Valencian PP Lines Up Mompó as Feijóo Weighs Snap Election Over Mazón’s Future

Party leaders expect an imminent step-down that will force a choice on elections versus succession.

Overview

  • Carlos Mazón’s resignation is considered likely within hours, with PP sources telling ABC the party is preparing for immediate decisions affecting the Generalitat and the organization.
  • The three provincial PP presidents and the regional secretary-general agreed to back Vicent Mompó as consensus successor, sidelining Madrid’s preferred option, Valencia mayor María José Catalá.
  • Génova is split between calling a swift regional vote or installing an interim leader, with concerns about losing the Generalitat and the complexity of securing a fresh investiture with Vox.
  • Feijóo has convened the party’s executive on Monday as national leaders assess scenarios, following a week of internal convulsion after the Dana anniversary ceremony.
  • Public pressure intensified after the state funeral where Mazón was booed, and a court appearance by journalist Maribel Vilaplana is scheduled for Monday in the investigation into the 29 October timeline.
