Two weeks ago, he went to Juan Roig in exchange for food money and as a “ruthless monopoly capitalist.” Yesterday, when talking about the expansion of the Port of Valencia, Vicente Boluda was chosen as an example of a “secret and strange businessman”. Behind the adjectives, eleven days apart, the same publisher: Héctor Illueca, second vice-president of the Generalitat and candidate for Podemos.
The Mors’ highest representative at Consell has found to keep his strategy in the media’s attention: point out famous Valencian businessmen by name and surname and tie them together to curb some government action. First, it went to the owner of Mercadona last week for the “inflated prices” of food. Yesterday, he went to the shipping company and the president of the Valencian Entrepreneurs Association, which he criticized by interpreting some of Boluda’s words, and talked about the “strange parties” that condition the Government. We can do between them.
Illueca’s statements against the businessman came after a meeting with the Comissió Ciutat-Port de València and served to show, already known, that the purples refused to expand the port. Thus, he pointed out that in these urban operations, “the interests of a minority like the ongoing Boluda Bey and rare and unknown businessmen who are “too accustomed to their success depend on public support” prevail. absorbing public resources ».
Demonstrating the formation of new flats on the forms, not against the project. Illueca has found a loophole where it can sneak in and make itself the center of media attention. He agrees with Compromís, in addition to proposing to limit the price of certain foods by refusing to expand the infrastructure. But the vice president’s harsh speech is his way of attracting attention.
Last week, he allowed the Podemos candidate to be at the forefront of the debate and separate himself not only from the Socialists, but also from Compromís and a much better known candidate, Joan Baldoví. The purple candidate’s strategy runs counter to the image of moderation and “social dialogue” with unions and businessmen that the distancing Ximo Puig wants to show.
“The destruction and corruption of the region is behind all this great work in the Valencian Community, and we can’t let that come back,” said Podemos’ regional head of administration, regarding the expansion of the port. The matter will intensify between now and the May elections, as it has created tensions with the Socialists and is competing with Compromís in the elections.
