In a surprising turn, Minister of Education Vincent Marzà announced his resignation from a force whose name carries the weight of the entire ruling coalition. Observers note that this move positions Marzà as a central player within a broader brand of governance, while the vice president of the regional council appears to be the one who set the trigger. The spokesperson, Monica Oltra, who has resisted stepping aside, now faces scrutiny over whether the courts department could be slowing an investigation into abuse alleged to involve her former husband. The question looms: what would Oltra do if Marzà were to depart, especially as blame edges closer from the Superior Court’s perspective?

The resignation must be read against ongoing internal dynamics within Compromís, the coalition aiming to unseat Oltra and present a candidate for the next Generalitat presidency. The timing suggests a strategic maneuver rather than a sudden exit, with Marzà signaling a departure from the council while his party’s general secretary remains in place, not the coalition’s vice president or a representative speaking for the entire alliance. The message hints at an official opening of the competition for leadership while maintaining that the candidacy will continue on the table. This move is interpreted by many as part of a larger realignment within the coalition. Cited: internal discussions among Compromís leadership.
Yet the most consequential actor remains Ximo Puig, who appears to be driving a broader reshuffle. Oltra’s political standing has become precarious, and the coalition’s ability to manage the situation is seen by many as limited. Even if it is not openly acknowledged today, the sense is that the situation will demand a decisive change soon. Marzà’s unpredictable action narrows the cabinet’s room for maneuver and raises questions about who truly commands the government’s direction. Puig has signaled plans to refresh the cabinet to inject new momentum, while opponents acknowledge the strain within the alliance. In this climate, the resilience of the coalition and its capacity to respond to internal fractures will determine whether the government can sustain its agenda or face renewed challenges.
