These days ahead are pivotal for every side as campaigns push for stronger, clearer results. The final six days may decide trust, turnout, and momentum. On the left, the aim is to shape a refreshed Botànic; for the PP, the objective is one last push to tilt the balance in their favor.
In Valencia, the PSPV gathers at the event dubbed “Valencianizing the Votes,” trying to gain an edge that, as PSPV chair and candidate Ximo Puig noted, would renew the Botànic agreement. For the Consell president, the focus remains on a second legislature underpinned by solid economic and social indicators that bolster confidence in the path forward. If turnout rises and more citizens see progress as essential to returning to government, the chances improve.
A recent Invest Group survey for Iberian media in the Community of Valencia suggests Compromise must deliver again. The same poll points to rising enthusiasm to vote for the coalition this week, especially with leadership from Joan Baldoví. Co-spokesperson Águeda Micó reflected on the election results yesterday, noting that Compromís exceeded expectations in the last cycle and hinting that a similar outcome could recur this year.
Botànic deepens its assessment amid a pandemic-era mission
Héctor Illueca, a candidate from Unides Podem and the vice president of the Consell, notes that six to seven seats predicted for him reinforce a bullish trend within the EUPV and allied groups. He argues that the final days must center on convincing undecided voters, a point echoed by Mamen Peris, the Generalitat candidate for Ciudadanos.
According to the survey, parties failing to surpass a 5 percent threshold in the Valencian Community would be excluded from the Cortes. Peris, however, says he cannot fully grasp the street reality that will decide the government and remains hopeful that a “useful vote” can help shape a viable Consell.
Miguel Barrachina of the PP describes a sense of measured satisfaction with the poll results, acknowledging momentum in the arena that could signal a meaningful trend shift for 28M. He cautions that outcomes may prove modest, even as the data hints at changes in three key states and highlights health as a central concern driving the PP’s message. The polling suggests increased mobilization could help the left, but Barrachina argues there is no fear and notes Puig aims to keep a lower public profile.
Puig expresses confidence in a more Valenciana-centered decision process
Ximo Puig remains optimistic following Invest Group findings for Prensa Ibérica in the Community of Valencia. He argues that the decision-making path for the elections will lean more toward Valencia’s interests because economic and social indicators support that view. He contends that critiques of the right emphasize corruption, cuts, and unemployment, framing a pathway to a clear victory. Puig asserts there is every reason to believe the left will prevail, provided mobilization continues and the Socialist platform retains a majority or comes close in the Valencian Community.
Barrachina cautions that results could stay modest, with change possible
The PPCV expresses cautious satisfaction with the latest polling, which suggests a broad seat range and a potential near doubling in the Cortes. Barrachina notes the arena’s dynamics could signal a momentum shift, while emphasizing that outcomes may still be modest. The study identifies three drivers: gains for the PP in three states, a shift in response to Mazón Ximo Puig, and Valencians prioritizing health as a central campaign focus. While higher mobilization could help the left, Barrachina argues Puig favors a subdued approach and remains unfazed by the polling noise.
Micó sees 2019 as a benchmark for optimism this year
Águeda Micó, Compromís’ co-spokesperson and campaign manager, weighs in on the latest poll from this newspaper, which projected 13 to 14 seats for Joan Baldoví in the Cortes. She reiterates that the ballot box remains decisive and stresses that margins of error should be considered, citing Compromís’ extraordinary performance in 2019 as a precedent. Micó believes the current political landscape is already shaped and that the coming days will be crucial for Compromís to solidify growth and push for a new government led by Baldoví, coordinating with partners to counter any rightward move and reaffirm the third Botànic.
Illueca foresees continued momentum for United We Can
Héctor Illueca, a Unides Podem candidate and second vice president of the Generalitat, views the Invest Group findings as a sign of rising momentum for United We Can. He cautions that many surveys exist, but emphasizes the expected evolution in the days ahead, according to Unides Podem’s outlook. Illueca believes the Podemos‑EUPV coalition will repeat 2019 results and may even improve. He notes daily growth in voter support and anticipates a positive outcome as undecided voters are persuaded in the final stretch.
Peris stresses that abstention could decide the outcome
Mamen Peris, the citizen candidate for the Generalitat, remains wary of the poll results, pointing out that abstention stays high. He notes that 28M results will hinge on a narrow margin of votes, leaving the outcome open. Peris argues that the street reality does not fully match the survey, though there is a modest uptick. He also highlights that Ciudadanos’ own polls indicate the party could be decisive in shaping outcomes and possible alliances, suggesting that ballots for Ciudadanos may be the most useful votes for forming a government in Consell.
