dome loyalty Firm support surrounds the vice president of the Generalitat as the Alicante province moves through a telematic preselection this Wednesday, leading to face-to-face voting on Saturday. The leadership presence in mid-December, when Crevillentina formally entered the primaries, showed the close ties to the Minister for Equality and Inclusive Policies. Key figures within the coalition backing Mas include the Valencian Parliament trustee and other prominent voices in Alicante, such as the vice president who faced competition from Gerard Fullana, spokesperson for the Alicante Provincial Assembly; Maria Jose Calabuig, a representative of Joves PV; and Marina González from Elche, aligned with the Mollà faction.

One major theme Robles emphasizes is the need for balance on the party list by not restricting top chairs to men alone. With the coalition’s Valencia leadership anchored by national MP Joan Baldovi and Castellón proxy marza, the backing shown by the Cortes spokesperson signals a clear stance even while he voices limited direct power in the primaries. Crevillentina faces his strongest resistance from Fullana, while Calabuig and González are generally viewed in secondary roles within the internal race. If the spokesperson emerges victorious at the Provincial Council, a trio of male figures who oppose Robles and the other Compromís heavyweights could be left overseeing the landscape.
The absurdity of Compromís primaries: voting begins without Aitana Mas
During a plenary session on Wednesday, the Valencian Union described that recommendations from the leadership must be approved by the militancy. Robles urged common sense while still engaging with Mas on the core questions. Voters must wait until Saturday, and the results deserve respect. Robles reiterated his wish for a broadly representative list where women share leadership. He noted a turnout of about 42,000 registered voters in the primary process. The key takeaway is openness to participation and a chance for broad public input as candidates are formed. The underlying message is that effort and persistence in the campaign can translate into favorable outcomes for those who commit to the process.

The Cortes spokesperson’s response came after Mas was questioned about remarks made at a press conference following Eid al-Adha celebrations last Friday. In that moment, the vice president admitted he would feel disadvantaged if he lost the first rounds in Alicante. He offered a brief reply when pressed by journalists, saying that his position as a Consell spokesperson limited direct commentary at that time. The exchange underscored the tension between internal expectations and the public messaging expected from party leaders. Observers note that the discussion touches on broader themes of empowerment, regional representation, and the balance of power among the coalition partners. As the primary votes proceed, the landscape of Alicante politics remains highly dynamic, with strategists watching the provincial results closely to gauge how the balance of influence may shift in the weeks ahead.
