With a little less than a year until the 2023 elections are held, different political options are starting to pave the way for their candidacy again. Next year’s elections in the community emerge as decisive for groups like Ciudadanos (Cs), a party in the midst of a struggle for survival. ballot box bleeding in successive appointments across national geography. The war on the territory of Valencia is just as complex, and opinions are divided on the best strategy to follow. The Oranges’ regional coordinator openly denies that their formation will join hands with the People’s Party (PP) in the next elections, but not everyone in his ranks thinks the same and now differences are emerging, making it public. That’s something the state’s orange coordinator announced this Monday. Javier GutierrezDiverting from the position of María Muñoz and advocating the opening of channels of dialogue to create synergies with the party led by Carlos Mazón, in his statements to this media.
Despite all the polls against it, it is recognized that it would be practically impossible for Cs to repeat the results of 2019, when the formation positioned itself as the third power in the Valencian Parliament with 18 deputies. On this occasion, oranges stepped on the heels of the PP, which received 19 representatives and also became part of the Provincial Assembly, as well as the governments of the respective cities such as Alicante and Orihuela. They have little doubt that repeating this achievement in the current context is almost a delusion, and therefore they believe that efforts should be focused on achieving the goal. brand gets the greatest representation possible by exploring alternative formulas. This is something Gutiérrez is convinced of, who did not hesitate to take a step to make sure that the regional coordinator’s statements, emphasizing that even the possibility of signing alliances with the PP were not considered, “not include all the agreements. The sensitivities of us who are part of the CS”.
Gutiérrez, a councilor in Xixona and a lawmaker in the state institution, chose to flag his own profile against the story of his party’s regional coordinator. Right now, rather than resounding positions, “what we need is among all of us who make up C’s, let’s discuss and talkand these views reach us national addressthat is where the real decision will be made, not on the land”. These are, in any case, statements that show that the debate on this issue is still open in the party. Or at least that’s part of it. the aspect of militancy and, in particular, Alicante, the province where the oranges concentrate their largest share of power in the entire Valencian Community.
From Alicante, we are determined to open a dialogue space to create the necessary synergy that will lead us to the next elections with maximum representation. Exploring possible electoral coalitions is one of the study options.Transferring models that have been successful, such as the Cs and PP coalitions in the Diputación de Alicante or the capital’s City Council. This is the model that should be given continuity, coalitions with a clear roadmap that respects the values of transparency and good governance of the Cs”. This is the wake-up call that the provincial coordinator somehow initiated to the provincial coordinator. The highest representative of the party in the Community, the province of Alicante, to try to guarantee the continuity of the acronym He makes it clear that he has his own voice to demand an issue that he thinks is key.Furthermore, Gutiérrez says whatever the case may be, decisions will be taken in national bodies and therefore it is not up to Muñoz to have a discussion and decision that is not confined to this regional area.
So, while the Cs provincial coordinator kicks off the message that forming pact lines with PP can clearly strengthen a declining party, the regional coordinator bets a seemingly harder line by having PP say it “stopped its bid to take the giants. For the Cs charges, what he didn’t say is that now he wants our votesIn any case, two conflicting views about the present and the future of an entity that, if there is one thing that everyone agrees on, would be doomed to indifference if it continued to lose its influence.
Gutiérrez steps up pressure for condemnation movement in Orihuela
Javier Gutiérrez, the state’s CS coordinator, stressed once again that the party must make an important decision on the no-confidence motion, which will be voted on in Orihuela next Monday. In the capital, Vega Baja, five orange councilors signed an agreement with the PSOE and Cambiemos (unides Podem-linked education) to seize the Mayoralty from the PP, with which they have shared government so far. The five mayors of the Arrimadas formation will now continue in government hand in hand with the Socialists, while the Pact leaves the leadership to the Socialists. The maneuver was carried out without the approval of the party leadership, and although Gutiérrez announced the opening of an informative dossier that could result in expulsion, the truth is that to date no action has been taken by the party by Inés Arrimadas. “This fact may set future lines if Orihuela councilors are allowed to develop without deportation and a movement from the national leadership accompanied by Podemos,” Gutiérrez warns.
