Carla Aliño and Loli Benlloch | Valencia (EFE) look at this territory, but be warned: the Region is not “a trophy for anyone”.
Puig has indicated during Los Desayunos of the EFE Agency at the Valencia Bar Association that in the elections on the last Sunday of May, in which he will run for a third term, he would like to have “the widest possible majority”, but they are the citizens who decide and “nothing is written” about the electoral result.
look ahead or go back
The socialist leader assures that at the moment there is a “very positive” assessment in the surveys of the government management that has been carried out in the Valencian Community, for which reason he believes that when the dilemma arises between “looking ahead or returning to the past”, the Valencians “are going to look forward, as they did in 2015 and 2019”.
He affirms that citizens have “every right” to put the note they consider to the Botanic Council, although he hopes that they take into account that “all economic and social indicators have improved” since 2015, and for example foreign investments have multiplied times 120, there are 400,000 more people working and youth unemployment has dropped 18 points.
“I am convinced that we are on the right path so that by 2030 we have the position that the Community deserves,” says Puig, who refuses to be “self-satisfied and self-promoting” or to say that we are in “a happy world”. , because the Valencian society “can much more”.
friendly territory
One of the achievements that he claims is that he has managed to make the Valencian Community “a friendly territory”, without the “radicalities” or the confrontation that exist in other areas, and he attributes this to the fact that everyone here has their opinion and ideas , but there is an element that unites: coexistence.
“We are all aware that the value of coexistence is fundamental, that massive confrontation only produces massive destruction,” says the president, who appreciates the role of social agents and considers that if this way of operating is compared with that of other autonomies it is evident that the Community has done “well”.
Puig insists that an attempt has been made to build “a majority project in which no one feels attacked”, and defends the “extraordinary value” of the fact that there are currently no “major open conflicts” in the Community, the result of the existence of a “broad space” and “active moderation, which does not mean not having conviction”, but understanding “the convictions of others”.
There should be no party governments
In his opinion, the “guarantee” to achieve a third government of the Botànic are “the facts” of a management in which “no one has been left aside” and Valencians have governed “for all”, “think as think”, because in his opinion “there should be no party governments”.
He claims that the “management of diversity” in the tripartite Council of the PSPV-PSOE, Compromís and Unides Podem has been done “in a much more reasonable way than in other areas”, because although there are different opinions, “at the moment of truth , at the time of management”, there has not been a situation of confrontation.
As an example of this, he highlights that the Generalitat has approved eight budgets in due time and form for eight consecutive years, something that “is not easy” and there is “none of the four most important communities in Spain that has achieved it”.
In a more party key, he hopes that the Valencia City Council can have Sandra Gómez as mayor as of May 28, a young woman, with convictions and capacity for integration, since she has done a “solvent job” that she has achieved a long time ago. advance to the city.
Finally, he warns the PP that, although they have “been determined” to seek their “personal discredit” with judicial issues, such as the aid granted by the Generalitat to his brother or the Azud case, they are not going to find a thread to pull from, since honesty and honesty have marked his political experience and his personal life.
