Generalitat President Ximo Puig seeks a quick resolution to the open crisis sparked by the indictment of Monica Oltra, the Vice President and Minister for Equality and Inclusive Policy. He emphasizes a steady, collective approach to leadership at the Consell level and warns that major decisions should come from a broader coalition, not from Compromís alone. The aim is to preserve stability in the Valencian government while addressing the tensions that have arisen in recent days.
Puig explained that he does not align with party-centric perspectives. This stance came as he responded to questions about a Compromís event held last Saturday, which ended up reflecting the deepest political storm within the current Valencian administration. His concise remarks to journalists indicated clear dissatisfaction with how the gathering unfolded amid ongoing scrutiny of the government’s crisis management.
Following the indictment, Puig urged both personal and collective reflection regarding Oltra’s future within the Valencia Board of Directors. The pressing question remains whether decisions will be made before Oltra testifies in court on July 6. Puig indicated that there is ample time within the week to reach a consensus, but emphasized that the autonomous leadership would decide with care and deliberation as events unfold.
From the La Nau Cultural Center, Puig spoke about the need to safeguard the public image of the Valencian Community. He asserted that the government, a partnership among three political forces, must act beyond the interests of Oltra or Compromís alone. The responsibility lies with multiple actors and the wider Valencian society, and any resolution must reflect that shared accountability. The emphasis was on building trust with citizens while navigating a moment of political volatility.
Puig did not outline a specific plan to meet with Oltra, but he stressed that political timelines require pause and careful consideration. Each actor responsible for decisions should engage in thoughtful reflection and then collaborate with the wider group of stakeholders who must eventually approve or adjust any course of action. The message was clear: today he would remain focused on his stance and what he has already communicated, while the broader process continues to unfold according to the pace of political processes in the region. In sum, the leadership urged patience, collective scrutiny, and a measured approach to decisions that affect the government and its citizens. This summary comes from multiple briefings with the presidency and is echoed by observers following Valencian politics who stress the necessity of unity in times of crisis.
