Les Corts

Les Corts is the parliament of the Generalitat Valenciana, the autonomous community in Spain. Recent news highlights scrutiny of the regional government's actions. Firstly, the opposition parties (PSPV and Compromís) in Les Corts have strongly criticized Juanfran Pérez Llorca, the president of the Generalitat, regarding the employment of his partner in the Diputación de Valencia, accusing him of nepotism. Secondly, the Spanish government has expressed disagreement with several articles of the 'Plan Simplifica II' decree approved by Llorca's Consell, potentially leading to legal challenges. Finally, while not directly related to Les Corts as an institution, the former president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has been called as a witness in the investigation of the DANA disaster, adding to the political climate surrounding the Valencian government. These events underline the active role of Les Corts in overseeing and challenging the executive branch within the Valencian Community.
