In Compromís they do not trust Pedro Sánchez. They have assumed that the President of the Government deceived them in the 2019 investiture. He promised them a change in the financing model, addressing a solution for the accumulated debt in the Valencian Community and seeking a temporary formula to alleviate under-financing until a new one was agreed solution. None of that has come to pass. The Valencian coalition also wanted the transfer of the management of the Cercanías to be addressed, a demand that Ximo Puig also made, without success.
In the last legislature, Compromís had only one deputy in Congress, the omnipresent Joan Baldoví, who is now the síndic of the formation in the Valencian Cortes. Compromís now has three, Àgueda Micó, Alberto Ibáñez and Nahuel González (this is for the Esquerra Unida quota but in the coalition they have their support). "Our votes are now necessary, not in the last legislature", they point from the direction of a formation that has already designed the strategy to be followed in Madrid, different from that of the last legislatures. The electoral coalition with Sumar made it possible for the Valencianistas to increase their presence in the lower house and now it will be necessary to see if this increase has a political consideration from Sánchez and the PSOE.
Compromís is going to give its support to the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, this is not in question. "We are committed to a progressive government and we do not want the right and the extreme right to manage this country," these sources point out. But in the coalition, distrust towards Sánchez increases and this suggests a change of attitude, towards a strategy in which, after the hypothetical investiture of the PSOE leader, they want to demand specifics towards the "Valencian agenda": financing, investments, debt, infrastructures and surroundings. "This time we are going to demand that our demands be met or they will not have our support to support new laws in Congress," they add.
Compromís also observes in detail the negotiation of Pedro Sánchez with the PNV and with the Catalan separatists of ERC and Junts. And we are waiting to know the results of a situation that is intuited to be complex. The first, logically, to know if the Catalan forces are going to support the investiture. Afterwards, knowing the details of a negotiation that may include the opening of the debate on the change of financing model, an issue in which Compromís hopes that it will not take place bilaterally as Junts requests, but multilaterally, contemplating the reality of the worse autonomies financed, like the Valencian one.
In Compromís they also underline that they only have 3 deputies, but that there are 33 Valencian deputies in Congress, and that the PSOE and the PP "should also act in a Valencian code and not only doing what the national leadership of their respective parties sends them ". They regret that the criticism against them is "because they say that we did not achieve things when we only had one deputy, and the PSPV and the PP could perfectly condition the government's policies."
