Yolanda Díaz’s face will also be on the Compromís-Sumar ballot, although the claim of the Valencian partner is that the voice of the vice president is not the only one that is heard in the Congress of Deputies. To begin with, Compromís has changed the motto with which it will campaign in the three Valencian constituencies (Alicante, Valencia and Castellón) and instead of the ‘It’s for you’ that Díaz uses, it will use ‘La teua veu’ (Your voice), in accordance with the leading role that the Valencianists want to have and give to their own language.
And it is that, as the head of the poster of the coalition for Valencia, Àgueda Micó, reiterated yesterday, the plan is to achieve those five deputies that could allow him to have his own parliamentary group (the CIS, always optimistic for the left, gives him 7) or, otherwise, create a subgroup within Sumar and even choose a deputy spokesperson that would allow it to have a leading role in the debates in the Hemicycle.
Micó indicated yesterday that his objective is to be “key in a government of transformation of the State with Yolanda Díaz as president.” A circumstance that would not happen to have a ministerial aspiration, sources of the coalition argued to this newspaper, but to achieve the maximum investments for the Valencian Community.
A line that is reflected in the electoral program presented yesterday in Valencia and that imposes a Valencian agenda on Sumar. The Valencian program, explained Micó, “complements” the state one and develops the Valencian issues that Díaz assumes. Among them, the demand for an immediate reform of the financing system. This would entail a cancellation of the historical debt and the implementation of temporary equalization mechanisms until the reform was a reality.
Also in a Valencian key is the claim for an extension, modernization and electrification of the Valencian Cercanías network, compensating for the State’s investment deficit in recent years. Also the “urgent completion of the Mediterranean corridor and the Sagunto-Zaragoza-Bilbao corridor as priority axes for the Valencian rail connection”.
The electoral program was presented yesterday by Micó herself, as well as number two, Alberto Ibáñez, three, Nahuel González, and number six on the list, Àngela Llinares. The candidate for the Senate, Ignacio Blanco, was also present. The one who was a US candidate in 2015 once again demonstrated his political capacity.
Among the attending public, after the absence of the first day, the presence of two general directors of a Ministry of Housing that has directed this legislature Podem drew attention.
