In this regard, he stated that they both share the demand for states to have more organic weight, adding that “this view does not belong to Morant.” “But I have a relationship of love and affection for Morant,” he explained, noting that this “will be the process that will determine whether there will be a further deal with a candidate.”

For this reason, although he admitted that the negotiations are continuing, he stated that he avoided talking about this issue and said, “An important issue in the negotiations is that these are not talked about.” These are being kept secret, and as stated, “as a result of the process and what we feel,” these conversations may come to fruition in a sense, being another way for Soler to not close the doors.

However, Soler rejected this possibility and stated that the PSOE “showed its neutrality in this process” and that there were no worthy ministers while the primaries were going on, on the contrary, we were all “grassroots militants”.
