The pressure from the national leadership of the PSOE to try to achieve a consensus solution in the PSPV before the first elections are held is increasing. At this time, the three candidates for the general secretary of the PSPV, the Minister of Science and Innovation Diana Morant, the mayor of Mislata and general secretary of the PSPV in the province of Valencia, Carlos Fernández Bielsa and the general secretary in the province of Alicante, Alejandro Soler, are meeting with Santos Cerdán, the secretary of Territorial Coordination and Party-Government Relations. The news has been reported by Cadena Ser and confirmed by this newspaper.
The objective is to reach an agreement that avoids a confrontation scenario in the Valencian federation, which will hold its congress at the end of March. Sources close to Diana Morant have indicated that the minister was not expected to attend this meeting, but that she has been asked to listen to what Cerdán was talking about with the other two candidates. Morant is the candidate who has the support of Pedro Sánchez and Ximo Puig. Yesterday, the three formalized their pre-candidacy for the general secretary of the PSPV-PSOE.
