente of Femeval is widely reported to be preparing a run after meeting Navarro on Monday, though no candidacy has been officially registered yet.
• The contest follows months of internal mobilisation across Alicante, Castellón and Valencia, alongside well‑documented frictions between Navarro and regional president Carlos Mazón.
• Context includes a 2024 change that removed CEV term limits and a recent decision to bring the vote forward, while unions urge the next leader to maintain social dialogue.
