The arctic cold wave that hit the state this week has settled within the country’s socialists. city of Alicante. Neither the local government nor the candidate took any steps towards consensus on the list of municipalities for the upcoming elections. Relations have been so frozen this week that both parties followed their planned schedule without picking up the phone to the other. As of today, what remains is the local execution scheduled for the afternoon of Monday, March 6th.
Things can change on the weekend and even on a Monday, but when the lines are arctic, it seems hard to meet someone. The statute mandates that the candidate as recognized by the general secretary must be heard. miguel millana; but the step of calling the mayor was not taken Main Barcelonaas confirmed by the former councillor’s entourage.
The paradox in this case is that the PSOE mayoral candidate is the head of the party, but is not a member of the local executive and may find himself unable to submit a list and not receive the necessary support. Party. However, the decision-making and transferring body Ferraz names to be registered Election Board It is chaired by the National Executive Committee (CEN). Ximo PuigCalled at 12 noon on Saturday, March 11th. This fact means that a new postponement could be granted if Millana decides. This additional time between Monday and the weekend could sustain tensions for an extra time or unravel negotiations.
There is a third factor, and that is the popular consequences of militancy. Although complaints of manipulation in the process are seen in the form of names already mentioned, former councilor and Barceló’s opponent in the primary elections, Maria Jose Adsuarreceived the most votes. Its role is secondary, as the sector covering it has 35% of the votes of the executive branch. The initial agreement was to speak to the candidate to propose names, but until this Friday, they state that the mayor was not in touch. Barceló makes exactly the same statement about the Executive, arguing that it is not the same, at least for this newspaper.
Valencia does not interfere
The message from the official district headquarters is unique and repetitive: “It doesn’t matter.” those were the words Ximo Puig In Castellón and at CEN, where there is also a complicated situation. Moreover, the general secretary asked for a “winners list” and put the “mess” aside to take care of the community. In this sense, PSPV-PSOE spokesperson and deputy general secretary, ana DominguezHe pointed out that “the goal is to build the best lists with the best candidates and teams that represent the majority.” From the Valencian organisation, local people are given autonomy in their decision making processes, but the truth is they don’t like how a process is run where many things are at stake.
Two possible meetings were said during the week to bring positions closer, but sources close to the island denied that a meeting was attended in the capital, Túria. This fact, at least in forms, is equivalent to the fact that the equal distance between one block and the other is maintained for the time being.
For the socialists, there is only one week left for the district and municipal lists (towns with more than 20,000 inhabitants) to pass their first cut, and the focus is on just three towns, Alicante, Elche and Torrevieja. The most populous of the province and accordingly more decisive in attracting votes.
