Ximo Puig has complied with his warning and has undone the lists to Congress and the Senate approved by the provincial directorates of Alicante and Valencia the day before. In a tense meeting, where very critical interventions have been heard with this decision (also many others of support), the national (autonomous) executive has chosen to introduce significant changes in the proposed candidacies. At press time, the meeting had not yet ended.
In this way, the lists are modified at the expense of what Ferraz may decide, what he surely does not want is more trouble a few days before starting a very complicated electoral campaign for the interests of the PSOE.
In Valencia, Puig has chosen to remove the head of the list for the Senate, Juan Antonio Sagredo (mayor of Paterna and Bielsa’s right-hand man) and put Alfred Boix, a man of his complete confidence who still acts as regional secretary for Institutional Promotion. and Communication at the Palau de la Generalitat. The other big change is the incorporation of the acting deputy and mayoress of Quart (she did not stand for re-election) Carmen MartÃnez, as number three on the list for Valencia, to the detriment of Pilar Sarrión, spokesperson for the Diputación and the bet from the province Nor will Mako Mira be on the list and in her place (number 5) will be the mayoress of AlgemesÃ, Marta Trenzano. The first two positions (Minister Diana Morant and former Minister José Luis Ãbalos, armored by Ferraz) and number 4, Vicent Sarrià , are not touched.
In the same way, many changes have been introduced in the Alicante list proposed by the executive chaired by the national deputy Alejandro Soler who, yes, remains at the head of the list. They are followed by Patricia Blanquer, José DÃaz and Araceli Poblador. There is also a change in the Senate where the historic Ãngel Franco will not be and Antonia Moreno and Toñi Serna enter.
These changes and the atmosphere of tension that has been experienced this afternoon denote the open fracture in the PSPV after losing the elections. And it is that during the executive very critical interventions have been heard both from the provincial leaders themselves (Bielsa and Soler have taken the floor) and from Sagredo. These have defended what the party statutes and the competence of the provincial to make the lists for the Cortes Generales establish.
However, others (Arcadi España, Vicent Sarrià , Borja Sanjuán, Inma Sánchez, Toñi Serna) have taken the floor to defend the leadership of the still president of the Generalitat, recalling that he had said so unanimously. “It seems that some are trying to put that leadership in question,” explained one of those present at the meeting. At press time, the debate (and anger) continued.
