Major formations to the left of the PSOE continue to delve into the debate surrounding the possibility of merging their destinies in the face of the 2023 election processes. Seeking support for Yolanda Díaz on the national stage add platform. At the regional level, the strategy is similar. Podem and EUPV continue their dating Towards Compromís to try to promote a grand coalition before the next appointment with the elections. Currently, neither of the two processes has come to fruition, and so the option of signing alliances to try to expand the electoral space and gain corporate representation with it is still in the air. However, there is at least one municipality in the province that takes the lead in participating in the negotiations carried out precisely in this direction. It is Santa Pola. In this town of Baix Vinalopó, the three main progressive forces, putting socialism aside, signed a preliminary agreement to register a joint candidacy for the elections to be held on May 28, 2023. They will present their joint projects in Turkey in two months. society is something that still seems far away, both at the state and regional level.
Eight months. That’s when the Compromís, Podemos and EUPV groups sit around the same table to zoom positions and engage in dialogue in anticipation of sharing an election poster. The program is yet to be 100 percent defined, and in fact, it is not expected to close until early next year as long as it can be updated accordingly. They ensure that there is no mention of names or who will lead the list. This is something that is in the background now. According to sources close to the negotiation, it’s a melon that won’t open until each of the formations has completed their internal processes to establish leadership. What seems clear is that the leaders of their own parties did not set themselves a stone in maintaining contacts that seemed to bear fruit. In principle, local groups have the autonomy to direct these processes, but it is known that they can never be carried out without the approval of the party structures. Esteve Ruiz, regional secretary of Més, the majority formation of Compromís in Vega Baja and Baix Vinalopó, emphasizes that the time has come to present to the public a different project, a “common and more exciting” project. And in this work, they are laying the foundations of their future joint political actions, which they will initiate under the same brand umbrella. Currently, only Compromís has one representative in Santa Pola. He was close to taking a second step, but that couldn’t happen while his current partners, each joining on their own, remained outside the City Council.
Més is a training integrated into Compromís, concentrating the largest sectors unwilling to joint candidacy with Podem and EUPV for the regional elections next year. However, when the subject comes up, the phrase is always the same, it is necessary to talk about what first and then who. Giving up the brand for the next appointment with Valencia polls to come up with an alternative name that combines Mors and Alberto Garzón is a formula they often reject outright. What is clear is that until the three parties have completed their internal processes with the nomination of candidates, the accelerator will not be pressed to assess whether the Santa Pola agreement can be repeated in the Valencian Parliament.
VerdsQ Alacant seeks compromise at Compromís
The council of VerdsQ Alacant, an entity integrated into Compromís, is determined to negotiate a consensus list within the framework of the Valencian coalition in the state capital ahead of the 2023 elections. The change in primary regulations in Compromís now facilitates in municipalities the large population to agree on union lists instead of holding primary elections. Meanwhile, Podemos Alicante sent a letter to Compromís to encourage them to initiate a series of contacts with a view to possible rapprochement for the next elections.
