The PP and Vox have once again demonstrated their close alliance in the voting on the resolution proposals of the General Policy Debate in Les Corts. The 'popular' have supported all of Vox's initiatives except one, focused on immigration and other issues, while Abascal's party has supported all of the PP's except one related to regional financing and additional issues.
In contrast, none of the proposals presented by PSPV and Compromís have managed to advance. The votes concluded at 21:25 hours this Wednesday, after nearly 12 hours of debate on all initiatives. The 'president' of the Generalitat, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, attended the hemicycle to vote at the end of the interventions.
Among the measures of Vox that have prospered with the support of the PP, the tightening of sanctions against squatting and the development of the concept of "national priority" in areas such as access to housing and social policies stand out, in addition to already common demands such as repealing policies linked to the European Green Deal or the 2030 Agenda and strengthening the fight against illegal immigration.
One of the proposals from Vox approved with the 'yes' from the PP suggests "making effective" the application of "national priority" to guarantee the "priority allocation of resources to those who maintain a real, lasting, and verifiable connection." It also plans to launch a "Valencian office of connection and return," included in the 2026 budgets, and promote the voluntary return of migrants.
In this same line, it is requested to suspend the "mandatory" distribution of unaccompanied foreign minors among the CCAA and "strengthen control over entities funded with public funds."
Education, immigration, and clash over an "omnibus" proposal
In the educational field, the PP has supported an initiative from Vox to guarantee "ideological neutrality" in classrooms and avoid "indoctrination practices," as well as to eliminate "ideological or doctrinal" content. The text also includes strengthening educational inspection, creating a "confidential" channel for complaints and claims in centers, modifying the Convive Plan, reinforcing programs against school bullying, ensuring assistance to teachers who are victims of aggression or threats, and completing the works of the Edificant Plan.
The 'popular' group has only rejected one proposal from Vox: the one that demanded publishing statistics on "crime and insecurity associated with mass immigration," "linking access to the healthcare system in general to legal residency in Spain," sanctioning the use of the burqa or niqab, or breaking relations with Morocco, in addition to including issues unrelated to immigration such as studying the feasibility of a third hospital in the city of Alicante. According to the PP's spokesperson, Nando Pastor, they voted against it because it was an "omnibus" initiative that mixed too many topics.
On the other hand, among the proposals from the PP that Vox has supported is advancing in "educational freedom" so that, in addition to the choice of center and language, families can choose "the type of school day they consider best for their children and for family reconciliation," as well as continuing with the "purification" of the Edificant Plan.
In parallel, the Government is urged to modify the LOMLOE, approve a National Reading Plan, implement common external and standardized evaluations, and recover the National Bullfighting Award.
Other 'popular' initiatives that have gone ahead include continuing to review regulations to "make compatible the protection of territory and the environment with the arrival of investments," promoting floodable metropolitan parks, supporting hunting, processing the new Comprehensive Waste Plan, advancing in the update of the Forest Fire Risk Plan, "defending" the coast, opening new routes at the Castellón airport, advancing in the execution of lines 10, 11, and 12 of Metrovalencia, and promoting the improvement of the Valencia Bus Station.
In terms of emergencies, several demands are made to the central Government: reinforce the occupational risk prevention of forest firefighters, establish a usage protocol and a pre-alert system for ES-Alert, improve the SAT and SAD system of the SAIH of the CHJ, toughen penalties for arsonists, and have Aemet update the precipitation levels of the thresholds for rain alerts "to make them consistent with the climatic reality of the Comunitat Valenciana."
Autonomous financing and blocking of leftist proposals
The only initiative of the PP that Vox did not support focused on financing and demanded convening the CPFF to open a "multilateral" debate and that the reform be "fair, equitable, and equal" for all the CCAA. In addition, it requested a leveling fund while the new model is not approved and a "definitive solution" for the public debt of the Generalitat. In that same proposal, the 'popular' included other demands such as requiring the Government to temporarily cede the Lady of Elche or a common protocol of action against hate crimes due to LGTBIfobia.
Neither PSPV nor Compromís have managed to gain support for their texts. Both groups proposed measures to combat real estate speculation by vulture funds and recover the Valencian Emergency Unit with the aim of reinforcing the protection of the Comunitat against disasters like the dana of 2024.
Regarding financing, the socialists urged the Consell to support the Government's proposal and, otherwise, present an alternative within a month. Compromís, for its part, demanded to set aside "partisan interests" and negotiate a new system that included a leveling fund.
During the debate, the PSPV criticized the PP for rejecting the Government's model, which would mean an additional 3.669 billion euros for the Comunitat. "Stand by the Valencians," the socialists demanded from the head of the Consell. Several PSPV deputies displayed signs with the message 'The PP steals 3.669 billion annually in financing.'
In response, the PP has asked to "not simplify" the debate, has assured that they always defend "the same thing" and that they want a new system, but not the one proposed by the central Executive, and has questioned the PSPV if those 3.669 billion "solve the underlying problem": "They have gone from defending one thing to another, with Ximo Puig they went out to claim what the PP is now claiming."
In turn, Compromís has accused the PP of practicing "populism, confrontation, and gaining political profit" and has demanded the new model, the leveling fund, and the cancellation of the debt. They have also reproached the 'popular' for talking about "the Catalan separatists": "What does a Valencian care about what they think in Catalonia?".
Vox has insisted that the current financing system "discriminates" and causes "that the usual ones, the Basque Country and Catalonia, ask for more because they believe they deserve more than the other Spaniards." The party demands a new model at the state level "for all Spaniards, equal and equitable," considering that the current one "is failed."
Immunity of Mazón and controversy over the dossier on Llorca
In addition, the left-wing groups demanded that the 'former president' Carlos Mazón resign from his position as a PP deputy to stop being immune and to clarify responsibilities for the damage. The 'populars' have rejected this request, arguing that the TSJCV resolved "unanimously" the "absence of any responsibility" in his management of the disaster that left 233 dead. "This debate about his immunity has no place," they concluded.
Throughout the nearly 12 hours of session, the issue of the alleged dossier of supposed irregularities and "suspicions of corruption" that would affect Llorca and his environment has also loomed, and that the PSPV will send to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office due to "the seriousness of the facts recorded." "You put in the votes, the PP the detectives," a socialist deputy reproached Vox and the 'populars' during one of his interventions.
