Ximo Puig: "There is anger among the militancy due to harassment and threats at our headquarters"

"There is anger among the militancy over this campaign of harassment of our headquarters." This was said this morning by Ximo Puig, who stressed that it is "intolerable" that workers and activists "suffer morally for not being able to go to work in these places, they are affected." In this regard, he explained the case of Alzira, where Vox distributed last Saturday on its social networks a photo of councilors and socialist activists. "We are going to denounce this accusation against specific people."

The leader of the PSPV has asked President Carlos Mazón for “responsibility” in the face of the speeches and protests: “Mazón is everyone's president and abdicating that responsibility affects the nature of the presidency itself,” Ximo Puig has highlighted, who also He has pointed out that the Generalitat is not an instrument “to go against the Government of Spain, it is an instrument to improve the lives of Valencians.”

Ximo Puig has warned of the danger of delegitimizing a government: “Being a democrat is not saying every day that you are in favor of the Constitution, being a democrat is supporting all its mechanisms.” The general secretary of the Valencian socialists began his speech by “condemning the attacks on the media and militants” by people who “want to end coexistence”: “We respect the protesters who yesterday freely expressed their position to a law and we demand respect, insulting our headquarters and intimidation is not the right way.”

In this sense, Ximo Puig has regretted that the demonstrations "end up surrounding the headquarters of the socialist party and insulting all those who do not think like them" and has highlighted that, despite the fact that the Valencian Community currently has "the most conservative government and a government negative for the interests of the Community", the socialists "have given legitimacy to this government since the same election night."

“After these elections, the socialists did not go to the PP headquarters to regret their pact with the extreme right, an extreme right that is against people's rights”: “Protesting is legitimate, creating a breeding ground is another matter.” ”.
