The Unides Podem candidate for the Presidency of the Generalitat and acting second vice president of the Consell, Héctor Illueca, will leave the first political line after the disastrous result of the regional and municipal elections on May 28, which left UP far from entering the Les Corts Valencianes and outside the vast majority of town halls.
The Illueca march, announced by the newspaper Levante-EMV, is known hours after the coordinator of Podem in the Valencian Community and candidate for Mayor of Valencia, Pilar Lima, also announced her resignation as leader of the purple formation.
Lima admitted the bad results of 28-M and pointed out that his own mistakes and the demobilization due to the conflict with Sumar were key in the scrutiny of the polls.
The two exits take place in a context in which the Compromís-Sumar coalition has already presented its lists to Congress and the Senate for 23-J. Some candidacies without the presence of the current leaders of Podem, as Lima lamented yesterday, but that does recover figures from the first stage such as the former deputies in Les Corts Llum Quiñonero or Naiara Davó, who lost the primaries with Lima itself. A declaration of intentions.
After confirming his step back, sources from the Illueca environment explained that the still vice president “has always affirmed that politics was a parenthesis in his professional activity.” Thus, they continue, “after these four years as a deputy in Congress, general director of the Labor Inspectorate of the Ministry and second vice president of the Valencian Government, he will resume his professional activity as Labor and Social Security inspector and as a professor at the University of Valencia “.
