Nuria Montes returns to Hosbec after dismissal from Valencian government
Nuria Montes, the Secretary General of the Valencian hotel association Hosbec, has returned to her professional roots following her departure from public office. Montes previously served as the Minister of Innovation, Industry, Commerce, and Tourism for the Generalitat Valenciana.
Her tenure in government ended on November 18, 2024, when she was dismissed by President Carlos Mazón. The dismissal occurred three weeks after the devastating DANA weather event struck Valencia on October 29. Montes faced significant public scrutiny regarding her communication style toward victims' families at Feria Valencia, which had been used as a provisional morgue. Although she apologized for her tone, the controversy contributed to her exit from the administration.
Montes noted that her most significant professional challenge was managing the hospitality sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, which involved the sudden closure of hotels and the repatriation of 50,000 international clients.
