Born in Alicante, the first candidate from the Generalitat to pursue this state speaks with a clear purpose: to shift the trajectory of the Valencian Community and regain leadership after years of drift caused by the policies of the Puig-Sánchez duo. The impetus for change originates from Alicante, a province ready to reshape the region’s future.
The Valencian Community can no longer tolerate Sánchez’s pattern of underinvestment. It sits last in General Government Budgets, faces chronic underfunding, water management challenges, stalled transfers, and financial strain. Puig’s stance remains passive, arms folded, while critical groups—farmers, small businesses, self-employed professionals, youth, the tourism sector, and the coastline threatened by new regulations—need a defender. The current approach appears to prioritize a political posture over real, tangible support for local communities.
Puig, serving as Sánchez’s economic envoy in the Community, has not secured water resources for eight years and presided over infrastructure that supports thousands of jobs. Three weeks before elections, he announces tax relief measures, yet desalinated water remains costly, environmentally burdensome, and not a sustainable long-term solution.
Not only has Puig struggled as a manager, but his tenure also coincides with Spain’s highest deficit and debt levels. Despite raising more than 2,000 million euros, inflation persists, eroding purchasing power and worsening the financial outlook. The time has come for a change that unlocks growth for the entire province and beyond. A government program that reduces taxes while strengthening public services is within reach, and it is a proven pathway to progress.
The campaign emphasizes an ambitious plan to curb the financial burden and stimulate the economy, with a commitment to a substantial tax cut across the Community. Eighty percent of taxpayers would benefit from lower rates, translating into savings surpassing 1,750 million euros. The proposed program lays out a comprehensive agenda for the next 28 months, incorporating more than two thousand proposals that address social and economic needs as identified by organizations, groups, companies, professionals, and the self-employed who participated in the planning process.
In a candid overview, the electoral program highlights several concrete commitments designed to improve daily life. There is a pledge to protect waiting times for diagnostic and surgical procedures, ensuring that at least 30 percent of the annual budget supports healthcare. The goal is to avoid the chaos and strain seen in emergency care and to prevent a centralization of critical services that could undermine patient outcomes. Emergency care must be accessible and responsive in local facilities rather than being concentrated in distant centers.
Education will be made more accessible, with early childhood education from age three and under provided free for all families. Parents will retain freedom to choose the educational path that best suits their children, reinforcing the community’s diversity of schooling options.
The plan also targets bureaucratic waste by reducing political interference and increasing efficiency in the public sector. Streamlining administration will help attract investment and improve services for citizens and businesses alike. Infrastructure projects will be prioritized to prevent lost opportunities and to modernize the region.
There is a commitment to reinforce protections for vulnerable groups, including a focus on women’s safety and economic participation. A comprehensive program to support animal welfare, with affordable, voluntary fees and robust care measures, is also proposed. The plan addresses elder care with improved management, ensuring adequate services, housing, and day-care facilities, along with expanding the number of day-care centers. An initiative to eliminate long waiting lists for addiction treatment is included as well.
Housing policy will be transparent and pragmatic. The current rhetoric about social housing will be backed by tangible results, including the construction of thousands of new homes, lower housing taxes, and real benefits for young people under 35. Economic and financial incentives will be introduced to encourage home buying and renting, promoting a healthier and more dynamic real estate market.
The overarching aim is to build a competitive, modern Community that acts as a true land of opportunity. The plan outlines steps to increase economic growth, reduce taxes, and mobilize the economy. It places a strong emphasis on social policy and practical solutions to water management through technical rigor and dialogue. Voters deserve a change that reflects their needs and delivers measurable results for the state.
