The PP will entrust Vox with the future of the Valencian Government following the resignation of Mazón
The president has resigned on the grounds of lack of strength, but he will remain a deputy to maintain his appetite. No election call is on the table, but the PP needs Vox's support to appoint the new head of the Consell before the end of the month.
A year after the summit that left 229 dead in the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón has resigned as president of the Generalitat. "I can no longerdo so, "the PP leader has acknowledged, appealing to the" responsibility "of the majority in Parliament to elect his replacement.
Following the resignation, a dubious scenario has opened up: the people depend on Vox to retain power. With 40 MPs, the PP does not have the majority needed to appoint a new president without the support of 13 MPs from the far-right party.
Vox has the key.
The person proposed by the PP will have to be supported by Vox to become president. For the time being, Santiago Abascal's party claims not to have had any contact with the PP and strongly criticizes the time chosen by Mazón to announce his resignation, coinciding with the opening of the trial against the Attorney General of the State, Alvaro García Ortiz.
Without this alliance, Les Corts should call elections in two months if no candidate gains the confidence of the House.
Deadlines and names at stake
The parliamentary groups have until 19 November to submit their nominations.
Mazon is replaced by Juanfran Perez Llorca , general secretary of the PP's Les Corts party, and María José Català , mayor of Valencia, but the latter has stressed that she will not take office.
Mazon will remain fit and active.
Mazon has ruled out early elections and will remain an autonomous member of parliament to maintain his capacity and will remain in charge of the Consell in office until his replacement is elected, presumably at the end of November.
At the internal level, the Valencian PP is seeking consensus on the party structure. The main provincial leaders have supported thepresident of the Valencia Council, Vicent Mompo , to lead the PPCV, but he will not be able to run for the Generalitat because he is not an autonomous deputy.
