There is already a scheduled date for the constitutional setup in Alicante County. The new president will be inaugurated on Friday the 21st, alongside the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, marking the final day of the election campaign. The Alcalali Town Hall resolution shows that Valencia’s Community has cleared the way for a new institution to emerge next week after the TSJ Valencia approved Compromís’ appeal concerning the Marina Alta municipality. In the council, the People’s Party would hold an absolute majority with 16 of 31 seats. PSPV-PSOE would hold thirteen seats, Compromís would secure one seat, and Vox would enter the Provincial Palace for the first time, once more with an ally. The far-right formation has confirmed its representative will be Gema Alemán, the mayor of Sant Joan d’Alacant. The events reflect shifting dynamics across Valencian politics as parties position themselves for governing coalitions and regional strategy.
TSJ
The TSJ evaluated a contentious objection raised by Compromís on Wednesday, noting 296 votes in favor rather than 248 in the 28M municipal elections in Alcalalí. The ruling confirms a Valencian majority in the council with three seats for the PP and five for Alcalalí Decidix. After clearing the situation in this town hall and other lingering matters, including the Ibi and Crevillent cases, a total of 141 state consultations were approved that enabled the City Council’s constitution. The results of regional and municipal elections held at the end of May fell into the hands of the PP, signaling a broader shift in local governance across the region.
TSJ continues without verdict on Alcalalí and Provincial Assembly’s constitution is delayed
Prior to the formation of the Provincial Assembly, the former president Carlos Mazón stepped down to prepare for the plenary session, a transition described as part of an orderly handover. Mazón held a press conference to assess his four-year tenure at the helm of the Consell, flanked by government members who applauded his tenure. Mazón left the provincial institution and resigned from his post, leaving the Provincial Assembly to navigate ongoing investments estimated at 1.757 billion euros with zero debt. Between Mazón’s resignation and Pérez’s inauguration, Vice President Ana Serna acted as president. Her continuation in the role signals a bridging period for the administration as new leadership takes the helm.
government team
Serna returns as one of the three representatives from the previous PP government team who will continue with the new popular group. The others are Juan de Dios Navarro and Bernabé Cano. Joining them, and working alongside President Pérez, are twelve additional PP deputies: Arturo Poquet, Loreto Serrano, Cristina García, Lourdes Llopis, José Antonio Bermejo, David Aracil, Marina Sáez, Antonio Bernabeu, Francisco Cano, Carlos Pastor, Magdalena Martínez, and Carmen Sellés. The socialist group will see three MPs from the prior term—José Antonio Amat, Joaquín Hernández, and Isabel López—keeping their seats. The PSPV spokesperson will become the mayor of l’Alfàs del Pi, Vincent Arques, while the remaining nine deputies include José Ramiro, Verónica Giménez, Raúl Ruiz, Raquel Martín, Yolanda Seva, Francis Rubio, Manuel Ros, Pilar Díaz, and Nuria Llodrá. In Compromís, Ximo Perles will succeed Gerard Fullana. Vox will place Alemán, with conversations at the local level indicating Mario Ortolá as a potential councilor, though Alemán is confirmed as the representative for the ultras in Alicante. The evolving composition sets the stage for a tense but strategic balance of power across the province. [Source: regional electoral resolutions and party statements]
