The PSPV pressure cooker has reached boiling point. And the one who moves the deciding stone first Alejandro Soler. The general secretary of the province of Alicante announced his decision by calling the press in the socialist headquarters of Elche this Friday. According to socialist sources Soler will announce his candidacy for general secretary PSPV. Ferraz was already aware of his final decision.
The MP, who was at the Congress in the morning, completed his candidacy presentation this Thursday. He circulated throughout the day among the leading figures of socialism in the Valencian Community, who took the step this Friday. The former mayor of Elche declined to confirm this during the day. They neither confirmed nor denied those around them, which is often the first statement made in journalistic terms. And so it was. Late in the afternoon, the press team announced the call-up this Friday.
Integration with possible ministerial candidacy Diana MorantThis initiative, which started with the evaluation of the best opinion of Pedro Sánchez and Ximo Puig, is no longer possible before the national committee, which should start the congress process on Saturday.
The MP admitted in Fitur on Wednesday that contacts between the candidates have intensified in recent days. However, socialist sources assured this newspaper this Thursday that the distance between Soler and Morant’s claims is very far. They added that “inappropriate approaches” continued. Each organization’s governance models will be very different. Both had the opportunity to speak face to face at the socialist delegation’s traditional dinner in Fitur in Madrid on Wednesday night. There are no more excuses for possible errors in transferring information.
With this in mind, if there is no negotiation after the primaries are held, the party seems destined to hold primaries featuring three candidates.
Soler assured last Monday that he would convey his decision (on whether to elect the secretary general) before the national committee meets on Saturday, so the clock was particularly ticking for him.
Diana Morant has a corporate agenda in Valencia this Friday: she is closing the Artificial Intelligence chair event at the Faculty of Law. We’ll have to see if he follows the example and confirms his candidacy. What their intentions secure in their environment is was to push the single candidacy option to the end (in his head). Wait to see how the national committee operates. However, this scenario is now a thing of the past. Now the party will head to primaries if it pursues the idea of running for Ximo Puig’s successor, even if there are other candidates.
The third actor in the equation, Carlos Fernández Bielsa, leader of the state of Valencia, made his move with his team in A Coruña for renewal (something one is not prepared for unless there is an intention to run), but he later said he would wait to decide until the committee is approved.
