The words on Monday night of the former leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, accusing Compromís of vetoing the presence of charges for the purple formation on the lists of the Valencian Community have been quickly denied by the Valencian coalition, which reiterates that they do not They have vetoed no one in this process.
In the middle of some rather discreet negotiations, Iglesias warned, in the Hora 25 program of Cadena Ser that "there are three territories with three political forces that are openly saying that with Podemos no: Madrid, the Valencian Community and Catalonia". A statement that is flatly denied by Compromís and that they consider it a negotiation strategy that stresses and does not help to reach an agreement.
As La Vanguardia has reported, Compromís is negotiating directly with Sumar both the name of the ballot, as well as the electoral program, as well as the configuration of the list. Later, the same sources explain, Yolanda Díaz's platform will decide who occupies the positions on the list that she has reserved. "We are not negotiating with Podemos and we are not vetoing them," they reiterate.
It is true that Compromís understands that, after the results of 28-M (which left Unides Podem out of the Valencian Parliament), their names should lead the three candidacies in the Valencian Community (Alicante, Valencia and Castellón). Thus, during the negotiation process with Sumar, the door had been opened for the candidacy for Valencia to be headed by an independent, which would delay the number two candidate for Compromís. However, these negotiations are currently at a standstill pending progress at the state level between Sumar and Podemos.
Despite this, in Compromís they maintain their optimism of reaching an agreement with Sumar before next Friday to achieve a candidacy for unity to the left of the PSPV on 23-J.
In statements to TVE, the Compromís candidate in the last 28M elections, Joan Baldoví, has stated that his formation "is not vetoing anyone" in the negotiations and has reproached Pablo Iglesias for launching "absolutely unfounded reproaches" towards his party .
Baldoví has emphasized that the attitude of the former vice president of the Government "does not help" and confronts that in the morning "discretion" is requested and at night "reproaches" are made that are not true and generating a "rarefied atmosphere."
