One year has passed since Carlos Mazón resigned as President of the Generalitat Valenciana on November 3, 2025. His departure followed intense public pressure and protests regarding the management of the DANA weather catastrophe that caused 234 deaths in October 2024.

Since his resignation, Mazón has served as a deputy in the Corts Valencianes. Recent reports from the PSPV have highlighted that he has received 1,931 euros in mileage reimbursements for attending parliamentary sessions, despite having a personal driver provided due to his status as former president.

Following his exit, Juanfran Pérez Llorca was selected by the PP to succeed him. The transition has been aimed at stabilizing the regional government and addressing the political fallout from the emergency management. Current President Pérez Llorca has defended the administration, stating that the regional government assumed political responsibility through the resignations of several officials.
