The new “second number” of the Valencian Government is a young woman from Crevillent, committed to politics, distinguished by her ability to work, willingness to dialogue, and “with a very structured mind” as an engineer by training. “.
The youngest member of the Valencian Government – turning 32 this Saturday – joins Consell del Botànic in the final chamber of the legislature, replacing Mónica Oltra. fake background in city administrationIn the second step of the Generalitat and parliamentarism.
This proud politician from the south of the Valencian Community, despite his youth, was at the top of the Compromís list for the Alicante Congress in 2011 at the age of 21, and although he did not get a seat that year, he began to break hands in politics as a councilor on the City Council of his native Crevillent until 2015.
It was after that year’s regional elections that upset the Generalitat, thanks to an agreement between left-wing parties that evacuated the PP two decades later, when he received the call from Minister Manuel Alcaraz to participate in the launch of a new system. The Valencian Government’s transparency portfolio.
With Alcaraz being the “political father”, he was managing director of Transparency and Participation in the newly formed Ministry during Botànic’s first legislature (2015-2019), promoted as a symbol of the anti-corruption that marked Valencia in previous years. The community allowed Consel to learn ins and outs and accumulate experience now considered for his selection.
Aitana Mas was surprised to receive 2,407 support in the primaries, where Compromís presented herself as the “voice of the south” and called to select candidates for the 2019 regional elections, where Alicante regions demanded their needs, 1,984 of the Economy Minister Rafa Climent, who put him at the top of the Alicante list. in front of.
This “number one” condition for the Alicante candidacy meant that, when he came to Parliament, he was appointed deputy spokesperson for the Compromís parliamentary group, for which he had been dealing with and responsible for Treasury-related matters during those three years. tribune to defend the regional budget.
When Fran Ferri resigned from his post as Síndic de Compromís in the Valencian Parliament last December, he showed a willingness to replace him because, as he put it, he presented himself in the primaries to lead a political project, and anyone entering politics “lead a group”, elected although the person eventually became Papi Robles.
Inside Compromís, it is part of the Poble Valencià Initiative, Mónica Oltra’s party, and has been spokesperson with Alberto Ibáñez since the congress last February. unblocking the organic part of the coalition.
Oltra’s trusted person, to whom she can once again transfer her responsibilities in Consell, has unanimously agreed that all parties of the Compromís coalition should take over if legal action against the management of Conselleria in the case of abuse by her ward ex-husband is filed before the end of the legislative term.
Aitana Mas’s entry into the Valencian Executive also implies that three of Compromis’s four portfolios in Consell are led by people from Alicante, a state where the coalition has traditionally had less electoral support (as it was in past regional elections). the fifth most voted power).
Her last motherhood—she became a mother ten months ago—raised doubts when deciding whether to accept the political establishment’s proposal when she was abroad on a family trip. The project of reconciliation prompted him to say yes.
Characterized by a low-pitched speech that led to her attributing a lower political profile than her other party colleagues, Aitana Mas defended herself in the primaries that obstacles should not be and should not be crossed, and she acted as such. she takes on the most important responsibility of her political career.
Consell changes this legislature: 2 vice presidents and 5 ministries
The two vice-presidents and five Departments of the Valencian Government, comprising a total of twelve portfolios, replaced the head of this legislature due to the resignation of Mónica Oltra last week, the restructuring undertaken by Ximo Puig in May and resignation at Podem in September.

agree
The resignation of Consell Spokesperson and Minister for Equality and Inclusive Policies, Monica Oltra, on June 21, after allegedly covering up the sexual abuse of her custodial ex-husband, is a head change in the main portfolio managed by Compromís.
Thus, the former deputy spokesman for the Compromís group at Les Corts Aitana Mas, from this Thursday, became the new “second number” of the Valencian Government, responsible for all the responsibilities Oltra has carried out over the past seven years.
The other Comprom portfolio that has changed the face of this legislature is the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, which it has chaired since 2015 and has Vicent Marzà, who last month was decisive this year to focus on the work of the party.

Regarding the other two Ministries of this formation, the Ministry of Economy has been in the hands of Rafael Climent since Botànic’s first legislature, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Ecological Transition has been headed by Mireia Molla since 2019.
PSPV-PSOE
Marzà’s resignation was used by Generalitat President Ximo Puig to change the face of four of the six divisions that led the socialists, with Manolo Mata resigning as Socialist Síndic at Les Corts to focus on his professional activities. It justified the need to update the political project launched in 2015 and “restart” the Valencian Community.
Thus, the Ministry of Health ceased to be run by Ana Barceló, a socialist trustee in Les Corts, and was replaced by doctor Miguel Mínguez; Vicen Soler, who took over the post at the Ministry of Finance and Public Works from Arcadi Spain, the then Minister of Public Works, replaced this portfolio with Rebeca Torró, the former regional secretary of the Economy.
The fourth Consselleria, appointed by the socialists who had been replaced, was Innovation and Universities, where Carolina Pascual left Consell and was replaced by the now regional senator Josefina Bueno. Delegate of the Gloria Calero Government.
