The strategic lines of the executive management of the government led by Carlos Mazón are well defined; There is not much room for doubt beyond those readjustments imposed by reality, as has happened with the reversion of the Dénia and Manises hospitals. Vox does not have the capacity to condition the programmatic axes of the PP; although it will try, in the areas it controls in the Valencian administration, to offer glimpses of its scenographic drive (pay attention to the Culture area). The good harmony between Mazón and his vice president Vicente Berrera is a factor of stability of the legislative pact, no matter how much the leadership of Santiago Abascal's party encourages the troops to riot and work in the trenches. The Generalitat is not the City Council, where Juan Manuel Bádenas' threat to María José Catalá will be, in political terms, permanent, no matter how much the local spokesperson for Vox has managed to become deputy mayor.
Carlos Mazón reaches the first 100 days, one step away from starting the test that will determine the social model that the PP wants for Valencians: the budgets, which are announced as “very tough”, and which will be presented in the coming days (the budgets are the most important political decision of any administration). The elimination of the Inheritance or Donation tax, which benefits high incomes, and the reduction of taxes on home purchases and various deductions, which benefits average and low incomes, have been temporary measures and have functioned as an exercise to confirm their program political. With the 2024 accounts we will be able to audit the capacity of this administration to reduce income (280 million euros per year in Inheritance), in an inflationary context and economic crisis, to maintain the quality of public services, more necessary than ever in the face of dark clouds of a world at war. We will see if we continue walking on the margins of liberalism or make the leap to neoliberalism.
The anniversary also has a cultural tone based on the revisionism of the Valencian extension policies of the previous Botànic executive. So far, the measures are aimed at reducing its presence in schools in Spanish-speaking areas and changing the linguistic criteria for use in the administration. For the moment, institutional respect for the AVL is maintained, which is the red line that no administration should cross. Those of Vox want to go further, in a clear vocation to bet on Castilian against Valencian; objective in which this party is coherent: how are they going to defend the co-official languages if they reject the current autonomous system!
Mazón works within a Valencian protest framework that adds water and the expansion of the Port of Valencia to the financing and investments. They will be the subjects of his tough opposition to the Government of Pedro Sánchez if he achieves the investiture. The president turns 100 days old, and it does not seem that the opposition has bothered him too much so far; and that is, in a political key, his great advantage.
