Gabriela Bravo held the roles of Minister of Justice, Interior and Public Administration, but she stepped down after being named the second vice president of the Mesa de Les Corts. In the interim, Ximo Puig, the president of the Generalitat, would take on the powers until Bravo’s successor could formalize the transition. Carlos Mazon was mentioned in connection with the ongoing developments.
The recent days have been shaped by developments surrounding a report from the Generalitat Prosecutor’s Office. The document laid out that Bravo could reconcile her acting duties at the Consell with her responsibilities as a deputy, though it cautioned that a formal “de facto” incompatibility could emerge once she began serving as vice-president. In that case, she would need to abstain from certain agendas or recuse herself from specific decisions to avoid conflicts of interest.
Gabriela Bravo to resign when Parliament’s Desk meets
As a consequence, the first meeting of the Valencia Courts Table, scheduled for Friday and published in the Official Journal of the Generalitat, would see Bravo’s resignation take effect “of her own accord.”

Previously, Bravo had asserted that she would not step down until a genuine mismatch appeared between her new role in the Valencian parliament and her duties within the executive branch. Highlighting the scope of Emergency Situations, she explained that if no resignation occurred, it would be a responsibility she carried with the powers granted by the ministry. This stance reflected a broader expectation of vigilance in crisis management and public safety matters.
The situation also drew scrutiny from political rivals, including leadership figures within the PPCV who questioned the legality of Bravo maintaining a seat on the Chamber’s governing body while holding an executive position. The debate underscored the tension between executive responsibilities and legislative participation, a dynamic that often surfaces when ministers navigate multisectoral duties within a regional government.
