Vox Tells PP to Name Its Candidate as Talks Open on Replacing Mazón in Valencia

Vox's national leadership is directing confidential negotiations under a Nov. 19 cutoff that would trigger regional elections.

Overview

  • PP and Vox held a first, secretive contact on Friday to start the succession process, according to party sources.
  • Vox conditioned further talks on PP formally designating its nominee for president of the Generalitat.
  • Local reporting points to Juanfran Pérez Llorca as the likely PP pick, though no official decision has been announced.
  • Vox signaled tougher conditions, citing opposition to the EU Green Deal and “mass immigration,” and said it does not fear a new vote.
  • Vox Valencia chief Vicente Barrera said he was not informed and is not offended, as Ignacio Garriga leads talks, while PP faces a Nov. 19 deadline or an automatic election with Mazón still acting president.
