Mazón seeks a dialogue with the opposition that finds it impossible to reach agreements

The president of the Valencian Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, yesterday invited the new leader of the PSPV, Diana Morant, to a meeting to "seek meeting points" on "matters of great importance" for the Valencian Community such as financing, investments, water, European funds and matters of regional competence such as the unblocking of statutory bodies.

Despite the good words and the predisposition shown in the letter, it does not seem that Mazón's gesture will serve to rebuild bridges between the Government and the opposition that PSPV and Compromís consider broken after last week, in the Corts Valencianes, PP and Vox will present a "reformist agenda" that the left considers an amendment to their entire eight-year mandate at the head of the Consell.

A legislative package with significant changes (political and symbolic) in regional television, in the anti-fraud agency or in the law of incompatibilities, which also represent the de facto repeal of the law of historical memory and the multilingualism model in educational centers .

If until now it had been difficult to find agreements between blocks (except that of PP and Compromís for the Mesa de Les Corts, which the nationalists have never admitted in public), the registration of the five legislative proposals "has blown up all the bridges," he admitted. yesterday a leader of Compromís. Also in the PSPV they see no significant agreements with a PP that Morant described on Sunday as “the worst in all of Spain.” All this in a context in which the two opposition parties have ensured that they will take laws to court that have not yet even begun to be processed.

The popular parties have sounded out their rivals on more than one occasion to try to renew some of the six statutory bodies blocked since 2023: the Consell Jurídic Consultiu, the Consell Valencià de Cultura, the Consell de Transparència, the Consell de Universities, the Sindicatura de Comptes and the Governing Council of Television. Only the latter could be renewed when the new rule that affects regional television is approved, makes the Governing Council disappear as such and alters the qualified majorities necessary to elect the members of the new Board of Directors of the chain.

The blockade in the rest will continue, no matter how much the PP shows interest in forcing its renewal. And the Valencian Community faces a legislature of total confrontation.
