The collapse of Ciudadanos, which caused the orange formation in Andalusia to disappear from the Andalusian Parliament, must have had consequences beyond the immediate resignation of Juan Marín. This is how mayors, MPs and representatives of all Alicante regions of the liberals view ministers towards national leadership. A significant number of these Cs members met on Sunday to follow the outcome of the Andalusian elections and demanded an extraordinary congress following the fiasco.
The last days of orange formation in Alicante are not easy. The proof of this is that last week the national leadership carried out a purge in Orihuela, dismissing critics with a motion for criticism: state coordinator Javier Gutiérrez and state secretaries of Institutional Action and Organization César Martinez and Chechu Herrero. These corporate officials of CS believe that due to the poor election results, the party is currently at a crossroads and important decisions must be made. Therefore, they want a period of internal reflection to be opened to meet the last year before the next 2023 election cycle with the best guarantees.
When asked about this issue, Julia Parra, vice-president of the Alicante Provincial Council, points out that she favors “any internal mechanism that gets us thinking, dialogue and listening”. On whether he believes resignations should happen after the collapse in Andalusia, Parra replies, “What I’m asking categorically is that we have our voices heard because that’s the only way to manage a crisis of this magnitude. I’m not going to talk about resignations for now.”
Ruth Merino, trustee of the Cs in the Valencian Parliament, also commented on Sunday’s election result: “This return to the bipartisanship of life is not good.” Merino admitted that the results were “very bad” and that his party failed to persuade the Andalusian voter.
