Thirty-eight days after the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, offered the new general secretary of the PSPV, Diana Morant, a meeting “as soon” as possible to talk about “matters of great importance” such as financing, investments, water, European funds and matters of regional competence such as the unblocking of statutory bodies, the date of the meeting has been set. It will be next Thursday, May 2 at the Palau de la Generalitat, as confirmed by sources from the Presidency and the PSPV.
Despite this, the desire expressed in his letter by the head of the Consell to achieve “meeting points” seems distant after the implementation of the legislative agenda of PP and Vox in Les Corts has strained Valencian politics, with laws which the opposition strongly rejects.
In fact, as this newspaper has been explaining, the priority of the PSPV is to “confine the meeting to issues that affect Valencian politics” and not focus solely on the demands of the Government of Spain, of which Morant is a part as Minister of Science. Innovation and Universities. For this reason, the Valencian socialists believe that Mazón’s proposal “may be a trap.”
Along these lines, Morant wants to put on the table the legislative package that the PP has agreed with Vox to repeal the democratic memory law, modify the presence of Valencian in schools, change the law that regulates the Valencian public radio and television entity, disrupt transparency rules or alter the majorities to elect representatives in the Anti-Fraud Agency. The socialists consider that there will be no problems in also addressing these issues since the president, in his letter, expressed his willingness to debate other issues that the minister also considered appropriate.
Another thing is that there may be a cordial agreement in some of them, something that seems complicated given the current tension that Valencian politics is experiencing.
