The prosecutor’s office letter attributed to Monica Oltra touched on a so‑called plan to shield her ex‑husband’s abuses, yet Més-Compromís did not waver in its backing of the Valencian Community’s vice president. The party signaled it would defend the firewall meant to shield the leader from political and judicial pressure, linking the Right with the far Right as part of a broader political strategy. In public remarks, the leadership framed the matter as a test of institutional integrity rather than a simple political dispute, emphasizing that the party’s stance stood firm irrespective of external pressure from opponents or media cycles.
Águeda Micó, Més’ general secretary and co-spokesperson for the Compromís coalition, echoed that approach by reframing the Attorney General’s conclusions as preliminary and pointing to indicators that appear to support the charges of lying, abandonment of minors, and neglect of duty to prosecute. When questioned by reporters, Micó argued that the Public Prosecutor’s Office could be swayed by the political, media, and social environment surrounding the ongoing judicial process and that those influences could shape the framing of the case. She suggested that the office’s actions reflected a climate rather than the objective facts alone. She also noted that the prosecutor’s filings should be assessed strictly against the actual facts to determine whether a crime occurred, rather than through the lens of personalities involved. The leader highlighted Oltra’s role in articulating what happened in the ministry as central to the defense narrative in court.
Micó warned about a climate that might condition prosecutorial choices, yet she asserted that the party must ground itself in verifiable events, not impressions or biases. She added that the work of the Ministry for Equality and Inclusive Policies has not targeted any individual in the country’s children’s centers, framing the ministry’s activities as focused on policy implementation and child welfare rather than personal blame.
The call for inner harmony
The leader, who paused during the National Council gathering, stressed that the far right cannot be allowed to redefine the party’s accusations against Compromís and urged militants to maintain internal cohesion in the face of ongoing attacks. Valencia’s faction has a history of operating under pressure and vowed to continue its work even amid legal charges, arguing that resilience is part of the party’s political DNA. In discussing Mónica Oltra’s future, Micó suggested that Oltra has earned the right to decide her path in the next electoral cycle and that the red line with Oltra mirrors the broader line Compromís has consistently pursued in public positions. The message was clear: the party cannot let a fringe of political actors dictate its strategic direction.
At the Consell Nacional in Valencia, Més signaled its intent to trigger the start of the election pre‑campaign for upcoming municipal and regional races. Micó reiterated her commitment to advancing a third Botànic project aimed at consolidating a social transformation horizon, which she describes as an essential element of Compromís’ mission. This, she argued, is critical to broadening the party’s base and driving growth while countering liberal and decentralization pressures. When asked about potential electoral arrangements with other forces such as United We Can, Micó emphasized that Compromís would not surrender its political dominance or its transformative ethos for the Valencia region. The focus remained on sustaining momentum and keeping the party’s core priorities front and center, regardless of coalition chatter or shifting electoral calculations.
