The PSOE’s institutional positions at the regional, provincial and regional levels supported Carolina Gracia’s new mayor, Orihuela, following a no-confidence motion to impeach former councilor Emilio Bascuñana, who was already in the town, from mayor, who also received popular support. The same was the case with the presence of representatives of the parties that make up the Cambiemos municipal group, who, despite reaching an agreement with the Socialists to implement the motion, would not be part of the government team. However, Ciudadanos members did not join after the party left the PP and questioned the order in which five councilors agreed with the Socialists.
PSPV-PSOE Organizing Secretary José Muñoz made a succinct statement “as the hero is the new mayor”, but made it clear that it was “a historic day for Orihuela” when considering “definitely a reprimand”. necessary to start the city and end the paralysis established by the PP.” there is “one year of intensive work” with the goal of “a big capital city”.
Along the same lines, Joaquín Hernández, general secretary of the party in Vega Baja, stated that this is “a positive change for the PSOE and for Carolina, who may be in power in the coming period”. In addition, he argued, “the four years without approving the budget show inefficiency in Bascuñana’s administration.” In fact, new government partners PSOE and Ciudadanos stated that as this paper progresses, the first measure will be to approve new bills that will align with social policy.
Toni Pérez, head of the state’s PP, described what happened as an act of “changing everything so that nothing changes” and stressed that on the contrary, the party will continue to “firmly defend Orihuela’s interests from an enemy, constructive opposition” as “water, freedom, progress, where they cut us off”. , economic measures and all these policies that serve to improve the lives of citizens, because Orihuela now has a government that cuts off what it does and looks the other way. When you try to help, invest or defend what the Orihuela people need before the Spanish Government”. In this sense, he said, “PP will work with all its structures to help the municipality regain the government it deserves.”
María Gómez, coordinator of the PP in Vega Baja, dismissed the motion as “unfair”, reminding that it is a complex task, as well as saying “it is not true that there is a paralysis in management”. In Vega Baja for the devastating DANA that devastated the region in 2019 and was subsequently followed by the pandemic. As a result, “we accept this and will use it to develop”, not forgetting that the municipal, regional and provincial coordination of the party calls on different infrastructure administrations to “continue to defend the interests of the region”. It’s a situation like we live in and investments to structure the region”.
With a crowded auditorium to follow the extraordinary plenary session, Citizens’ lack of support for municipal positions was noted. Javier Gutiérrez, the provincial coordinator of the orange formation, said, “The situation is twice unfortunate because in the end, five councilors with the abbreviation Cs sat in a town hall and voted against the party’s national-level directive. The national-level party had been aware of the issue for about a month and had all the information from the provincial committee. It is just as unfortunate that he did not make a decision despite the fact.” Therefore, “the provincial committee has already conveyed its position: it was necessary to suspend a militancy that respected all guarantees for the relevant councilors,” he said.
The deputy mayor and councilor, José Aix (Cs), stressed that they coordinated with the party “from the first minute” before stepping down to register the motion. He also added, “We have peace of mind knowing that we are doing what is best for the party. Speaking of blocking, I think no one will allow us to continue to support someone. With a moderate policy, we justify the Cs project more than ever before, being at the center and being able to lead it with whomever we want”.
Estefanía Blanes, spokesperson for EUPV’s senior management and head of Corporate Policy, gave Cala Mosca the last kilometer of the virgin coast, celebrating “this change of government necessary to advance social policies and above all to protect the region”. In the municipality, where the construction of more than 2,000 houses is planned, it is “a symbol of resistance to the urban model of the PP, a model that feeds the region”. Finally, after the general meeting of the trustees of Vox in Cortes, “sanchismo, embracing communists, separatists, and terrorist terrorists, came to Orihuela hand in hand with the numerous betrayals of Ciudadanos, but in May 2023 Vox will give the City the state it deserves.”
