Until yesterday, the plan for a decisive meeting between the three contenders to lead PSPV, scheduled this afternoon at the PSOE headquarters, was put on hold. The pause was a deliberate choice by the parties to keep the negotiation process for the future management within Ferraz in Madrid, allowing time for consensus without external pressure and ensuring any agreement could be aligned with broader party priorities.
Diana Morant, Carlos Fernández Bielsa, and Alejandro Soler spent nearly ten hours inside Ferraz yesterday, with the mediation of the PSOE Organizing Secretary, Santos Cerdán. The discussions culminated in a proposal for a single candidacy, with the minister identified as the future general secretary. The prominent involvement of Ferraz in shaping the agreement drew a wave of scrutiny and criticism from observers who questioned the balance of influence among regional and national party structures.
The immediate reaction from the three PSPV officials was to cancel the planned meeting and to postpone any formal date, signaling a willingness to pursue a definitive solution at the extraordinary congress of the Valencian federation. The congress is scheduled for 22, 23, and 24 March, serving as the forum where party members would ratify the leadership direction and confirm the path forward for the federation in Valencia and its broader regional operations.
