A tense shift inside PSPV as Soler moves to lead the Valencian federation
In Valencia, the scene around the Minister of Science and Universities, Diana Morant, unfolded with more questions than certainty. Morant extended his support to the evolving leadership conversation while keeping his own position open. He reiterated that he remains at the party’s disposal, a move that keeps all doors visible and possibilities alive. Meanwhile, Alejandro Soler, a prominent figure from Alicante, prepared to publicly announce his bid for the post of PSPV general secretary this afternoon. He emphasized that room for agreement remains, and that he is already working toward a consensus that could unify the party behind a strong shared project.
The agenda that brought Morant to Valencia was again centered on an institutional event tied to his ministry, a forum on Privacy and Digital Transformation hosted by the University of Valencia. Yet the prevailing topic was the internal state of the Valencian Socialists, with developments accelerating after Soler’s press conference on Friday, confirming his intention to lead the Valencian federation and signaling that his candidacy is indeed on the table.

Details emerged that Soler had contacted Morant after meeting with the press on Thursday night. In that exchange, Morant noted that negotiations and potential agreements remained open, underscoring his belief that there is value in pursuing a unified, robust PSPV that can carry forward a credible project. Morant described the moment as an opportunity to align multiple voices toward a single, coherent vision for the party.
With negotiations continuing, Morant acknowledged that steps had already been taken and that dialogue remains ongoing. He stressed that there is still time to shape the process and that his efforts are aimed at maximizing consensus among party members. The Alicante leader’s decision to pursue a leadership bid has changed the dynamics, yet Morant indicated a willingness to engage further and to contribute to a broad, consensus-driven path for the PSPV.

Morant argued that the party can propose a program free of factionalism, family ties, or splinter groups. He stressed the importance of unity and the need for a candidate who can deliver a credible, cohesive project. He also made clear that all party members can count on his support and that the ultimate objective remains recapturing the Generalitat. The tone he set was one of responsibility, emphasizing a collective approach over personal advantage while insisting on a clear, credible road map for the party’s future.
As the political narrative unfolds, the core question remains whether Soler’s bid will consolidate support across factions and whether Morant will align with those efforts to forge a unified leadership team. The dialogue continues, with both sides signaling openness to dialogue, a readiness to negotiate, and a commitment to a strategic path that could redefine the Valencian PSPV in the months ahead.
