Initiative insists that Senator Carles Mulet will repeat in office for four more years. This Monday, the ecosocialist formation (the second largest in Compromís) launched a tweet in which it reaffirmed that the Castellón leader “had been chosen with 91% of the votes”, to be the representative that the coalition will propose in Les Corts to his election as territorial senator in the plenary session of the last week of July. After the results of 28-M, the PP has three representatives, the PSPV, 2 and Compromís, one.
Despite Iniciativa’s firm conviction, from Més Compromís they are not at all clear that the final proposal is going to be Mulet. This weekend, from the official account of the formation that Àgueda Micó still coordinates, it was pointed out that they respect “the internal processes and debates of the rest of the parties that make up Compromís”, but that they have been “forced to deny that there has been any no debate and no one elects the management bodies of Compromís”. To which they added: “Support for a candidate by one of the Compromís parties is an intention and not a decision.”
In this line, they postponed until after the general elections of 23-J the process to elect the representatives of Compromís in Madrid.
An idea that was refuted by Iniciativa, alleging that the electoral protocol of the coalition for the regional elections is “very clear” in this sense and stresses that “the weighting for the distribution of the resources derived from these elections with the usual percentages (60- 35-5)”. Translated, that 65% would be for Més, 35% for Iniciativa and 5% for Els Verds.
In addition, the same sources added, point 3.3 of the aforementioned protocol establishes the intention of avoiding “disproportions that affect the plurality” of the brand with the appointment of positions derived from these electoral results. In Initiative they understand that since they have four of the 15 deputies (26.6%) when they should have five (33%) and even then they would not reach the 35% assigned, so they understand that they have to compensate.
For the formation that Mónica Oltra led in its day, the problem lies in the fact that Més Compromís is afraid that after the general elections, the Initiative will have two deputies in Congress (those who go on 2 and 4 for Valencia) and Més will be left with 1 According to internal calculations, it seems easier to achieve four deputies for Valencia than two for Alicante. An imbalance that would allow the majority party in the coalition to demand representation in the Senate.
A dispute that takes place a week before the votes that will decide the viability of the Sumar project (in addition to the course of the Government of Spain). For Més, what Iniciativa is doing is nothing more than a “staging” since they reiterate that the process has not begun.
For the eco-socialists, the question is already clear and “if for reasons of internal balance they do not know where to place Enric Morera (former president of Les Corts Valencianes)” it is not their problem. Morera is the name that sounds for the part of Més. There, in the Upper House, he could share a seat with the former president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, with whom he maintains a wonderful relationship.
It is not the first scuffle that has occurred between Més Compromís and Iniciativa. The other two (on account of the representation in the Table or in the deputy spokesperson Les Corts in the appointment of the three provincial deputies) were resolved peacefully.
