Who will Yolanda Díaz campaign with for the Valencian regional and local elections of the next 28M? Will you support Héctor Illueca as a Unides Podem candidate for the Generalitat Valenciana in a context of the need for this coalition to remain in the Valencian Parliament and be able to guarantee the continuity of the Botànic? Will Yolanda Díaz go to the invitation of Joan Ribó, mayor of Valencia and Compromís candidate, to help her in the local battle to prevent the PP and Vox from recovering a city that has become The Jewel in the Crown? Will you have any gesture with Joan Baldoví, Compromís candidate for the Generalitat Valenciana who must maintain, at least, the bar left by Mónica Oltra? Will you campaign locally in favor of Pilar Lima, Unides Podem candidate for Valencia City Council, the Jewel in the Crown for the PP, to overcome the trauma that caused this coalition to stay out of the corporation in 2019?
These are the questions that circulate among the aforementioned political formations, among observers of the Valencian campaign and among a large part of the respective militants, affected by the power struggle unleashed between Yolanda Díaz and Pablo Iglesias, aggravated after the presentation of Sumar in Magariños ; in Madrid, always in Madrid. An appointment, that of April 2, that not a few representatives of the Valencian left, also of the PSPV, believe should have been postponed after 28M due to the growing threat of giving oxygen to some right-wing groups that in the Valencian Community are going to mobilize every last bit of their resources, and there are many of them. But what has been done in Magariños has been done. Let's go back to the questions at the beginning. What will Yolanda Díaz do in the campaign in Valencia? Any answer, which we hope to know soon, will have consequences, positive and negative, and that's where the problem comes from. It is also pointed out that Yolanda Díaz must be "very intelligent" in the maneuver because she, and Sumar, can navigate between success or failure depending on what happens in the Valencian Community. Will Yolanda Díaz and Pablo Iglesias feel responsible for a hypothetical failure of United We Can in the Valencian Community?
The atmosphere in this geography is such that in Compromís more than one authoritative voice comments that, as things are, Yolanda Díaz should not take photos of the leaders of the Valencian coalition and focus on Unides Podem. She does not say it just anyone, and she argues: "it does not contribute anything to us, an environment of conflict with Unides Podem in the Valencian Community will only subtract, something else is in Spain." In Unides Podem, however, they have open arms; they need it. Héctor Illueca loves Yolanda Díaz, for many reasons, some personal. The purple candidate is a smart guy, he knows that the presence of the vice president next to him can convey a message of "unity" at this key moment, despite the fact that "unity" may or may not materialize in the future. In addition, he would confirm the Valencian commitment of Yolanda Díaz, whose result will have consequences on the Spanish political scene: it could be the prelude to the success or failure of the left in the next general elections (Iván Redondo dixit). It would have, in the short term, a calming, balsamic effect, in the Valencian campaign, before the brawl, very digital, very Madrid, very radio, which threatens to demobilize a sector of the left.
A piece of information: in the Valencian PP it is assumed that they will have a very difficult time in those towns where the left to the left of the PSPV have presented candidacies for unity, such as Torrent, Orihuela, Gandia, Elda, Mislata. Another piece of information: in the Valencian PP there is more concern that Compromís is far ahead of Vox than the possibility that Unides Podem does not exceed 5% and does not win a seat in the Valencian Parliament; they take it for granted. Some in Madrid should take note.
