So far, the winds that came from the capital of Spain were not encouraging for the Valencian left. Ongoing fights in the coalition government, a certain negligence of the Prime Minister when it comes to dealing with key issues for the Valencian Community (water, financing, Valencian Civil Law and even the gigafactory) together with a downward trend in the polls and a constant advance of the PP in the polls.
However, the failed motion of no confidence and the strengthening of Pedro Sánchez and Yolanda Díaz, represent a good oxygen ball in an autonomy where the electoral forecasts predict an agonizing recount. The debate these days in the Congress of Deputies could be a turning point for a Botànic for which the national situation made it difficult for it to continue.
As of today, it seems that the Valencian right is more mobilized and the left needs to recover the electoral participation of previous elections if it wants to continue in power. In fact, one of the causes that have been put forward in the headquarters of the left to contradict the results of some polls was the little electoral impulse of the moment. The motion can already activate the electoral mode.
Likewise, the orchestrated distribution of roles between Sánchez and Díaz to respond to Vox's motion, has shown the path that the Valencian government must take in these little more than two months left for the municipal and regional elections.
The lesson is clear: set aside the divergences and unite again and confront their management with the possible alternative of PP and Vox. They have been working on it for a long time at the Palau de la Generalitat, emphasizing selling the achievements of the legislature and making the most of the four years: next week three new laws will be approved in the last plenary session of Les Corts.
Surely, when the campaign begins, messages will begin to appear warning that if there is a change, the PP will rely on Vox. Alberto Nuñez Feijóo himself already confessed it, in a certain way, when he came to the Fallas and admitted that absolute majorities are very difficult to achieve.
It also seems that Pedro Sánchez has understood that for him to continue being president after the general elections at the end of the year, the parties to his left must have a good electoral behavior on 28M, especially in the Valencian Community. The commitment to give Vice President Yolanda Díaz prominence a few days after she announces her intention to attend the elections is not trivial.
In the Valencian Community, it is true that the game is being distributed among the different actors to mobilize all the voters of the progressive political spectrum. Puig is aware that, without a strong Compromís, reissuing the Botànic is a chimera. There are more doubts with Unides Podem, since some surveys speak of the possibility of maintaining the leftist government even without a good result from Podem and the EU. The Valencian barrier of 5% must be overcome to be able to enter the Corts Valencianes.
It is precisely in this space where more movements are taking place and not always in a positive sense. The irruption of Sumar (increased by the prominence of Díaz and the ostracism of Podemos in the debate) can open gaps in a space where Podem and the US have not yet reached an agreement. The former, moreover, are suspicious of the "personalism" of the Vice President of the Government, while the latter will go with everything to the presentation ceremony of their Sumar platform.
All this, while Compromís watches the bulls from the sidelines and also observes them with a certain disparity of opinions. While some point out that "the act of Sumar in Madrid is not a priority for us despite the very good relationship with Yolanda Díaz: we are focused on the 28M", others such as the one from Valencia, Joan Ribó, show their support for the vice president and she feels "ashamed" of those who want to "neglect her and destroy her"
