Juanfran Pérez Llorca met this Monday at the PP headquarters in Madrid with the party’s secretary general, Miguel Tellado, in a context marked by the lack of a definition over who will be the candidate of the Valencian Populars in the upcoming regional elections.

According to ABC, party sources said the meeting in Génova focused on routine matters and that neither the candidacy nor the congress still pending in the Valencian structure, now led by a management committee chaired by Llorca himself, were addressed.

In the same vein, EL PAÍS Internacional cited party leadership sources who said there are “no new developments” regarding the designation of the aspirant to the Generalitat. That outlet also added that the Organization area internally inquired about suspicions of irregularities in the circle around the president of the Generalitat.

According to ABC, the final decision depends on Alberto Núñez Feijóo and the national leadership does not expect to resolve it at the next party meeting. The newspaper also said Génova postponed organizational decisions, including an event to confirm territorial leaders, because of the situation in Ceuta.

ABC said that, after Carlos Mazón’s resignation, Llorca appears to be the most logical option, although the lack of a formal ratification is fueling internal discontent. That outlet added that Génova also considered María José Catalá and that within the PPCV the displays of strength by Vicent Mompó also did not go unnoticed.

The lack of definition will continue for at least the next few days. According to ABC, Llorca will not be able to attend the National Executive Committee meeting next Monday because the General Policy Debate in the Valencian Courts will be held that same day.
