The capacity of Ca Revolta was too big. According to the same organizers of the Sumar territorial assembly that was held in Valencia, the venue was not completed with the hundred people who were expected to be able to attend this space for debate framed in the work prior to the celebration of the state assembly. from the end of March.
Among the seventy attendees, there were former senior Initiative officials at the Botànic Council such as Alfons Puncel or Paula Tuzón. Both left the Government when their party caused the departure of the Minister of Agriculture Mireia Mollà due to an internal conflict with the then vice president Aitana Mas.
By the way, Mireia Mollà’s father, the historic leader of the Initiative, Pasqual Mollà, was one of those who was, already in December, at an event by Yolanda Díaz’s platform in Alicante, which generated the first controversies with his Compromís partners.
On this occasion, the territorial assemblies this weekend, still viewed with suspicion by the Valencian coalition, do not seem to keep them awake. “Maybe seeing so few people is more of a strategic mistake on their part than a problem for us,” an authoritative voice from Compromís said this Monday. The same source insisted that the Valencian team wants to positively value that Sumar “is always repeating that they are not coming to compete against us.”
The organizers of this weekend’s meetings that were held in Alicante – with the presence of the national deputy Txema Guijarro -, València and Villena, explain to La Vanguardia that the organizational and political documents were debated for the state assembly and that they did not The electoral future of training in the Valencian Community was discussed.
“It was the elephant in the room,” explained one of the attendees, who believes that it is still too early to know what will finally happen. “We are not in that debate, which is still up in the air,” clarified one of the members of the Sumar promoter group in the Valencian Community. However, Sumar has signed an electoral non-competition agreement with Compromís; another thing is whether that agreement, when the time comes, can be broken or not.
Before that, the agreement between both parties must be sealed – with the participation of other autonomous forces such as the CHA, Más Madrid or Més de las Baleares – to put together a joint candidacy for the European elections in June. A negotiation that, with so many actors, is not presumed to be easy at all.
