“The agreement with Sumar has to be ready first thing in the morning on Friday at the latest.” The calendar runs against them and in Compromís they already have the addresses of the three parties that make up the Valencian coalition on duty to be able to ratify the agreement that they hope their negotiating commission will reach with the platform of Yolanda Díaz.

The steps to follow are clear: when the negotiators explain to the Compromís executive the content of the agreement (positions on the list, electoral program, campaign financing, number of candidates) each party in the coalition (More Compromís, Initiative of Poble Valencià and Els Verds-Equo) will meet to ratify the pact.

The three highest bodies between congresses of each of the formations (the National Council for the Month, the National Initiative Table and the Taula de País de Els Verds) will give the final approval to the agreement. And all this before the end of the period established to register the brand with which they will present themselves in the general elections on July 23. Hence the rush.

An express process that does not end there. After closing the agreement with Sumar (which is expected to be compatible with the global agreement with Podemos), the three parties that make up the coalition have 10 days, until June 19, to present the candidates for Congress and the Senate. Some names of Més Compromís have already applied, such as the mayor of Valencia Pere Fuset or the regional secretary of Employment, Enric Nomdedéu.

Sources from Més and Iniciativa have confirmed to La Vanguardia that they will opt for an express primary process to elect aspiring deputies. What is usually done calmly and with all the guarantees and deadlines set, will have to be done immediately given the inflexibility of deadlines after the surprising electoral advance decreed by Pedro Sánchez after the socialist debacle of 28-M.
