The investigation by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office into the mayor of València for the alleged irregular placement of personnel dominated part of the session. The PSPV and Compromís criticized the regional leader for alleged corruption cases surrounding the PP and demanded his resignation. In response, Pérez Llorca countered by mentioning the Ábalos case regarding public mask contracts and the prosecution of the Spanish Prime Minister's wife, Begoña Gómez, for four alleged crimes.
The socialists initiated the debate by focusing on the ongoing Anti-Corruption proceedings against Catalá —absent from the chamber today— and the president of the Port Authority of València, Mar Chao, following a complaint for alleged prevarication and influence peddling. The PSPV spokesperson, José Muñoz, stated that Pérez Llorca has "a serious problem of exemplary conduct" and criticized him for achieving in four months as president "what took Zaplana, Camps, Barberá, and Castedo twenty years," lamenting that for the PP, "the party never ends." He further reproached him, noting that since he took office, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has been investigating the València City Council, the Alicante City Council, and the Alicante Provincial Council for alleged corruption cases.
“"He's starting to look like Camps."
In his reply, the president declared that the trial of former Valencian socialist minister José Luis Ábalos, the prosecution of the Spanish government president Pedro Sánchez's wife, and the investigation into former PSPV president Josep Maria Àngel were an "absolute disgrace." He added that he does not waste "time in the mud" because he is dedicated to governing. He also urged Valencian socialists to apologize for having the "bullfighting shame" of placing Ábalos as number two on the congressional list for València.
Compromís continued the debate with the same theme. The spokesperson, Joan Baldoví, stated that the Valencian Community is the autonomous region "where corruption grows the most" and argued that a president "should not serve to cover up" these cases. He asked him to resign because he "has amply demonstrated that he is not up to the task" and has once again put Valencians "on the map of corruption."
Pérez Llorca accused Compromís of making "a pact for corruption" with the PSPV, whereby the coalition maintains that bringing Begoña Gómez to trial "is lawfare, and in return, the socialists say that Mónica Oltra's case is lawfare." He criticized Baldoví's group, stating that if they want to end corruption in the Valencian Community, they should "not pact with corrupt socialists."
The head of the Consell also showed agreement with Vox in the debate on the reception of migrant minors. According to the figures provided, regional social services are assisting 590 young people as of March 31, 2026. Pérez Llorca expressed concern about the lack of resources and criticized the Spanish government's new reception system, which anticipates the arrival of another 1,900 minors, when the Valencian model has capacity for 1,800.
“"The distribution of minors serves political interests; the government trades with them. They don't arrive in the Basque Country or Catalonia, but they do come to us, more than we can handle. It's the most racist thing I've seen in politics."
