The expectation of a congress is dilated until another year at least depending on what happens with the Moncloa
Blue summer will have it Ximo Puig. The expectation for the socialist leadership before the general elections last Sunday was a hectic summer, of preparation for a period of congresses in a pre-war climate, but the result obtained against all odds alters the framework. The internal situation of socialism in Valencia, moved in the underground waters, enters a stage of lethargy and gives Puig a margin to think about the future with organic peace. Otherwise it would be a surprise.
In the current context, of complicated government formation or even of electoral repetition, any destabilizing movement in one of the socialist vote barns such as the C. Valenciana, will not have the protection, nor the understanding, of Ferraz. And so it is difficult to imagine destabilizing movements taking place.
After the result on Sunday, the federal congress of the Socialists will not take place, at the earliest, until well into 2024. And that in the event that everything goes wrong and the PP could govern in some way, with or without electoral repetition. This means that an extraordinary PSPV congress will not foreseeably take place before the second half of 2024. If Sánchez forms an Executive (the same, with or without a repetition of elections), the margin may be greater and it could wait until the ordinary one, which would take place in 2025.
Somehow, the result of 23J (also in the Valencian Communitywith a growth of 4.5% and 150,000 votes compared to 2019) It is a psychic injection and also polishes the data obtained by the party in the regional elections in May, when the Consell lost despite advancing in votes and seats and a good social evaluation in the polls of Puig and his management.
Puig’s decisions yesterday in the socialist executive (with the appointments of two people of his complete confidence, Pilar Bernabé and Rocío Briones) are designed in this key of stability, under the premise that the party will go to an ordinary congress and far from a context of internal war. The inertia in these moments is of continuity.
And if Sánchez finally forms a government, Puig will be It also opens the door to try to favor some appointments to State posts for the sake of the ‘moral debt’ of the leader of the PSOE with the territories where the party has been out of power due to the wave of rejection of the Executive of Spain that came from Madrid.
