Too much. You just have to observe and see the frivolity and mediocrity that exists in politics. For the last 30 years, one side and the other side continue to offer the same prescriptions for unresolved problems, and as a good liberal, I understand that the first thing that should be in a political scenario is freedom, tolerance. . For this reason, it has been very valuable individually and collectively.
He was very critical of PP when he came out, and so are with the breakups that are happening now. Don’t you think they’re volunteers?
I will always respect voluntary decisions, both on entry and exit. I made this decision myself. The problem is that what was conceived long ago is a plan to eventually destroy this project from within. This is also a matter of ethics. They wanted to sell what they had committed to unite the centre-right, and what happened is a disgraceful attack on a political project and a renegade I can’t understand. As you can see, those who admit this have a hard time explaining this to their members and their officials. I invite you to see what is happening in l’Alfàs del Pi, Orihuela and many other towns. In our case, I think we won and cleared the game.
In any case, it was a transfer. Will it be paid at the ballot box, will the C’s understand this?
I don’t think that the voters of Ciudadanos are aware of these mediocrities, but rather they expect the project to work. He is a very critical voter who pays for small mistakes. So we have over 2,000 accusations and not a single corrupt member of our political establishment. If we did, we wouldn’t have a single vote.
Because of exactly what you’ve told me, don’t you think you will measure your game’s usefulness and be disappointed with what happened a second time in the Alicante State Assembly?
I don’t believe It demands and wants things to change so that its project is consistent. In some cases we may not have been, but some of the perceived is wrong.
What is it referring to?
If you ask about Rivera, they’ll tell you that he didn’t want to deal with Sánchez and that it was wrong, never happened. Sánchez never believed in this deal. The same thing happened for Inés Arrimadas after a great result in Catalonia. There’s no culture of wanting to get to the bottom of everything. I’d say only 14 to 15% of the population in Spain is about to see it, because it’s the merits and the effort. All I tell them is that we will not fail them, neither me nor the project.
Cs is running regional elections after a recent re-establishment and with a relatively new leader. What distinguishes it compared to its competitors?
Courage and I won’t say because she is the only female candidate for president, which this one is. She definitely has the courage of a liberal, progressive, tolerant person who is not afraid to talk to everyone. Here there is no government without Citizens, but here more importantly, no progress without C’s. Hatred will end here and the only way to end it is through Ciudadanos.
Therefore, the preparation of the lists, including the regional list, was delayed. What result do you foresee?
It was an illusion print. The important thing is that intelligence and quality were applied at that time. If you ask what will happen after May 28, that’s when it starts. One of the things this party needs to learn and do better is to have a greater presence in the area, but not just any presence. I think this is a lesson from the previous phase.
A plan has long been devised to destroy this project from within.
There was talk of lowering the electoral bar, and they were able to do it at the head of the legislature. Do they regret it?
He was wrong not to bet 3% on Ciudadanos, but they were also wrong from the depths of that freedom and representation. The Valencian Parliament cannot knowingly decide that 150,000 Valencians have deprived their demonstration of political representation. This makes absolutely no sense. At the 29th, it is possible that many regret this decision, and even more so than the left.
The CIS survey was published last week. How do you value?
I have presented about 50 local nominations so far and they have been very supportive. This is my survey.
Does it mean it doesn’t provide reliability? Not a business tool for you?
Yes, that’s right, it’s a tool, but when you’re a prostitute… Polls for a long time have given us a much lower percentage than the real thing, but Ciudadanos will disappear in the Community of Valencia and in many other countries. City Halls, I’m telling you that you’ve already lost all hope. This will not happen. We will be determined and demanding in the structuring of the next governments.
What is your opinion on a third Botanical?
Valencians will have a say. The best government would be one that eschews existing dogmatisms, eliminates whims such as supporting brethren with contracts, or that has no corruption. Sometimes I think questions of ethics and integrity are more important than lowering taxes.
I think we won because we cleared the game.
Let’s start with the program, what differentiating suggestions would you highlight?
There are intersecting issues. Example: health. Let’s stop lying to people. I mean, the only solution here is to hire the thousands of professionals needed. This money was already when PP ruled. And how much has been done to improve finances? Ximo Puig and Joan Baldoví did zero. When it comes to social housing, we see this left doing zero, which giggles so much and is more dedicated to humiliating the brilliant businessmen from our land than management, and the poll doesn’t say that. As for education, is it possible for us to continue in this country without looking at each other and without our pact? Both the left and the right have a problem and that is that they have dogmas, not an ideology, and unfortunately some of them seem to be sects. My party has a doctrine: first freedom, then tolerance, then no one is left behind, and third, make sure to talk to everyone for the progress of the country.
You mentioned housing, what solutions would you suggest?
I invite everyone who is reading us now to assemble all the houses they are committed to building, and you will understand that it will take about 40 years.
From financial hell to new taxes, where is Ciudadanos?
Well, right in the center. As the right or the extreme right say, there is absolutely no service without taxes. We offer wealth-generating tax breaks. For example, in personal income tax, for a person who rents out his house. What I cannot say is that, as the right-wing says, all the money here must be in the pockets of the citizens. We have financial pressure in the Community and across Spain.
Tourism is not among the five main axes of its program, but some issues have been raised for the province of Alicante. What is your tourism model?
Firstly, the Ministry of Tourism will not be alone because we want to bet on quality tourism and that means it will be with culture and sports. The second will be in Benidorm. 85% of the civil servants working in the different entities of the Generalitat Government cannot be in Valencia because the people of Alicante contribute more than 45% of the Valencia Community’s GDP.
It was wrong that Ciudadanos didn’t bet 3% in reference to the electoral lane
One of the axes is the birth rate and advocates free surrogacy birth.
I am a progressive liberal. Freedom is absolutely above all, as long as it is treated with dignity. What right do I have to tell you how you live or who you live with, be it euthanasia, surrogacy, abortion or whatever? It’s the dogma of the left that says we’ll all live great, but however they want. I don’t want to live in a slum. And the dogma of right is that I will forbid all your freedoms.
Ciudadanos contests elections with minor partners such as Self-Employed. Do you think they will add?
Of course, and I feel very proud. They are great political powers, the essence of the small is mediocre, but this question makes me very happy because after May 28, this unity will be much more important. And so far I can read.
Everyone is out for the best results, but what does José Miguel Saval have in mind after the 28M?
I leave knowing that I will be determined, not the majority. I will make a constructive, transformative decision. He’s determined to bet because this Community and these lands got what they deserved and stopped being insulted. In the case of the province of Alicante, stop being underestimated by mine, both Madrid and Valencia. Ciudadanos decided to resist. Ciudadanos has already overcome all this mediocrity of political forces. Ciudadanos experienced that moment of weakness and decided to resist. Today we offer more than 800 applications across Spain.
In a personal capacity?
If you ask me if I should continue, the answer is a resounding yes. Additionally, I’m telling you that I have always been in politics in a progressive and focused liberal position since I was born, and there is no political force that represents that today and no tomorrow.
