València (EFE).- The Valencian Community is in these general elections a scenario where the PP goes out to “complete the change” after its victory in the regional and municipal elections in May, when it turned around in the Generalitat and the big cities, and the left to recover to stop the PP-Vox front that signed its first government pact here after 28M.
The popular Valencians seek to consolidate the hegemony achieved on 28M and be “key” to lead Alberto Núñez Feijóo to the presidency of the Government of Spain, in which Vox aspires to place Santiago Abascal in the vice presidency, in a distribution of responsibilities similar to that of reached by both parties for the Valencian Government.
The Socialists intend to mobilize the progressive vote so that “the wave of regression” does not reach the Government of Spain and what they describe as the “shame pact” is not replicated there, while Compromís, within the Sumar coalition, wants to be the “Valencian voice” in the transformative left.
The PSPV was the most voted in 2019

In Compromís, integrated in the Sumar coalition, the general secretary of Més Compromís, Àgueda Micó, will try to revalidate the seat for Valencia that Joan Baldoví held from 2011 to 2023, at the front of a list that testimonially closes the excalde Joan Ribó, while in Alicante the representative of Podemos Txema Guijarro repeats “uno”.
Vox leads Carlos Flores Juberías, who was the candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat on 28M and goes to Congress after the PP marked his conviction for mistreatment in 2002 as a “red line” to negotiate the pact. of government in the Generalitat, while the “two” for Castellón is the new president of Les Corts, Llanos Massó.
And Valencia and Alicante are two of the ten provinces of Spain in which the party of the former leader of Vox Macarena Olona, Caminando Juntos, has presented a candidacy for Congress and the Senate.
