Rumors Swirl Around Carlos Mazón's Potential Leave of Absence Amidst Resignation Speculations

Following Carlos Mazón's resignation announcement as the head of the Generalitat Valenciana, numerous reports have emerged suggesting his intention to take a leave of absence starting this Tuesday, November 4. However, these claims have been firmly denied by the Popular Party (PP). According to the latest statements from party sources, Mazón’s proposed leave, which would place Vice President Susana Camarero in charge of the Generalitat, has been dismissed. Contrary to the circulating rumors, the PP has confirmed that Mazón has not specified any medical leave and will adhere to his doctor’s recommendations. The PP has also reassured the public that Mazón will preside over the plenary session of the Consell tomorrow as scheduled. This clarification has heightened concerns over the already controversial nature of Mazón's resignation speech delivered at the Palau de la Generalitat, where his manner of announcing his departure raised eyebrows. Speculation regarding what a potential leave of absence would mean for Mazón continues, especially following the PP's assurances that he remains in office until the publication of a new president in the Official State Bulletin (BOE). This process will only commence once Mazón officially submits his resignation, a timeline that remains uncertain. Several legal experts suggest an alternative motive for Mazón seeking a leave: potentially avoiding appearances before investigation committees related to the DANA crisis. However, such a leave of absence would only provide him with a temporary reprieve, lasting approximately three days. Legal analysts have indicated that if it were proven that this leave was fraudulent, there could be significant legal repercussions for the acting president. A survey conducted among readers revealed overwhelming sentiments of disappointment regarding Mazón's public appearance, with many expressing the sentiment of 'shame' concerning his conduct.
