Overview

  • The emergency level in the Valencian Community has been reduced to level 1 following Monday's unprecedented mass electrical blackout, with no relapses reported and ongoing health monitoring.
  • Carlos Mazón, Valencian president and regional PP leader, attended the second day of the EPP congress in Valencia, where he was greeted by national PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
  • European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen commended the calm and collective responsibility of Valencian citizens during the blackout, calling the incident unprecedented.
  • Feijóo noted that EPP colleagues inquired about the blackout but stated that limited official information prevented him from providing clear answers.
  • Mazón is set to travel to the United States later this week to assess the potential impact of proposed US tariffs on key Valencian sectors, marking a shift from crisis management to economic diplomacy.
