The countdown has begun on PSPV. He puts the ampersand at five days and a few hours. The week after the break will not be quiet for the Valencian federation, which faces a busy period until the first of the milestones that will lead to an extraordinary congress that will elect Ximo Puig’s successor. If the celebration of the conclave is the summit, the ruler who must determine the date and place is the arrival at base camp. And how (and with whom) this is achieved can mark the definitive path to ascension.
For now, the first unknown was clarified yesterday, and the execution was planned to be postponed last Friday to “adjust the timetable and reach agreements.” These have not yet arrived, and they do not appear to be any closer than on Epiphany Eve, but the meeting will take place next Monday, January 15, seven days after the original scheduled date. This is expected to be decisive as it will result in the call of the National Committee and the proposed day for the extraordinary congress. For practical purposes, it’s a shot into the air in a consecutive race.
We want to achieve this by confronting the candidates and making the support clear. For this reason, party sources state that an intense week of negotiations is expected. When the congressional process convenes, candidates for the party leadership (mostly three of them: Carlos Fernández Bielsa, Alejandro Soler and Diana Morant) may announce their own candidacies, making it difficult to reach an agreement that avoids primaries, which is the main goal of the current convention. .
It is precisely the current regional leadership (which can now be grouped around the Minister of Science and Universities), called Ximism, that has placed most emphasis on these negotiations and the search for agreement with the other two education sectors. With this in mind, they rely on their “own discretion”. It is one of the most repeated words that different sources close to these speeches refer to with the confidence that they can move forward and a “harmony” congress will be formed around a single candidate.

However, sources from the other two segments deny these previous negotiations and do not see the path to an agreement that easy. Moreover, they point out that if it is the official sector that speaks most about reaching an agreement, this is a sign of organic weakness in the face of a possible vote by the militants. In this case, Morant compared to the other two candidates. However, none of the three confirmed their intention to take a step forward; However, the secretary general of the province of Alicante has so far expressed the most willingness, although “ximism” desires to reach an agreement with the mediation of Ferraz.
Therefore, next week is expected to be busy. The formal convening of the conclave can expedite decisions and enable further action due to tight deadlines. In fact, just as there is 60 days in ordinary cases, there is no minimum period between the call and the celebration in extraordinary situations. Of course, a number of minimum requirements must be met for a possible double-round primary, such as leaving two weekends free, a period of time to present candidates, a period of time to gather endorsements, and a period of time to campaign.
Since the execution will be held on January 15, the National Committee is expected to meet on Saturday, January 27, as 10 days will pass for the celebration. From there, the calendar represents the first negotiating stone in which the Valencian federation must take Ferraz’s opinion into account. The federal government must verify the date and deadlines. Yesterday, PSOE Organizing Secretary Santos Cerdán stated that the PSPV congress will be in the “first quarter” of 2024.
This would have been nearly impossible if the execution had been postponed until the end of next week. In fact, the calendar is squeezed by a month of March that is thought to be virtually non-functional, with festivals alternating between Magdalena, Fallas and Holy Week.
