Carry out Ximo Puig’s succession in two stages, in the style of election processes held in two rounds. We now face the urgent issue, namely the election of the new general secretary of PSPV-PSOE. And find the ideal candidate to oppose the popular Carlos Mazón, president of the Generalitat, in three years. This is the plan of the provincial leader of the socialists in Alicante and his deputy in Congress. Alejandro Soler, is in his mind and spreads to his environment. The man from Elche thinks that this approach could increase his chances of reaching an agreement with Minister Diana Morant, Ferraz’s favorite option and also supported by the “ximist” segment.
It is not yet known how the distribution will turn out, considering that there is a possible third candidate in this race, Valencia state leader Carlos Fernández Bielsa, within this plan prepared by Soler himself. The ideal scenario for the former mayor of Elche, at least today general secretary It was thought that Morant would focus more on his possible candidacy in the regional elections to be held in 2027. It should not be forgotten that everything shows that the last word belongs to Pedro. Sánchez and the Federal Committee meeting on Galician territory this weekend, with the participation of all relevant parties, should serve to clarify the unknowns, he said.
However, negotiations for an agreement that would prevent this PSPV celebrates primaries Choosing their new general secretary may have a different outcome than Soler thinks. For example, the outcome could be Morant replacing Puig, who is the option with the most options since he has the support of Ferraz. Here we need to see how far the leader of Alicante is willing to go, with many eyes on the Organizing Secretary, a key position in the party’s control. In this context, it should be noted that most segments of Alicante socialism prefer preliminary voting between two or more candidates, rather than betting on agreements that will turn the coming years into a minefield. These voices also criticize that the first moves of PSPV’s infighting took place within the Government, with state leaders moving their chips to place their supporters in state sub-delegations. In the Alicante case, Soler placed his trusted man, Juan Antonio Nieves from Elche, in place of “ximista” Carlos Sánchez Heras.
Soler knows he’s not him Ferraz’s favorite He will be the new general secretary and will rank behind Morant in the eyes of Pedro Sánchez, although he himself recalls being one of the first to support the current head of Government when he was not on the rise within the PSOE. The PSPV administration has been postponed for the second time in a row and will be held next Monday if there is no change by then. These delays are interpreted as a way to try to buy time in the search for consensus, an area in which Soler wants to move.
It’s clear that Soler, from Elche’s former mayor’s circle, feels strongly in the race to replace Puig. This is one of the assets he used in his negotiation with Ferraz. It is better to postpone the selection of the Generalitat candidate and reach an agreement on the PSPV General Secretariat than to subject Morant to a vote in which he could lose; Pedro Sánchez, would be the speech of the man from Elche in Madrid. Soler also argues that after his narrow victory against Toni Francés, mayor of Alcoy, a “ximista” and therefore official candidate, a lot of work has been done for the integrity of the province in the last two years and that this is now being prevented. It prevented him from backing down from the race for PSPV General Secretary and withdrawing early. In this effort to bring the state together, his treatment of former senator Ángel Franco is key to a relationship that has experienced ups and downs in recent months.
Meanwhile, three possible candidates today are taking action these weeks to try to expand their spheres of influence. For example, Bielsa organized an event in Mutxamel. Soler’s circle claims that the Valencian leader has the fewest options, and his support in the province of Valencia is estimated to include around 40% of the militancy. No other alternative is currently being considered. names Pilar Bernabé or Arcadi SpainThis proposal, which appeared to be “ximist” options in the eyes of the minister, could only be considered in the event of Morant’s unexpected resignation.
