Once it has been decided who will soon replace Ximo Puig at the head of the Socialist Party of , it remains to unite a federation still fractured in not a few sensitivities, something known in politics as families. This is the goal that Minister Diana Morant has set after succeeding, thanks to Ferraz's pressure, in convincing the organic rivals to form a single candidacy for the extraordinary congress that will be held at the end of March. The candidate, and also the federal leadership of the PSOE, want the congress to close with majority support for the new Valencian socialist project, without leaving open wounds that could generate tension in Morant's leadership.
The minister said yesterday that she wants to "put an end to families once and for all; the family is the socialist party". But it's one thing to say it and another thing to achieve it. Alejandro Soler, leader of the PSPV in Alicante, and the counterpart in Valencia, Carlos Fernández Bielsa, are still negotiating the share of power for the future executive. Some socialist sources recognize that Diana Morant must also have control of the organization area. From here, the distribution of powers is worked out so that, in the end, no one is unduly compensated in accordance with their organic power. It is likely that Soler or Bielsa will occupy one of the presidency of the party, and the other, a deputy secretary. At the moment, the gestures between them and Morant are going in the right direction.
The future leader of the PSPV has organized a grassroots campaign in the run-up to the congress in which she has hired a person of Soler's utmost confidence as coordinator. An example of the desire for integration. In addition, he has scheduled events together with the two rivals in different Valencian cities.
Morant also clarified some doubts yesterday. The most important thing is that, at the moment, he has no plans to resign from the ministry because, he added, "I will have time for everything". He recalled that Carlos Mazón, current Valencian president, "was president of the Provincial Council of Alicante and was general secretary of the party" before becoming president of the Generalitat Valenciana. "I think it is disrespectful not to recognize that all of us who are involved in politics have an organic space and we have an institutional space, it is part of normality. Maybe what they don't want is to have a minister who is also dedicated to dealing with them", he added.
