Barely 48 hours after the Diputación de Valencia is set up, the only major institution that aspires to retain the left after the bad result of 28-M, Ens Uneix – the party that will tip the scales with its vote – has reiterated its decision to not support either the PSPV candidate, Carlos Fernández Bielsa, or the PP candidate, Vicent Mompó. Thus, he assured in statements to EFE that the “only possibility” of setting up a progressive government in the Diputación de Valencia is that the PSPV and Compromís vote for their deputy, Natalia Enguix, as president.
Despite the attempt to get closer to the Socialists, the words of Ximo Puig supporting their candidate, the party led by Jorge Rodríguez – who was the Socialist president of the Valencia Provincial Council until his imputation in the Alquería case (he has already been acquitted)- He still doesn’t trust Puig. “The latest demonstrations by the main socialist leaders are limited to giving obvious support to Bielsa, but at no time do they state that the socialist candidate is going to have a free hand and that he is not going to be supervised by the party leadership”, underline the same sources.
Along these lines, they indicate that “with the current management of Ximo Puig at the helm, the PSPV is not a reliable party to lead the Valencia Provincial Council. Therefore, at the moment when the PSPV becomes a reliable party for us again, we We will have no problem reconsidering this position and promoting the pertinent changes”. Some affirmations that seem to be aimed at not handing over the Provincial Council to the left for now and waiting for organic events in the PSPV with the idea of ??reversing the situation throughout the legislature (there is the possibility of making a motion of censure).
However, this Wednesday, Ens Uneix has gone a step further in its warnings and has advanced that if Enguix is ??not voted for, they will feel with their “hands free to agree on a stable government with the political forces that want the Provincial Council to be a dike containment to stop extremism”. We will have to see how that majority can be articulated without Vox.
