The consequences of 28M shook the left considerably after leaving the Palau de la Generalitat. First, there was a state of shock due to the PP-Vox agreement that ousted Botànic and brought Carlos Mazón to the presidency, and then confusion that could reshape the political projects of PSPV and Compromís. After the summer the opposition’s work focused on attacking the weak points of the new Consell and, above all, Vox.
The image of PSPV and Compromís behind the same banner after the latest sexist violence killings is the only time when two left-wing formations went hand in hand against Consell. Socialists and Valencians insist that Botànic is a government pact, not an opposition pact.
Sources from left-wing formations say, “We have been governing the country together for eight years, but now each of them is working on their own opposition project.” The election of the PP’s Compromí deputy, Maria Josep Amigó, thanks to her vote for Mesa de las Corts over socialist Josefina Bueno, was perhaps the biggest proof that the agreement signed in 2015 and reissued in 2019 had already passed.
PSPV and Comprom’s accusations against the Government are separate, although along similar lines. During these 100 days, the socialists concentrated on Consell’s “bankruptcy, incompetence and lack of projects”. They criticize the tax donation to 350 million to 22 thousand 600 rich people required by the abolition of the Inheritance and Gift Tax, regret that it has a “far right-leaning” position that denies sexist violence, and criticize the breakdown of the consensus. In language policy.
The diagnosis is similar in Compromís. They speak of “the worst start to the school year in recent years”, regret that taxes are being “donated” to those who need it least, and that one part of the Government is denying sexist violence while the other part is “making up for it”. ” Likewise, they recall reporting Vicente Barrera and José Antonio Rovira to Antifraud on the grounds that they were corporate executives after serving as vice president and Minister of Education, respectively.
It’s a bitter pill
But the hundred days also became for PSPV and Comprom an example of the principle that power wears out those who do not have it in the first place. And losing the Generalitat was a hard pill to swallow, changing internal dynamics and could reshape the two parties’ projects.
It was Rebeca Torró, as trustee, who assumed the leading voice in PSPV ahead of Consell. Pilar Bernabé, delegate of the Government of the Valencian Community, also came to the fore as the new deputy secretary general for education. The future of Ximo Puig is the elephant in the room, but all organic life depends on whether Pedro Sánchez will succeed in his mission and what impact the formation of the Government may have on the internal balances.
New in Compromís was the arrival of Joan Baldoví in Las Corts after 11 years in Congress. The Sueca leader assumed leadership of the coalition, which was not immune from turbulence. While the initiative continues outside the coalition bodies due to the appointment of Enric Morera (Més) to the senatorship, resignations continue due to disagreements with the leadership. In the background, Sumar’s accession, how to restructure the area left out of the Cortes by the EU and Podem, and the judicial process affecting Mónica Oltra.
