Absolute normality. That’s what the PSOE has been trying to stage this Tuesday, after it was made public the night before that Francesc Sanguino would submit his resignation as city spokesman after heavy meetings by the Valencian socialists’ leadership on the one hand. with Sanguino himself and, on the other hand, former senator Ángel Franco and Miguel Millana, local secretary of the Alicante Socialists. Some tension-filled meetings where Francesc Sanguino tried to force his resignation not only from his position as spokesman, but also from his position as member of parliament, eventually achieved what was important to them: getting him to agree to leave him number one. It belongs to the municipal group. With this, PSOE tried to close the dispute with Sanguino. A goal he didn’t reach on Tuesday, at least. The bipartisan governing Alicante City Council, formed by both Sanguino himself and the PP and Cs, plunged into the crisis of the socialists and prolonged the suffering a little longer.
Throughout the day from the party, they tried to think about tackling what they understood as a “specific crisis” that was deemed closed with Sanguino’s withdrawal from the number one socialist municipal group and election of transition spokesman, now gaining more power when Sanguino became a joint mayor and the local administrator decided. a possible position for Trini Amorós, deputy spokesperson, or Miguel Millana, local secretary of the PSOE in Alicante. the name of the successor. Overcoming this hurdle, they set out on the basis that the main goal was to solve the structural problem of the Socialists in the state capital: even if it was to work for a strong leadership in the face of the municipal elections to be held in May next year. the name of the person managing the list – Ana Barceló, trustee of the Cortes; Being the Minister of Innovation Josefina Bueno; get another white blackbird – it won’t be known until after summer at the earliest.
However, almost 24 hours after Sanguino agreed to submit his resignation as city spokesman, there was still no evidence that it had been made official, thus giving rise to a thousand and one speculations. Lace to the socialists was given at noon by bipartisanship, which Sanguino had requested by registration and expedited approval of what opened the thunder last Friday: he approved the dismissal of councilors Trini Amorós and Miguel Millana. dismissal of councils and investment companies, as well as three industry-related advisers, all led by former senator Ángel Franco. Despite the document signed on Monday by seven of the nine socialist councilors on Alicante City Council, the government team only needed four days to accept Sanguino’s request – all except Sanguino and the only mayor standing next to him, Lara López – said municipal spokespersons were “unilateral”. they rejected his decision and asked him to withdraw his writings, something he clearly did not do. The only bullet left by the Francoists is to wait until there is a new person at the spokesperson and take back what was approved by another batch of requests.
Yes, Trini Amorós remains as deputy spokesperson, despite being one of Sanguino’s requested layoffs. In this case, the spokesperson cannot process it and there must be a “unanimous” request from the group in accordance with what is set out in the Organic Statutes of the General Assembly, as explained by the duo who rushed to approve the changes. .
In the articles submitted by Francesc Sanguino, it was proposed to replace the representatives appointed by the socialist group on the boards of directors of companies belonging to the Alicante City Council, Mercicante and Aguas de Alicante; and at the Teatro Principal’s Entities Community General Assembly, convened by Sanguino himself instead of Trini Amorós and Miguel Millana. In the case of the local secretary of the PSOE, in Mercicante; in the deputy spokesperson, in the other two organs.
“The only thing we can approve and the request made by the three advisors on Friday is the spokesman’s own matter, because he has the authority to do so. The decree was signed – by Barcala – and at 3:00 PM they cease to be advisers of the Socialist Party,” he said. “The rest we have nothing to say, it is an internal matter of the PSOE itself. All we say and ask is that the parties start working for and for the city of Alicante,” added Manresa, who, with the crisis of the Socialists, pretended not to want any more blood. As if that wasn’t enough, he later said, “We see significant upheaval in the Socialist Party at the moment, at the national, regional and local level.”
In this context, they tried to maintain calmness and normality without entering into further arguments from the Francoist section. So much so that they visited the Albufereta beach in the afternoon after the last recorded landslides. However, the crisis was still clear. And the worst thing is that they are very critical of everything that happens in some socialist circles. They emphasize that Franco and the party are nothing more than a “steam cylinder” after all. For some, even the Sanguino is another victim after all.
