Mazón, president of the Generalitat 46 days after 28M
Carlos Mazón, has been proclaimed president of the Generalitat 46 days after the Valencian autonomous elections of 28M, when the Popular Party turned around in the autonomous elections of the Valencian Community, where he won the elections and obtained the results that allow him to govern again. again the Generalitat, which he presided over from 1995 to 2015.
The electoral appointment meant the breaking of the technical tie between the blocks of the right and the left by a difference of five deputies in favor of the conservative block, which marked a change of cycle after two legislatures of the Consell del Botànic.
Mazón thus placed himself in a position to be the seventh president of the Generalitat -the fifth of the PP, after Eduardo Zaplana, José Luis Olivas, Francisco Camps and Alberto Fabra-.
The PP, winner of the 28M elections, began a round of meetings with the parliamentary groups with representation in Les Corts the week after the elections.

Likewise, the Vox candidate for the 28M elections, Carlos Flores, who in 2002 was convicted of violence against his ex-wife, announced that he would be number 1 in Valencia’s candidacy for Congress in the 23J general elections.
The challenge of balancing the new Valencian stage of the PP with its pact with Vox
A lover of long-distance races (of the last ones he has run are the Alicante-Elche-Santa Pola and Valencia half marathons), the political strategy that Mazón has followed could be similar to those faced by an athlete to complete the 21,097 meters of a ‘ average’, especially in terms of dosing efforts and pushing at specific moments to go from less to more until the finish line.
An adequate capacity for suffering and overcoming and a good strategy when it comes to managing times have helped him to complete the greatest challenge of his political career, already long because he started it shortly after finishing Law in 1999, when he was appointed general director of the Valencian Youth Institute (IVAJ) with Eduardo Zaplana at the helm of the Generalitat.
Four years later he became regional director general of Commerce and Consumption, and in 2007 he changed scope by becoming one of the vice-presidents of the Alicante Provincial Council, in the Joaquín Ripoll stage, where he demonstrated his skills as a negotiator by carrying out three provincial plans for works unanimously, with the support of the socialists.
Like the athlete who knows how to dose himself, Mazón’s career has had spurts and stops, since in 2009 he decided to temporarily move away from politics to become manager of the Alicante Chamber of Commerce for a decade.
In those years she was able to enjoy raising her two children, the twins Carmen and Carlos, now 16 years old, and they allowed her to develop some of her hobbies, such as participating in the musical group Marengo, a quartet where she played the guitar and sang touring the province with years of between 30 and 40 ‘bolos’.
Herculaneum by birth and also a Barcelona fan by vocation since he discovered Maradona there as a child, the popular will now return to establish his residence in Valencia just as he did during his first years in politics with the regional positions he held.
