The government delegate in the Valencian Country, Pilar Bernabé, of the PSPV-PSOE, has formalized her candidacy to run for mayor of Valencia in the May 2027 elections, in which she will compete against the current mayor, M. José Català, of the Popular Party; Mónica Oltra, of Compromís, and the candidate presented by Vox, which has not yet been decided, but everything points to Vicente Barrera, a former bullfighter and former Minister of Culture, as well as former vice president.

The delegate of the Spanish government in the Valencian Country, Pilar Bernabé, explained today that Seprona has ruled out natural causes such as lightning or similar at the point where the fire began, at the old Venta dels Bous. Although the investigation is just beginning, she stated that the fire was intentionally started, and that it could have been with a cigarette butt or a lighter. The Spanish Government Delegation and the Valencia City Council have coordinated to clarify the facts. The mayoress, María José Catalá, explained that they will soon begin to "upload to the Local Police information that residents have provided".

The delegate of the Spanish government in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, stated this Monday that it would have been counterproductive for the State to have declared a national emergency and taken over the management of the emergency on the day of the storm in the Valencian Community against the will of the Generalitat. She said this this Monday in the investigation commission of the Congress of Deputies on the catastrophe.
