Diana Morant: "PP and Vox are the same and we are going to stand up to them more united than ever"

The new general secretary of the PSPV, Diana Morant, agitated the socialist bases this Sunday with a clear message: “I will be the first female president of the Valencian Community.” At the closing of the congress that elevated her as general secretary of the second most important federation in Spain, Morant urged the delegates to work “united and cohesive” to “conquer the Palau de la Generalitat for the citizens” in 2027. Therefore, the socialist leader has made it clear that her formation will “stand up” to the current government of the Generalitat.

Morant has not hesitated to affirm that "there is no difference between PP and Vox", since they are capable of signing together "the most reactionary counter-reform in history." For this reason, the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities has indicated that the PSPV is more “necessary than ever: we are the alternative to stop this ignominy.” Morant has gone so far as to describe Carlos Mazón's PP as “the worst PP in Spain, the PP of the Valencian Community ever.”

Along these lines, after vindicating the legacy of Ximo Puig – “a good and honest man” – and Joan Lerma, he stressed that the popular party has three former presidents “tainted by corruption.”

Given this situation and the legislative package promoted this week by PP and Vox - with regulations that aim to "remove Valencians from schools", "value the Franco dictatorship" or "assault Valencian public television" - Morant has pointed out that the citizens have “a containment dam that is the government of Spain.” The minister has assured that Valencians have in the Executive of Pedro Sánchez "an ally to protect social achievements."

And a large part of his speech has been aimed at praising the figure Pedro Sánchez, key in his rise to the leadership of the PSPV and who has supported his minister at the closing of the conclave. “I want to thank you for your daily support to the Valencians from the Government of Spain. “You symbolize what we would like to have in the Valencian Community,” he noted.

In this sense, Morant has applauded “the strength” of the President of the Government “in the face of the ignominy and hatred” that he has to endure. Morant has assured that "they are not attacking Pedro, they are attacking the general secretary of the socialists because they do not want us in the government."

Before the interventions and even before the arrival of the President of the Government, the new executive was presented where the socialists have tried to convey that image of unity with hugs between Morant and the two leaders who threatened to run in primaries.

On several occasions, in his speech, Morant has shown off the unity achieved in the conclave - not easy if you review the history of Valencian socialism - and has assured the delegates that the PSPV has formed "a great team, full of talent and energy to fill that void that Valencians feel in the face of the most reactionary government in history"
