The mayor of the Valencian town of Manises, Javier Mansilla, is hospitalized after suffering a myocardial infarction this Friday. Mansilla, 45 years old and a member of the PSPV-PSOE, has held the mayoralty since the beginning of the current legislative term. The events occurred after the mayor presided over the commemorative acts for the first Local Police Day in his municipality, at which point he began to feel unwell, leading to his urgent admission to a hospital. Myocardial infarctions, commonly known as heart attacks, are one of the leading causes of death in the Western world. They occur when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, causing tissue damage. Risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking, and stress contribute to their incidence. Despite advances in cardiology, they remain a medical emergency requiring immediate attention. The news has generated immediate expressions of support from the political sphere. The President of the Valencian Generalitat, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, published a message on social media X wishing the mayor a „speedy recovery”. <cytat autor=
