Ximo Puig aspires to achieve the support of the "vast majority of Valencians"

There has been a lot of debate these days in Valencia about the relationship of forces that will exist in the Valencian left after 28M. The PSPV, in this regard, aspires to see its hegemonic position strengthened against Compromís, Podem and EUPV; Enough to be able to negotiate, if needed, with more comfort than in 2015 and 2019 with its partners a possible third Botànic. Scenario that can only occur if the block on the left obtains a better result than the block made up of the PP and Vox.

President Ximo Puig said it yesterday when he declared that he wants the support of "the vast majority of Valencians." Always prudent in his statements, the Valencian president and socialist candidate did not want to venture what he would do in the case of being able to govern alone, with specific support in the Valencian Parliament. Asked about the issue, and about what the trustee of Compromís Papi Robles said, who in response to this hypothesis affirmed that "miracles, to Lourdes", Puig pointed out, in an ironic tone, that "I have great respect for all religions, and this Holy Week, especially for the real one”.

He said it after presiding over the National Executive Commission of the Valencian socialists. Moment in which he made it clear that his messages in this campaign are not going to be aimed at attacking his rivals but rather at defending the management carried out by his government and proposing “positive” solutions. In this regard, he added that the time has come to "open the conversation" with Valencian society to demand the consolidation of the change that has been experienced in the last eight years and offer them a project "for the social majority, which is also based on the stability, dialogue and respect”.

He criticized the campaign strategy of his rivals. "It is unfortunate that the opposition wants to revive the tension, because it has no alternative in the Valencian Community," he specified. And he valued that what the PP wants in these weeks prior to 28M is "to try to destroy, without alternatives, without solvency, opportunistically and often quite amorally." In response to the criticism that the president of the Valencian PP, Carlos Mazón, had launched against him hours before, he pointed out that these regional elections are not "a pre-debate" of the general ones, and that the Valencian Community "should not be the object of partisan desire". , because it is "much more important than a trophy for anyone". Regarding the fractures that are taking place to his left between Podem, Compromís and Sumar, he avoided making assessments. "I only ask that they work and look for the general interest."
