2015 Valencian regional election

This result was attributed to the party's management of the economic crisis, as well as the various corruption scandals that affected the PP throughout the entire 2011–2015 period, some of which were unveiled just weeks before the election.

The Citizen Agreement, an electoral alliance led by United Left of the Valencian Country (EUPV), did not reach the minimum threshold of five percent of the regional vote to achieve representation and therefore lost all of its seats in the Corts.

[1] Voting for the Corts was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in the Valencian Community and in full enjoyment of their political rights.

[3][4] The 99 members of the Corts Valencianes were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of five percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied regionally.

[11] The Corts Valencianes were officially dissolved on 31 March 2015 after the publication of the dissolution decree in the DOGV, setting the election date for 24 May and scheduling for the chamber to convene on 11 June.

[13] The following years saw the unveiling of a series of corruption scandals that rocked the PP, involving party deputies,[14] mayors,[15] local councillors,[16] two Corts's speakers[17] and former regional president José Luis Olivas.

[19] The regional party leadership also had to cope with accusations of illegal financing,[20] as well as possible embezzlement offences in the additional costs incurred in the Formula 1 project and Pope Benedict XVI's 2006 visit to Valencia.

Despite the regional decision to ask for a bailout from the central government headed by Mariano Rajoy in July 2012,[23] its economic situation remained severe.

Fabra's government had to close down RTVV, the regional public television broadcasting channel, because of financing issues, a decision which was met with widespread protests.
