The leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, will be in Valencia this Saturday at an event to put pressure on the Valencian agenda to be part of the negotiations for the investiture – currently stalled – of Pedro Sánchez. The date is not coincidental and although the event is organized by Sumar – who has already toured other territories with Díaz – Compromís wanted the date to coincide with the negotiation with the PSOE to try to form another coalition government. All of this with the aim of giving visibility to the Valencian demands that are very obscured by the demands of other territories.
This is what emerges from the call for the event: “Let’s go for the Valencian agenda.” In addition to Díaz, the three deputies who were chosen by the Valencia constituency will participate in the meeting to be held at the Palau de Les Arts: Àgueda Micó, Alberto Ibáñez and Nahuel González, the latter from Esquerra Unida.
As the spokesperson for Compromís in Les Corts Valencianes, Joan Baldoví, explained yesterday in a meeting with the media, the Valencian coalition “is represented by Sumar in the negotiations” to whom Compromís sends its proposals. A few days ago, deputy Àgueda Micó stressed this new negotiating tactic and assured that the 31 Sumar deputies assumed the Valencian agenda as their own.
All of this, in a context in which, as Baldoví recognized this Thursday, the negotiation for Sánchez’s re-election is advancing “very little by little.” Despite this, the Valencian parliamentarian was “inclined to think that there will be a Government”, although he clarified that he was not “100% sure”. Optimist by nature, the now deputy in Les Corts insisted that, during his 12 years in Congress, he has seen negotiations closed “in the final argument” of a debate.
To facilitate the negotiation, Baldoví was in favor of “discretion” and asked to escape from “media noise.” Of course, he assured that, once the expected agreement is reached, there must be “maximum transparency” to explain the contents of the agreement reached.
