The reconciliation dilemma: primaries or consensus lists

The open negotiation path in Compromís to change the regulation that determines the organization of primaries to draw up electoral lists in municipalities with large populations highlights the cities of Alicante and Elche. Discussion of a possible change in the rules of the game agreed between Més (former Blok), Initiative and Els Verds executives, there are both supporters and opponents among the different currents of Valencianism. While one bloc advocates paving the way for facilitating pacts and avoiding internal conflicts in the race to reach the starting positions, that is, to loosen the rule that forces candidates to compete in individual primaries, another faction firmly argues that primaries are primaries. an indispensable feature of the coalition. The controversy surrounding this issue, fueled by the possible candidacy of Joan Ribó in the city of Valencia, has its derivatives in the province and the main references of the coalition are making calculations and launching maneuvers showing that for accounts, internal struggles to reach or maintain corporate power quotas, considering the 2023 election.

The meeting scheduled for today Tuesday by Comprom’s executive to explore a review of the primary protocol is likely to dispel doubts if an agreement is reached. In the end, there will be no white smoke and everything will remain as it was, although not excluded, at least for now.

in the provincial capital, Natxo Bellido He won the primary elections in 2019 and, backed by militancy, reiterated on the Alicante City Council as the election poster of Reconciliation. Bellido, who is a member of Més, the majority formation within the coalition, did not comment on whether he would opt for reelection for the next term. Rafael Mas, The venture council member and spokesperson also leaves the door open to fight to top the list. His party has tripled its membership in Alicante, and within the group they value this organic muscle growth as a guarantee should the polls finally open to elect a candidate; It remains to be seen whether, as in 2019, with a primary process open to citizens or another formula that prioritizes the opinion of affiliates. However, the sources of both formations emphasize that as long as the majority is unanimous, a list negotiation outside of the primaries is a possibility that can be explored.

distribution of positions

in Elche, councilman Ester Diez (The Initiative) also stated its intention to be Comprom’s election poster in the upcoming elections. The coalition currently has two acts in the City Council, and in both cases the representatives are affiliated with Mónica Oltra’s party. In fact, in the distribution agreed in the previous elections, the first two names on the list went to the Initiative (Mireia Mollà and Antonio Díez), and the third to the independent Felip Sánchez (Gent de Compromís), who later signed the contract. Attempt -; Fourth place was Esther Díez, and the first to be allocated a representative of Mès, she remained in fifth place in the primary process open to citizens. Més sources state that the group from Elche has membership numbers similar to those of the Initiative and aims to gain corporate representation in the next elections. However, they stress that we should wait until regulation is adopted to evaluate all scenarios and make a decision. Even so, with Esther Díez topping the list and in the absence of an internal agreement, everything will depend on the threshold set by Compromís before militancy can claim whether there are primaries. Because that is precisely the key that goes through the negotiation process between the three pillars of the coalition, which is nothing more than deciding whether to change the rules in the large populated cities – Valencia, Alicante, Elche and Castellón. local assemblies have more opportunities to negotiate compromise lists, rather than being forced into primaries, which has been the usual in the last two elections.

However, in the final phase towards the cycle that will lead to elections in May 2023, the unknown should also be clarified as to whether mergers are ultimately promoted to the left in line with what PSPV-PSOE supports. Yolanda Diaz. In fact, this option is openly supported in major sectors of Unides Podem and Esquerra Unida. Also, in the latest poll by Ximo Puig’s party, it is stated that purples will not exceed the 5% threshold in the coming period and will be excluded from Cortes.

Four acts in Cortes and three vendors of the province

The Compromís coalition is currently running four actions in Cortes and Consell, elected by the Alicante constituency, three of the four Valencian ministers are from the state. How will the re-election process of candidate candidates in the 2023 elections be shaped? This is something that has yet to be announced, but in principle no changes are designed to facilitate consensus lists and draw in primaries, as negotiated for major municipalities. Will the vice-president of the consulate be measured in internal surveys, Morewith the Minister of Economy, Rafa Air Conditionerand Environment, Mireia Mullah? This is what it looks like if they all want to repeat another legislature with a seat in Valencia.
