Carlos Mazón will be sworn in as president of the Generalitat Valenciana on July 13. One day before, he will resign as president of the Provincial Council of Alicante, as he has indicated today. And this afternoon he will meet with the president of the Cortes, Llanos Massó, to finalize a proposal that should take shape tomorrow at the meeting of the Mesa de les Corts. The date has been finalized after the agreement reached with the PSPV and with Compromís, as this newspaper had announced.
The leadership of the PSPV had transferred to this newspaper its predisposition for the investiture of Carlos Mazón as president of the Generalitat Valenciana to be carried out on July 13 or 14, at the end of next week. “It will be safe next week”, these sources point out, convinced that this Friday the Mesa de les Corts will reach an agreement so that what the Valencian PP wants is fulfilled, that the vote in the Valencian parliament is no longer delayed.
Since the elections of the past 28-M, the debate on the date of the investiture of Carlos Mazón has starred in the Valencian political agenda. From the PP, Ximo Puig has been accused of wanting to delay the date by forcing the deadlines of the regulation to bring it closer to the date of 23-J, the day of the general elections. Since the PSPV, this objective has been officially denied and has always been referred to the “legal” compliance with the deadlines.
The parliamentary groups had until today to establish themselves. They have all done it days ago except for the PSPV that has waited until the last minute. Some, such as Compromís, were established last Tuesday, while Voz was the first to register its parliamentary group and the PP also did so last week to speed up the deadlines. Joan Baldoví, Ombudsman of the Valencian coalition, had already shown his predisposition for the investiture to take place as soon as possible and that he is not in favor of “extending deadlines”.
Mazón has indicated today that “it seems that the full investiture will be on the 13th.” Likewise, he has also indicated that, according to his information, “this plenary session could be held in its entirety in one day”, although he has insisted that it is something that corresponds to the president of Les Corts to decide.
In this sense, he has advanced that, prior to that plenary session, he will resign as president of the Alicante Provincial Council so as not to incur “any possible cause of incompatibility and, above all, for hygiene and democratic respect.”
“I want to do it like this, I do not want to have to submit to a legal report later, nor do I want to accumulate anything. I believe that hygiene and respect, nothing less than an investiture to the Presidency of the Generalitat Valenciana, also deserves a message of institutional respect “, has held.
