New course, new life. Former Minister of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society and Top of PSPV-PSOE list for Alicante For the regional elections over the past 28 months, Josefina Bueno has returned to her post as Professor of French Philology at the University of Alicante. It does this after applying for compliance and re-entry into the academic institution at the Valencian Courts. Bueno will remain a member of the socialist ranks and for now holds the record as an MP. Another point is that this move is interpreted as the first step to give up the regional parliamentary position in the short term. “After eight years of intense political activity and a period of reflection, I now think I am more useful in carrying out my professional activity, and that’s why I wanted to rejoin the university,” the former minister told this newspaper.
His entry into politics was hand in hand with the former head of the Generalitat. Ximo Puig. Thus, he became the general director of the University, Research and Science. By then, Josefina Bueno had had a long career as a permanent professor of French Philology at the University of Alicante, where she held various management positions, including vice-chancellor for University Expansion. He was then appointed regional senator to coincide with the premiere of the second Botànic, until, with the government crisis promoted by Puig in May last year, he replaced Carolina Pascual of Elche in the only Ministry based in Alicante. She topped the regional list of the state of Alicante in the elections held on 28 May.
Actually, Josefina Bueno’s name was the one suggested by her. PSPV-PSOEcoincides with the constitution of the Autonomous Assembly, with former Minister of Justice Gabriela Bravo serving as the representative of the Socialists in the Executive Board of the Valencian Parliament. However, the agreement between PP and Compromís meant that the UA professor was excluded. This position finally went to the candidate of the Valencian formation, Maria Josep Amigó. As a “consolation prize”, Bueno was given the chairmanship of the European Affairs Commission at the Cortes, and this commission is certainly not one of the most active.
Therefore, many voices in socialist circles in the province see the former minister’s decision as plausible, in what they interpret as a “systematic ninguneo” against Alicante following the 28M fiasco that led to the PP and Vox taking over the autonomous Government. It is not clear that the person who promoted the candidacy in May is not given more space in the Cortes. A “noneo” already denouncing some of Alicante’s socialism following the PSPV-PSOE’s execution at the end of July, when Ximo Puig and Rocío Briones were confirmed as regional senators and Alicante was not represented. Thus, the situation that began a little over a year ago continued with the opening of the square. Josephine Good In the Senate it had passed to Gloria Calero, the then-Government delegate, but her appointment as a member of parliament at the time served to defuse criticism. It is a disturbing situation, just as none of the positions filled in the administration in July belong to the province.
Josefina Bueno’s resignation in the district parliament, if it does happen, would mean that the list would continue, replacing him with the nomination number twelve, José Antonio Díaz, who has always been identified with parliament. The circle of Eva Montesinos, the former mayor of Alicante, and took fifth place in the ranking. 23J generals. Because of this, he remained in court and failed to get a criminal record in the Lower House.
