More shaking PSPV’s internal hornet’s nest, which has already been agitated lately. Facing a decisive week within the Valencian socialists, Alejandro Soler, general secretary of the Alicante province, added further excitement yesterday in an interview in À Punt, where he called for the start of a renewal process in the party. He was wanted to be the next leader of the formation and opened the door to the current leader Ximo Puig.
Soler assured that PSPV is in a “moment of change, of transition”, where “a process with new leadership” must begin at the head of the fist and rose federation. “Internal processes are coming to define the future,” he added, in a week where ups and downs are expected, with the National Committee celebrations on Saturday and the visit of PSOE Organizing Secretary Santos Cerdán, Pedro Sánchez’s most trusted person. . .
Cerdán will be in Valencia for an event with Puig and state secretary Carlos Fernández Bielsa on Friday, and on Saturday he will travel to Alicante, where he will meet again with Soler and the former president of the Generalitat. No matter how opinionated the federal leadership is by the Alicante leader yesterday, having Ferraz’s support is an incentive for the internal process. “PSPV militants will decide the future.”
The deputy of Alicante is also one of the names most connected to Ferraz. This situation gives him a significant chance of becoming the head of the party, and this position is not ignored. Hiding his cards, he said, “I don’t need to be, but I will be at the disposal of the party.” In fact, he confirmed the bicephalus option, that is, the person leading the party was not a candidate for the Generalitat. “They don’t have to be the same person, they may or may not be,” he said. This is a possibility considered within the scope of socialist lies in which Minister Diana Morant is the leading actor of the future.
However, while Soler threatened the steps to be taken regarding his future, he spoke more clearly about Puig, which he said was entirely his “personal reflection”. In this sense, he opened the door to the leader of the PSPV by providing the situation where he leads the parliamentary group in the Cortes (of which he is the chairman of the group), is in the Senate “and at the moment it is unknown” he has more responsibilities in the future.” (Soler’s exact words) “over time difficult to maintain.” Therefore, he assured that he would make a decision “shortly.”
Called for next week either in the National Committee or in the administration -It was expected to happen yesterday but it was postponed- The name of the new Ombudsman and his deputy will be determined after the departure of Rebeca Torró and Arcadi España to the Government of Spain. By then the socialist group will operate almost functionally. It will not be due to the lack of parliamentary activity in the coming dates.
This Tuesday, the debate begins on amendments to the Generalitat Budget; Three intense days in which neither Spain nor Torró had anything to argue about. Yes, they should represent the fist and the rose at today’s ombudsman meeting, but this will be left to the other two deputies, María José Salvador and José Chulvi, until the election of the new speaker and the answers. can create.
