In this legislature there will be no renewal of the statutory bodies, despite the fact that some have expired for months. The PP’s refusal to give numbers and change positions in institutions as significant as the Consultative Legal Council, the Audit Office or the Valencian Media Corporation, together with the internal crisis experienced by Ciudadanos, have made the Botanic and the Oranges give up their desire to approve the changes in the last session of the legislature.
This Monday a meeting was called between all the trustees except that of Vox, with the hope of reaching an agreement before the deadline for presenting candidates expired (the deadline is 6:00 p.m. on Monday, March 20). The PP was about to not attend, however, they ended up sending the second vice president of Les Corts, Jorge Bellver. Clear symptom of his intentions.
During the meeting, Cs even resigned from proposing anyone for the CJC in favor of the PP in an attempt to unblock the agreement, but the popular ones went with their clear decision and without names to put on the table. Its regional president, Carlos Mazón, already said that they were not going to join the agreement after the Botànic and Cs had advanced in the negotiation on their own.
There was then the possibility that the left and the orange formation led by Mamen Peris would try to carry out their proposal (they need 60 votes and in principle the numbers gave them). However, at this point and given the impossibility of a broad agreement, the parties prone to agreement have given up on moving forward. And it is that in Botànic they were not at all clear that Ciudadanos could provide those necessary votes judging by the internal crisis (and the trickle of resignations) that the formation is experiencing.
From the orange formation, for its part, it is pointed out that the reason for not going ahead was the profile of the names proposed by the left-wing parties “with party cards”. “They are unacceptable,” they pointed out. Thus, they ensured that the parliamentary group would have been able to secure the votes for the renewal if they had decided to carry it out. “We had eight of them, but not many more,” admitted a person in charge of the group to La Vanguardia.
