Of the four presidents Generalitat took from the PP during the 25 years this party was in power (Edward Zaplana, Joseph Louis Olivas’s photo., Francis Camps Y Albert Fabra), three of them involved in corruption scandals. Zaplana spent nine months in prison and is now on trial, sentenced to prison for his subsequent administration as president of the Olivas, Bancaja and Francisco Camps, still pending the resolution of some cases against him, making history as its first president. Consell, who had to resign from her post.
The problem is that politics does not live in the past, it is based on the present and projected into the future. This is the present and the future, management and expectations are what move the electorate. So if you don’t see that it’s completely out of date when you read this article today, when you do, the vice president Monica Oltra If he has not yet resigned, the left will have given the right another day advantage in the race to occupy the next government of the community, whose decisive stretch has already begun. Twenty-four hours may not seem like a lot, but piled up every day a year before the election, each is worth its weight in gold in terms of motivation or discharge.
Summary presented this week by the Attorney General of the High Court of Justice of the Commonwealth of Valencia, Theresa Gisbert Consell’s support for the vice president’s (previously indicted) gaining investigative status has been staunch. But he was the husband of the leader of the Compromis, who was under the protection of the Generalitat and at that time was also the councilor in charge of the girl. But for broadening the horizon drawn by the judge who first instructed the matter. The prosecution thinks it’s a verbal order from Oltra to cover up the case, but goes so far as to mention a “plan” above all to cover it up. The Ministry of Oltra never denounced the facts, but the courts later recognized it as proven and condemned the already ex-husband of the political leader. Now the prosecutor believes this was a premeditated action, not the result of error or mismanagement.
The summary presented this week by the TSJ attorney general leaves the court with little choice: In the face of such serious accusations, it’s hard not to at least testify.
Some journalists are tired of repeating over and over (we haven’t been in court for years) that one thing is criminal liability and another is politics. And that the two should not be confused. Whether Oltra has committed the crimes he is accused of will be determined by Justice in a secured process. However, its political situation is unsustainable. Oltra should have resigned as Minister for Inclusive Policies and Equality (which includes what was formerly known as social work) as soon as she realized that her husband might be involved in the abuse of a minor. Not only that: the government should have proposed that this Ministry, which corresponds to Compromis in the agreement, be undertaken by the PSOE, in order to remove any possible doubt about the actions that follow. He didn’t then. She didn’t when her ex-husband was convicted. A magistrate, considered a moderate in judicial circles, did not do so when he requested his indictment because he was not able to summon himself to testify despite seeing sufficient evidence as being registered with the TSJ. And now he didn’t, either, as the Public Department agreed with the judge’s request, summarizing a more alarming story of what happened than ours.
In the years when there was no day when a PP leader was not accused of committing a crime, Oltra vigorously argued that it was not necessary to wait for judicial decisions to resign. Some of us have and continue to agree with this distinction between criminal prosecution and political responsibility. But the vice-president changed the speech and is now doing it in the same millimeters as those he denounced at the time. He says there is a conspiracy against him from the far right, just as Camps has always claimed that certain forces of the state against him from the left, Zaplana and the CNI as executive. arm. He disqualifies the Public Ministry, accusing it of basing its actions on relevant speculation, as did all the defendants of the PP at the time. And like each of the PP positions pointed out at the time, it looks for odd nuances to hold on to the position. In this sense, it is aurora borealis to read some of the descriptions on the social networks of its most devoted followers trying to explain that Oltra is different because it is not an economic issue.
Monica Oltra should have resigned from the ministry when she first received news of her ex-husband’s abuse and put it in the hands of the PSOE.
No. All this is simpler. A child in a Generalitat reception center was abused there, which the Administration did not report. Oltra may have ordered him to cover up who lived with him, as some have claimed. Or maybe he didn’t, as he claimed in his defence. But if the failure of the system is serious enough to think that the one at the top can’t settle the matter as if nothing had happened, then the fact that the hero of the event is her husband made resignation inevitable. the need to delve further into ethics, aesthetics, responsibility, and consistency. Even if TSJ decides not to charge him, or if he blames him and eventually clears him, the vice president’s credibility and solvency would be irreparably damaged as he didn’t understand from the start the only reasonable thing to do in this case. was to step aside until everything was clear. Do you want me to explain in an easier way? All right, just switch heroes. What would the opposition say, what would we journalists have written if this event had been under the PP government? Let’s be consistent. By the way, I don’t remember any political leader who has been the subject of judicial charges and remained in office for serious signs of irregularity in his actions. We know of cases where the courts have ruled in favor of the accused. But none of them had resigned before. Thus, the Oltra floats against the current. And he knows that better than anyone.
The problem is that in the meantime she is making the only decision that suits her, although she has suffered a lot personally and politically, the harm is not just for herself. The confusion is for all Consell, especially for Compromís, and for the entire Valencian left in general. The government of the left in the Generalitat presented itself in its first phase as an almost perfect orchestra. So much so that it set an example for the whole of Spain on how to govern with a coalition. Even so, power narrowly held up when the 2019 election came: PSOE, Compromis, and United We Can added 52 seats when the absolute majority was set at 50.
The leader of Compromís is now tracing the arguments that all the PP’s defendants used at the time and strongly condemned.
However, in this second stage, the soloist imposes themselves on the orchestra, and in the end they make noise, not music. If not, look at the little brilliance they can get from an investment like the Sagunto gigafactory, the largest in Spain’s history and not even two days on the cover. Their cuffs occupy the escape Marza. Or the central government’s attacks on tourism, freezing Imserso prices now, or suspending the sale of AVE tickets to Alicante in the middle of the high season. Or the vice president’s castle. For example.
I christened Botànic Volcanic at the beginning of 2021 due to the enormous tension between its members, which emerged in the midst of the pandemic as a result of the persistent public complaints that Oltra has fully launched against the management of the fight against covid. By the Executive of a paradoxically constituted piece, and in particular the head of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig. At this point, Botànic, who turned into a Volcanic at the worst of times and still managed to pass the epidemic test with a good grade from the citizens, runs the risk of becoming a Titanic, forgive me. subject help. And of course, if it does happen, Oltra won’t be solely responsible for the sinking. But of course, it has long been the biggest iceberg the ship has faced time and time again. One believed that the left was arguing that the project was superior to the people who embodied it. But it seems not.
Will Consuelo Navarro return?

The parties on the right and left have already started to move in the city of Alicante with the aim of creating the next lists. There is no doubt in PP luis barcala He will be re-elected as mayoral candidate. But the popular leadership, in its latest poll, sonia caste. He wants to know what the former mayor still has, not to offer him a position in this candidacy, but in case he needs to reach a non-aggression pact with him. You also want to know if with Cs Adrian Santos As a candidate, he would take from those who share a councilor or five currently owned by this formation. On the left, United We Can considers the name of the former general secretary of CC OO, in this case an operation promoted by Esquerra Unida, Consuelo Navarroas a candidate for mayor. Assuming you want it, it would be an interesting hit. Compromís has a bylaws problem, which complicates its job. Natxo Bellido Although he is the most known and most valuable active politician of this formation, he may return to the top of the list. However, as always, the lamb’s mother continues to live in PSOE. Socialists, as at other times, are on their way to wasting time, by now they should have solved the mystery and put to work leading their options. But they didn’t. Instead of focusing on Alicante, where they got the same councilors in 2019 and got just two thousand less than the PP, they dispersed, and what they’re doing now is to see if they can fish in the troubled river of El Campello. They still don’t understand anything.
