PSPV-PSOE Secretary General and Minister of Science, Diana Morant, stresses that the only way out of the current political situation in the Valencian Community is to call early elections. On Thursday, he repeated this again and rejected as a mere “pretext” the recent proposal made by the leader of the Vox party, Santiago Abascal, to the head of government, the socialist Pedro Sánchez, in Congress, to impose an electoral advance in Valencia if he called a general election. “It is an excuse for Mr. Abascal and Mr. (Alberto Nunez) Viejo to continue to maintain Status quo To rule here. I am very sorry, but the government that left 229 deaths is the Valencian government led by the People’s Party and supported by the Vox Party. This situation is not that of the Government of Spain,” he said, referring to the Dana administration on October 29, 2024.
Before speaking in Congress 100xScience9. At the Caixa Forum in Valencia, Morant strongly criticized the “simplicity and populism” of the Vox party president for asking the Popular Party candidate to replace Carlos Mazón as president. president From the state, Juanfran Pérez Yurca, to commit to demanding the construction of “dams and dikes” in the Valencian region if common They want their party’s support to invest in it.
In any case, Morant emphasized that the agreement between the People’s Party and Vox to exhaust the community’s legislature and avoid elections is “declared and more than fixed” and “everything else is theatre”, while insisting that “the only solution is the election call.” This Saturday, Morant, the Secretary of the Organization of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party, Rebeca Toro, and the Minister of Equality of the Socialist Workers Party and candidate for Mayor of Valencia, Pilar Bernabe, will participate in an event in Valencia to mobilize citizens in their demand for early elections.
The minister asserts that the PP-Vox negotiations involve a “return to the original sin” regarding climate change that has been linked to the Dana administration by the Consell de Mazón: “The first time they had to confront a climate emergency of these proportions, they failed miserably, and in a dramatic way.” He accused the council of being a “negligent and denial government” because it “possessed scientific evidence and scientific warnings, and it left 229 people to die.” This is why he “frankly” rejected the idea that the solution “to the greatest political crisis that the Valencian Community has ever experienced is once again a denialist alliance between the People’s Party and Vox.”
He added: “No matter how many dams we build, no matter how much we improve the valleys, the incident that happened in Dana is practically what they call in emergency situations a scenario that is considered lost. There are meteorological events caused specifically by climate change that cannot be stopped. Therefore, the great solution, the only solution, is to warn people.” “The government of Spain will implement these works. We are committed and they are necessary, especially for rain events that are not as large as these. But if this happens to us, what we have to do, beyond the hydraulic infrastructure, which could be overwhelmed, is to alert the population and protect them. This has not been done,” he stressed.
Regarding the state of the negotiations between the People’s Party and Vox, which must end before next Wednesday, Morant stressed that the people of Abascal are “very happy” because “they are the ones in charge” and will be able to impose their conditions on the “popular party.” In his opinion, this showed that “Figo has become the leader of the People’s Party with the least leadership that exists in this country”, which was linked to the fact that the President of Extremadura, Maria Guardiola, called for regional elections “because she does not want to submit to Vox’s requests.” He demanded “to know all the negotiations” between the PP and Vox with the Lights and the Reducers, although he asserted that the Socialists rejected them because “Pérez Jurca and Mzon are one and the same, and that could be extended to all” representatives of both parties.
On the judicial level, he highlighted that Perez Yurca will appear next week as a witness before the investigating judge in the Dana administration because “he was the one who spoke with Mazzone before he entered Sekopi, so he is part of that neglectful and useless team.” He emphasized: “And when I say useless, this is not an insult: it means that it was absolutely useless.”
He also highlighted the upcoming witness statement by Acting Vice President and Social Services Secretary Susana Camarero before a judge and in the congressional Aldana investigation committee. She stated that Camarero “hid the fact that she was connected to Cecopi in some way connected“She went to distribute awards while people were dying in nursing homes and without help in the telecare service.” The socialist leader recalled transcripts of calls recorded in the telecare service from users and relatives this afternoon, which emerged this Wednesday after they were sent to the Cattarooga coroner. “You could hear the agony of the deceased and those who were answering those calls, who saw that there was no one on the other side,” she said.
