Negotiations begin for a new political movement
These sources assure ECD that what happened in Valencia could be the seed of a future “a political movement that could crystallize into something more”, and that it would be led by Diego Soler and Nora Junco and that it would have the blessing of Italy. Sources close to these two deputies maintain that the Valencia meeting was a first step in this direction. “This is an ongoing conversation, even if nothing is finalized,” they assure Confidencial Digital.

Occupy the political space between PP and Vox in Spain
With a view to the formation of a future political movementthe form of which is still unknown, these sources emphasize that they aspire to occupy a political space that has representation in Europe but not in Spain. It is about finding a space in “the moderate conservative space, more technical, more targeted and less strident” that there would be in Spain between PP and Vox.
However, even though these sources acknowledge that The Valencia summit takes place the beginning of a process aimed at moving towards the construction of a possible new alternative, they insist on the fact that there is still no official announcements of any kind, no works of art, no closed projects. These conversations are found in embryonic phase and there is nothing formalizedbut the intention is to bring to Spain “this political space which is emerging in Europe”.
