Carlos Mazón is already president of the Generalitat Valenciana, passing the investiture debate with flying colors. Notice to Vox partner of government, hand outstretched to the opposition, white glove with the outgoing president Puig and a firm hand with Compromís. Joan Baldoví heard in front of the entire parliament that he abstained in the vote for the president of Les Corts, whom he vehemently criticized, or that Compromís agreed with the PPCV for the seat occupied by the nationalists at the chamber table, something they denied weeks ago and that was exposed yesterday. Mazón appeared in society on Thursday, and from what he experienced in the aftershocks of the debate, more than one was caught off guard.
Today, Monday, Carlos Mazón is sworn in, and this afternoon he announces the members of his government. The game, the real one, starts now. The new president is facing a legislature in which, despite the elegance of Puig's speech, the PSPV will offer tough opposition. This situation will surely intensify when Puig himself gives up the leadership of the party, which will come sooner or later. Compromís for its part has already started fighting, a day that it was not due, and Vox, a government partner, warned that it does not want pacts with the left, something that marked Mazón's mandate in the Alicante Provincial Council and with which he insisted from the rostrum of speakers the new president.
The real challenges for the incoming government from Cortes to the outside are to change dynamics and also to explain it well. Mazón's main challenges are to reduce the endless hospital waiting lists, improve health care, restore the freedom of choice of school to parents and precisely equate Valencian and Spanish in the classrooms as established by the Statute of Autonomy.
The latter is what, in addition to carrying out, he will have to explain, because for more than one person, equating both languages is interpreted as pursuing Valencian. Equating is equality, same options and opportunities. Until Thursday, dozens of court rulings against the Ministry of Education show that there was no equality, or balance, but despite the action of justice, they are things that must be explained...
