The so-called reconstruction tour stopped in Alicante this Friday afternoon as part of a broader movement gaining attention across Spain. After the initial gathering in Zaragoza, the second stop took place at the Casino of the provincial capital, where Organization and Corporate Action Secretary Carlos Perez-Nievas and Valencian Community coordinator Maria Muñoz spoke before a large audience. Their aim was to outline the strategies the liberal coalition plans to use to remain influential on the political map following a period of reduced momentum across positions, members, and organizations in the party.
Critics did not appear at the Alicante event planning session. Ines Arrimadas led the Cs delegation, and by late August the Alicante leadership, together with Deputy Mayor Mari Carmen Sánchez and Provincial Council spokesperson Javier Gutiérrez, had joined calls for the national leader’s resignation. When asked about the issue, Perez-Nievas and Muñoz stated that they spoke with Sánchez about the matter two weeks earlier and had cautioned that the proposal would not be accepted. They said developments would be watched from the sidelines while the situation was being resolved, and they asserted that timely intervention had been made to stabilize the situation.
Cs dome in the province joins the revolt against Arrimadas
From the autonomous Cs leadership in the province, there is ongoing work with a growing group of volunteers and supporters, roughly two hundred people contributing through digital channels to reorganize the party. A coordinated plan is being prepared for submission to Madrid, with Begona Villacis, the deputy mayor of Madrid, serving as a recognizable national figure and overseeing key coordination tasks at the national level. The project also has two regional coordinators, Valencia’s Maria Muñoz and Balearic Patricia Guash. Party sources reassure that internal surveys show better prospects in these two regions for achieving stronger results in elections the following year.
The team behind the re-foundation of Cs emphasizes sustained on-the-ground work, aiming to address genuine public concerns and to offer credible, compelling alternatives within the party’s framework. The effort seeks to realign power dynamics that have been described as bipartisan, rooted in the long-standing interaction between the PSOE and the Partido Popular. The process includes gathering ideas, attracting talent, and listening to officials and members alike. The initiative travels across the country to ensure that no ideas go unheard, according to Maria Muñoz, who also criticizes Botànic’s reforms. The reform agenda mentioned during the week’s debate included tax policy changes proposed by the Generalitat’s leadership as a political lever in the general policy discussions, underscoring how regional policy decisions influence electoral strategies.
