Alicante socialism revolts against Puig for the position of district senator

All within the framework of a national executive commission that left behind a loser: the province of Alicante, again deprived of a regional senator. The PSPV proposal, which must go through the Valencian Parliament, is for Puig himself and the former chief executive of Labora to go. Rocio Briones. Outrage was widespread among the known names of Alicante socialism. They spoke directly of “noneo”

“No one from Alicante is worth it anymore, neither one nor the other. It doesn’t matter if they are from the industry. Alejandro Soler or they are from the industry that always supports them” was one of the sentences that could be heard after the meeting. Another authoritative voice of Alicante socialism said, “What Ximo Puig has done surprises no one, but the fact that he is preparing himself for the next congress, because the way he treats Alicante is really embarrassing.”

The irritation was evident. Also with the nuance that it rains, rains. With the preparations in March, anger has already manifested itself. Ready for Valencia Cortes For the state, Puig selected four independents and those close to state secretary Alejandro Soler entered in seventh place. It also didn’t help that the PSPV general secretary tried to change the plan to state leadership for 23J with proposed names for Congress and the Senate, although Ferraz later sided with Soler.

Starting from these starting points, almost all sections of socialism in Alicante agree on one thing for the first time in a long time: “humiliation” against the province of Alicante. In this context, some circles explain that Puig had an “excuse” a little over a year ago. chi square Josephine Good In the Senate it was passed to Gloria Calero, the then Government delegate, and in return the woman from Alicante was appointed head of the Ministry of Innovation and Universities. The debate didn’t quite convince the provincial PSPV-PSOE, but they chose not to make excessive noise. Now, although there are no charges in the execution, there are many who do not hide their anger. “He always kept his balance, but now Alicante doesn’t care,” commented another prominent socialist militant.

It felt just as bad that none of the cadres filled in the executive branch went to the provinces. The Deputy Secretary General has been vacant since then. manolo mata He resigned from the political front to continue his career as a lawyer and to take on the defense of the main defendant in the Azud case. Definately replacing Calero, Bernabé will share a hierarchical level with executive spokesperson Ana Domínguez, who was appointed deputy general secretary at the last congress. Artemi Rallo also takes office as Minister of Rights and Freedoms, and Lara Romero as Minister of Sports.

Indeed, with this step, Bernabé’s organic position is strengthened at a particularly sensitive moment for the PSPV as it loses the Generalitat Government and faces a congress in the medium term that must decide whether Puig will run in the next regional elections or be replaced by another leader. Thus, the number of Government delegates is growing in the hypothetical race for Puig’s successor, who has been his mentor and the key political element in his career in recent years. In this dispersed space without open family features, namely ximismo, Bernabé’s figure rises with a view to the future.

He is from a socialist family (his brother was also a state delegate. Rodriguez Zapatero), Pilar Bernabé was a councilor in Valencia along with Sandra Gómez, and this connects her perfectly with the ruling group in the party, which was the so-called Pelayo generation (the headquarters of the party’s youth) and is now one of Puig’s pillars.

Bernabé’s date takes place the day after the wedding. general elections, let’s assume that Victory for Pedro Sánchez (at least spiritual), that many polls consider evicted. Bernabé is currently the main institutional representative of socialism in the Valencian Community.

Bernabé’s position was also strengthened as the Socialists lost the presidency of the Valencian Provincial Council, a position sought by Carlos Fernández Bielsa, the provincial leader and mayor of Mislata, one of the key figures on the board of directors for the PSPV’s future.

Pedro Sánchez gives Ximo Puig a stability extension

Ximo Puig will have a blue summer. The anticipation of the socialist leadership before the elections to be held last Sunday was a lively summer in preparation for a period of congresses in a pre-war climate, but the result nevertheless changes the framework. internal state Valencian Socialism, it moves through the groundwater, enters a state of lethargy and gives Puig a margin to think about the future. organic peace Otherwise it will be a surprise. In the current context, complex government formation or even re-election, any movement that destabilizes one of the socialist voting warehouses like the Valencian Community will not have the protection or understanding of socialists. Ferraz. And so it’s hard to imagine destabilizing movements taking place.

After Sunday’s conclusion, the federal congress of the Socialists won’t be until 2024 at the earliest. re-election This means that an extraordinary PSPV convention cannot happen before the second half of 2024. If Sánchez installs a Manager (same with or without re-election), the margin could be larger and wait until the regular convention, which will take place in 2025.
