Ferraz is placing strong bets on Sandra Gomez. A clear illustration is the decision to pick Valencia as the location for the city congress. The gathering will unfold on April 14, 15 and 16 and is regarded as the socialists’ most significant pre-campaign political action in the run-up to the local elections.
The newspaper confirms that the PSOE informed the various federations today that the event will take place in the Turia city. The congress is expected to attract more than 2,000 attendees from across Spain, including candidates from major urban centers who plan to participate and demonstrate support for the party’s strategy.
In the past, there had been talk about staging the conference in Seville. In the end Valencia was chosen, a decision interpreted as a deliberate signal in favor of Sandra Gómez and a display of confidence in her bid to become mayor after the elections on May 28. The choice signals a message that the party believes its plan can translate into real gains in the capital of the Valencian Community.
The head of government and secretary general of the PSOE, Pedro Sanchez, is expected to conclude the event on the 16th with remarks that underscore the party’s priorities and its roadmap ahead of the electoral contest.

The resolution confirms the Community of Valencia as the battleground for the 28M elections. The socialists aim to defend their status in the autonomous region alongside Ximo Puig while seeking to win control of one of Spain’s major cities. The stakes are high as regional leadership could influence national dynamics in the months to come.
Earlier this year, the PP conducted its municipal congress in Valencia, with notable participation from Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The event showcased the party’s readiness to compete in the city and to offer an alternative course to voters who will be weighing local governance with national implications.
