Next Thursday will mark one month since President Carlos Mazón sent the invitation to the minister and leader of the PSPV, Diana Morant, to hold an institutional meeting at the Palau de la Generalitat. An appointment in which the presidential and PSPV teams are working to specify a date that should not be postponed in time. And on which the dialogue frameworks that each of the parties wish to put on the table are already being prepared in search, if possible, of some type of agreement.
But for now the pessimism is evident. In the PSPV they believe that Carlos Mazón will try to "impose his agenda." In the letter sent by the president, he proposed to discuss at the future meeting "issues of great importance" such as financing, investments, water, European funds and matters of regional competence such as the unblocking of statutory bodies. Presidency sources maintain that this objective is maintained with the idea of seeking Diana Morant's support for the grievances of the so-called "Valencian agenda." Although they make it clear that the quote can be used "to address many other issues."
However, on the part of the PSPV the priority is "to limit the meeting to issues that affect Valencian politics" and they believe that Mazón's proposal "may be a trap." They emphasize that the socialist leader will address the legislative package that the PP has agreed with Vox to repeal the law of democratic memory, modify the presence of Valencian in schools, change the law that regulates the Valencian public radio television entity, disrupt the rules of transparency or alter the majorities to elect representatives in the Anti-Fraud Agency.
In this case, the PSPV believes that there are issues such as the new Concord Law "on which there can hardly be an agreement", even more so, they add, after the statements of representatives of the Valencian executive such as those made by the Minister of Justice, Elisa Núñez . They assess that the pacts with Vox "cloud the possibility of reaching agreements." In this regard, they are pessimistic about the possibility of also reaching agreements regarding the renewal of the pending statutory bodies: the Consell Jurídic Consultiu, the Consell Valencià de Cultura, the Consell de Transparència, the Consell Rector de la Radio Televisión, the Consell de Universities and the Sindicatura de Comptes.
Both parties, however, are working on an agenda in which issues such as the management of Emergencies, highly questioned by the opposition, or the housing problem in the Valencian Community can also be incorporated. On this last point, the PSPV believes that the Generalitat's refusal to accept the Government's new Housing Law "is going to be an obvious point of tension between the parties." Regarding Emergencies, they describe it as "problematic" that it is also Elisa Núñez who blames the previous executive of the Botànic "for the new fires that are being detected."
The meeting should not take long to take place. Among other reasons, because the processing of the legislative proposals of the PP and Vox is going to be carried out quickly in the Corts Valencianes, and they must be approved by July 10 at the latest. In that period, the opposition can propose amendments, and the meeting between Diana Morant and Carlos Mazón could be an opportunity to modulate the changes that each party is willing to accept, although this possibility is observed, today, very distant.
