The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, appears before the press after the announcement of VOX's break with the PP, at the Palau de la Generalitat, on July 12, 2024, in Valencia, Valencian Community (Spain). Carlos Mazón has dismissed the first vice president and conseller of Culture, Vicente Barrera, and the heads of Agriculture, José Luis Aguirre, and Justice, Elisa Núñez, without waiting for their resignation, following the decision announced yesterday, July 11, by the leader of VOX, Santiago Abascal, that the vice presidents of four autonomous communities will resign from their posts, and that they will pass in them from governing in coalition to exercise a "loyal and forceful" opposition.
