The national leadership of the PP is not going to require Carlos Mazón to redraft the document signed last Thursday with Vox for the government pact in the Valencian Community. That is to say, the text in which there is no talk of gender violence, feminism or equality and yes of “domestic violence”. In addition, they indicate their support for the future Valencian president. These sources add that Pedro Sánchez already accepted these conditions in the agreement with Albert Ribera that did not crystallize. Of course, they make it clear, as Feijóo did yesterday in an act, that the party is not going to tolerate that the denialist discourse of gender violence is installed in the action of the next government of the Generalitat Valenciana or of any other institution in which the PP has agreed with Vox.
What the PP does want is to prevent José María Llanos, the two from Vox in Valencia who denied gender violence last Friday to TVE, generating alarm, from occupying the Justice portfolio. Those words provoked a harsh reaction from Feijóo and from Mazón himself on social networks. But the text of the pact was known in Genoa. What was not well calculated was the tonality that the letter of the agreement could reach if Vox bragged about it, as it did.
That is why now the PP wants to remove Llanos from Justice. A very sensitive area, which includes the Autonomous Police, on which the gender violence courts depend and which the Generalitat Valenciana provides resources for its operation. In addition, other gender violence courts in the Valencian Community are pending activation, which need the approval of the future Valencian head of Justice. These sources indicate that Carlos Mazón is going to impose his criteria so that Vox chooses another person.
From the PP it is insisted that the Valencian pact with Vox, beyond the number of ministries granted, reserves for Carlos Mazón the control of social and equality policies and other “sensitive” matters. The formation of Abascal will manage a vice presidency that also assumes Culture, in the hands of the former bullfighter Vicente Barrera; in addition to Justice and Agriculture. But they point out that in the area of ??Social Welfare, equality, gender or family violence policies are integrated. The same happens with Agriculture, which will not manage the Environment, which reserves the PP. A way for Vox’s climate denialist discourse, which is contemplated in the text of the Valencian agreement, to have coverage from the Valencian administration.
The biggest concern will continue to be in the coming days that Vox wants to continue controlling the pact’s scenery, despite the fact that executive control of the new government is held by the PP. That is to say, that statements like those of José María Llanos cloud the implementation of an executive that Carlos Mazón wants to form as soon as possible.
