The National Board of Directors of the PP approved this month the constitution of a “transition commission”, an official of the PP from the Valencian Community, chaired by Juanfran Pérez Llorca, the president Valencien invested at the end of November. This unexpected decision allowed Genoa to take control of the party after the crisis caused by the decline of Carlos Mazón. The general secretary of the direction will be Carlos Gil, national deputy and mayor of the small town of Benavites, who became its number of biological of Pérez Llorca. Gil is a person very close to the president of the PP of the Province of Valencia and the Diputación de Valencia, Vicente Mompó. Mazón, now president of the PPCV, will have no role in the new governing body.
In addition, the new general coordinator will be the spokesperson for the PP at Valencia City Hall, Juan Carlos Caballero, a man who enjoys the greatest confidence of the mayor, María José Catalá, while the presidency of the Commission of Rights and Guarantees will be assumed by the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, and the electoral commission will be chaired by the spokesperson for the PP in Brussels and vice-president of the European Parliament, Esteban González. Pons.
The incorporation of this Valencian political history of the PP, very close to the national president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in the Valencian town hall, is relevant and demonstrates the commitment of Genoa to give space to the distinct sensibilities of the party and to limit the power of the sector of Alicante that Pérez Llorca controls, in alliance with Mompó.
The current president of the Generalitat was one of the promoters of Mompó’s candidacy to head the PPCV cartel in the autonomous elections of 2027, as part of an operation that aimed to keep Mazón at the head of the Council until then. This option was not well seen by Génova and two days after the meeting of Pérez Llorca, Mompó and the rest of the provincial leaders of the PP to propose the launch of the candidacy of the current president of the Diputación de Valencia, with the good visa of Mazón, then president presented his division on November 3. Mompó could not be elected president by Les Corts Valencianes without being an autonomous deputy. And the one who was parliamentary spokesperson for the PP in Les Corts and secretary general of the party, Pérez Llorca, established himself as the most operational option
Today the national leadership of the PP carries out a coup d’état, agreed with Pérez Llorca, to control the party, open it to its leaders and put it to work to emerge from the crisis. The first option taken was for the executive committee of the Valencian PP to appoint Pérez Llorca as party president and another vocal general secretary, but Genoa ultimately changed its mind and chose to appoint a director.
After the reduction of Mazón, the mayor of Valencia, María José Catalá, defended the formation of a director until the next regional congress, against the option of quickly changing the positions of the party with the celebration of an executive committee. Finally, the National Executive Committee of the Popular Party preferred to call the new governing body of the party in the Valencian Community “transition committee”.
