In a strategic move, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), has reached an agreement with Carlos Mazón, the president of the Valencian Community, amid a political crisis following a devastating flood.

The disaster, which resulted in 218 deaths and 13 missing persons, has severely damaged Mazón's political reputation.

Feijóo has urged Mazón to step down if he fails to regain public support by 2027, emphasizing the need for accountability and effective leadership in the region's recovery efforts.

This agreement marks a shift in Feijóo's leadership style, as he seeks to maintain the PP's electoral strength in Valencia, a crucial region for the party's national ambitions.

The pact also includes a potential government reshuffle in Valencia, aiming to restore public confidence and address the aftermath of the flood.

Feijóo's involvement underscores the broader implications for the PP, as the party navigates internal tensions and prepares for future elections.
