In Valencia, the political scene was quietly buzzing as Diana Morant, the Minister of Science and a leading candidate for the PSPV, spoke about an internal agreement reached earlier in the day. The aim, she explained, was to prevent returning to the old patterns that had kept the party in opposition for two decades. The conversation highlighted a shift toward presenting a credible alternative to the current government, with Morant emphasizing that the regional party’s path forward is grounded in unity and constructive engagement. The setting was the CSIC House of Science in Valencia, where Morant described the agreement as a turning point that aligns with a broader, progressive project supported by the community’s voters who have been patiently waiting for a change.
Diana Morant chose Rubén Alfaro, who is close to Soler, as coordinator of the campaign to run PSPV
Morant announced the sponsorship of a campaign coordination team centered on Rubén Alfaro, the mayor of Elda, a choice she described as closely aligned with the aims of Soler. The arrangement, she noted, is rooted in a shared belief that the party gains strength when collaboration among its leaders is coupled with the wholehearted involvement of its members. She explained that this trio would spearhead a broader effort to unify the party and mobilize its grassroots network. The message was clear: a sincere, honest agreement exists because the group believes in building a robust project together, one that will be refined with input from all of the party’s militancy as the process unfolds toward the congress slated for March 22, 23, and 24. The emphasis was on a campaign that welcomes every voice and uses collective energy to drive the next steps.
In outlining the strategic direction, Morant underscored that the agreement is merely the foundation. The real test will come as the militants participate actively, selecting delegates and contributing to a public presentation that culminates in a congress where the voting will occur. The intent is to ensure that the entire process carries the full force of the party’s membership and resonates with voters who expect a credible and transparent path forward.
Morant, Bielsa and Soler will hold an unofficial (and secret) meeting in Valencia this morning
The discussions in Valencia involved key figures who have shaped the campaign’s blueprint. Although described as informal, the gathering reflected an organized approach to consolidating support and planning the sequence of events that will drive the primary process. The participants agreed that the coordination must remain flexible to accommodate the evolving dynamics of the internal race, while still maintaining a clear commitment to democratic norms and the involvement of the party’s rank-and-file members. The meeting was portrayed as a step in a broader strategy to ensure cohesion among Morant, Bielsa, and Soler as the campaign progresses through the internal milestones that lead to a public congress.
There will be votes
The candidate reminded everyone that the primary campaign’s coordination would adapt to the internal process as it unfolds. Rubén Alfaro, the mayor of Elda, along with Soler, confirmed a shared approach that emphasizes transparency and ongoing dialogue with the party’s militants. A formal, secret discussion with Bielsa and Soler was confirmed to continue, reinforcing the commitment that talks and the democratic process remain in motion. The central message was that while the agreement exists, the militants themselves will choose the delegates. A public presentation would be prepared, and the congress where the actual vote happens would be endorsed by the party’s members. The overall tone was pragmatic: agreement is a starting point, not the final destination, and the real test lies in broad-based participation and accountability to the party membership.
