The new year always brings new resolutions and Minister of Science and Universities, Diana Morant, He won’t let even a week pass to start his own business: Increasing its presence in the Valencian Communitywith. this thursday He will make a double visit to Elda and Alcoy and will carry his ministerial portfolio.but will not be devoid of connotations The internal renewal process PSPV is going through and his name is one of the most repeated successful names. Ximo Puig.
A senior official’s agenda for when and where to go is a political decision. This Thursday, Morant will visit two technology centers for footwear in Elda and Alcoi, the first of which is Inescop; and in the textile field, Aitext ranks second. To this will be added in the afternoon two typical Christmas events of the city of Alcoya; for example, the visit to Tirisiti, which represents the nativity scene, and the burrata, a procession celebrated in front of the Three Wise Men. Next day.
The day is the squaring of the circle on the agenda of the head of Science and Universities. It is increasing its presence in the Valencian Community – something that has been set as a target – and it is doing this through the following issues: Those within their jurisdiction with the Government who have influence on the Valencian agendaHe takes part as a representative of the central executive at events with a regular institutional presence, and in addition, he will be accompanied by the mayors and two leaders who have some influence in the two largest towns of the province of Alicante, governed by PSPV. Party.
Ruben Alfaro Mayor Elda, He is considered a minor baron with weight within the Federation and a person close to it. Alejandro SolerHe is the provincial secretary of Alicante and one of those mentioned as candidates for the leadership of the party. In his name, Mayor alcoy is Toni FrenchClose Ximo Puigand Soler’s opponent in 2019. These are two movements aimed at uniting those who point to Morant’s candidacy as the best option to replace Puig at the head of the party.
His name is one of the most repeated, and the fact that he intensifies his agenda in the Valencian Community with the extraordinary congress approaching on the calendar further fuels the rumors. M.Even though it was an institutional visit as a minister, he was present alongside two leaders representing two different sensitivities within the PSPV. But the former mayor of Gandia continues without taking a step forward or announcing his intention to lead the party.
back to dates
And he’s not expected to do so until Congress formally convenes at the earliest. Puig explained that it will be celebrated in the first quarter of the year and that the date that gains the most strength is the 24th and 25th, which is the last weekend of February when March is excluded due to Magdalena and Las Fallas. festivities; But both the current administration and the National Committee need to set a date and start implementing deadlines.
Calling elections in Galicia may disrupt plans somewhat. Yesterday the PSPV leader admitted that the socialists will analyze the dates and decide, trying not to influence the electoral future of the formation. Succeeding Xunta would be a boost for Pedro Sánchez and the PSOE, and they want to move forward hand in hand with Ferraz in this process, although the Galician elections and the renewal of the Valencian federation are “two different hemispheres”.
Because the calendar includes not only the celebration of the congress where the new secretary general will be approved, but also the two-day double round of voting. If there is more than one candidate to lead the party and none of them can secure more than 50% support in the first appointment. Until that date, a margin should also be left for promotions and campaigns.
These deadlines will need to be decided soon as different sections of the party take positions. Although the agenda is a political decision and Morant has decided to intensify his presence in the Valencian Community before or despite the rumors of his candidacy, no one takes action until an official call comes.
