Ximo Puig speaks in Guardamar about Vega Baja as a region with its own strength
In a weekend gathering at the Virgen del Carmen Cultural Center in Torrevieja, Ximo Puig, President of Generalitat and Secretary General of PSPV-PSOE, highlighted Vega Baja as a community made up of honest, hardworking residents who deserve leaders who match those values. He underscored that the Valencian Community of the future cannot exist without recognizing what Vega Baja brings to the land, stressing that strength comes from harmony in diversity. Puig also noted that some have overlooked the region for too long, but the people of Vega Baja are clear about wanting to move forward and build on the progress already begun. No endorsement of the past should stand in the way of a shared, forward-looking future. Valenciano
Ximo Puig argues in Guardamar that Vega Baja is a more invested territory than the Generalitat
Puig urged Torrevieja’s mayoral candidate Bárbara Soler to secure a robust alternative to what he described as a failed PP project. He stated that the PP lacks a real plan for the Valencian Community and Vega Baja, characterizing its approach as dominated by insults rather than solutions. He emphasized that Vega Baja is indispensable and deserves a distinct voice capable of envisioning ahead. He reminded audiences that society needs a credible future, a concrete work plan, and cooperative teamwork among mayors and municipal leaders. Valenciano
Puig continued by contrasting his party’s response to difficult times with the PP’s approach during financial crises. He recalled moments from his term when collaboration and solidarity helped Vega Renhace emerge, emphasizing how the pandemic required shared responsibility to protect lives rather than political posturing. With inflation and rising costs, he argued, measures were taken to benefit the majority rather than looking away. Valenciano
On investments, Puig highlighted that Vega Baja has seen the largest education investment in the entire Valencian Community, surpassing what happened in the previous legislature. He reminded listeners that public health is the cornerstone of equality, promising health services that do not distinguish between第一 and second class care. The message was clear: a strong health system supports a fair society. Valenciano
Puig calls for broader collaboration with big companies in a centrist commitment
He said water issues in the region should be addressed through negotiation rather than conflicts or water wars. The socialist project is presented as a future built on cooperation. Puig also stated the aim of full employment to help young people create viable living projects, access better education, and secure reasonable housing. The vision includes an environmentally responsible society powered by renewable energy to achieve energy autonomy and sustain a robust Welfare State. Valenciano
The Torrevieja campaign also featured several local leaders, including Bárbara Soler, Ruben Ferrandiz, Caroline Grace, Manuel Ros, Carmen Sanchez, and Antonio Escudero, who are joining the broader regional candidacy. Valenciano
Puig addresses criticism
A banner opposing Puig appeared in front of the cultural center, featuring slogans such as You’ve ruined our hospital and Go and don’t come back with Tito Berni. The banner disappeared later in the evening, with some attributing its removal to concerns over hospital management and the idea of healthcare in the hands of the people. Valenciano
