Manolo Mata’s departure from the Cortes punches a major hole in the socialist group that finds itself in a state of relief before the one-year election. The natural and simple option is for the current deputy spokesperson, Carmen Martínez, to take over. The least problematic and what will happen for now.
No one in the current group is capable of the dialectic and oratory of a lawyer, recognized by those who oppose the tribune on more than one occasion, but the spokesperson of the governing group is often not the most listened to in any parliament. In the world. This role, as the main voice of the socialists, is already reserved for Generalitat President Ximo Puig. The main function of a spokesperson in a coalition government is to liaise with the rest of the forces of agreement. And in this role, Martínez, a senior mayor (Quart de Poblet) and getting along well with Síndicler and other parliamentarians from Compromís and Unides Podem, could very well fit in.
In any case, it’s Puig’s decision. And he can take advantage of the situation for Consel’s reform, electing a councilor as trustee (female option only possible) who must leave the Executive. The two members of the government, who are socialist MPs respectively, are Health Minister Ana Barceló and Justice Minister Gabriela Bravo.
This last option was overlooked, but not that of Barceló, a veteran parliamentarian who was already vice-speaker in Botànic’s first legislature, demonstrating his skills and also taking on much of the Executive’s wear and tear during the worst months. Pandemic. coronavirus. His departure from government was in all the comments when Consel’s crisis was predictable. Another factor at stake is whether Barceló is the favorite on Alicante’s list in the municipal elections.
Manager’s restructuring was not on the table now. Puig gave up a long time ago. Mata’s departure status could rekindle the discussion. However, one of the arguments for avoiding changes has become sharper. A shortage of time, no matter who takes office in healthcare.
Apart from these options, Puig always has the creative solution to seek promotion of a little-known face within the group. There will be a trial period until we see what’s in the chests.
