Consell’s vice president Monica Oltra has become a recurring focal point in the ongoing judicial landscape. The latest development arrived this Friday after a long plenary session during which a nine to one majority answered questions posed to the Compromís leader. The Supreme Court of Justice is expected to assign jurisdiction to the highest office regarding allegations tied to the Department of Inclusive Policies. The case centers on alleged abuse of a minor in care, a charge connected to her former husband’s conviction. Meanwhile, the right-wing bloc continues its strategy to erode confidence in Oltra in an effort to push her from office.
The public prosecutor has raised potential charges against the vice president that include lying, abandonment of minors, and neglect of duty to prosecute crimes. Facing these accusations, Oltra has offered statements indicating a willingness to engage with the process. She acknowledged that the prosecutor’s report demands careful review and suggested that even if thirteen individuals testified, their testimonies must be weighed against the facts and the law. She emphasized that public trust hinges on transparency and accountability, noting that the country cannot permit a retreat into silence when truth is scarce or contested. The vice president argued that the defense of democratic principles is at stake and that the moment calls for a measured response rather than a hasty political reaction.

Concurrently, the People’s Party has renewed its position by bringing Oltra back into the spotlight with new allegations over three possible crimes cited by the prosecution. The party also points to Ximo Puig, who heads the Generalitat, suggesting that his actions are part of a strategy to undermine the Botànic coalition government. The PP argues that Oltra should acknowledge her responsibilities rather than frame herself as a victim. Elena Bastidas, a deputy spokesperson for the Popular Group at Cortes and the party’s deputy secretary for Social Policy, stated that Oltra must proceed with accountability. She asserted that the true victim is the minor involved and urged a clear, transparent reckoning with the facts. Regarding Puig, Bastidas maintained that the Valencia leader must prioritize the interests of Valencians over personal political considerations, insisting that inaction would amount to complicity in the ongoing case. Oltra’s supporters have framed the discourse as a test of political integrity in a moment of intense scrutiny. This week has underscored the depth of distrust among rival factions and the enduring pressure on the Botànic government to respond decisively to legal questions that touch on governance and public trust. The language from both sides reflects a broader debate about accountability, the role of the judiciary in political life, and the responsibilities that come with leadership in a time of crisis. The situation continues to unfold in a political environment where every statement is amplified by media coverage, and every procedural step has potential electoral consequences. The stakes are high, and the questions being asked go beyond individual careers to the functioning of the public institutions that serve the Valencian community. In this climate, Oltra’s legal and political fate may hinge on how convincingly the administration can demonstrate its commitment to due process, rule of law, and the protection of vulnerable individuals. The public will be watching how information is handled, how charges are pursued, and how the government adapts its strategy to maintain stability while addressing legitimate concerns raised by both the prosecution and political opponents.
