Consell spokesperson, Miguel Barrachina, said on 25 September that the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Juanfran Pérez Llorcawould enter the Debate de Política General“with all his duties fulfilled”. The debate in the regional parliament Les Corts Valencianes begins on Monday, 28 September 2026, according to parliament, and will last several days. It is Pérez Llorca’s first general debate as head of government and the last of the current parliamentary term.
Barrachina said by way of explanation that the government had approved the 2026 budget in the Consell and reached agreements in key areas in recent weeks, including education and the forest fire brigades. He also pointed to the orderly preparations for parliamentary week. The agenda is set by the Bureau of Les Corts.
The general debate marks the start of the final phase of the parliamentary term in the Comunitat Valenciana political calendar. For the coalition of Partido Popular and Vox it is an opportunity to set out priorities and present initiatives already approved. According to the government, these include the 2026 financial framework and policy packages in education. However, parliamentary consideration of individual proposals — such as the budget debate in Les Corts — is still to come and falls to the relevant committees.
Opposition groups such as PSPV-PSOE and Compromís have criticised the government’s record in recent weeks. Among other things, they have questioned the implementation of approved funding and the scope of some agreements. They have also linked the timing of the debate to the approaching end of the parliamentary term and expect a highly politicised confrontation. These are the respective parties’ assessments; verifiable parliamentary decisions follow the formal procedure in Les Corts.
The debate traditionally consists of an opening address by the president, replies from the parliamentary groups and motions on policy guidelines. In this setting, the government can outline priorities for the coming year, while the opposition puts forward requests for scrutiny and proposed amendments. Such resolutions have legal effect only after a vote and, where applicable, further development in committees or by the Consell.
With 2027, the expected election year, in view, the debate in Les Corts is likely to attract attention beyond the Comunitat Valenciana. The immediate news, however, is the government’s announcement on 25 September that it is well prepared for the general debate — a political assessment whose factual basis will be measured against the parliamentary schedule and the draft proposals approved so far.
