The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, knows that his best asset ahead of the regional elections is the national context. With a situation that, according to all polls, predicts a political change in Spain, the Valencian leader has chosen to emphasize at this start of the political course the key points that mark the state debate. Yesterday was a good example.

The popular leader traveled to the city of Elx to defend one of his party’s historical demands in the Valencian Community: the water transfers. But even on this issue, Llorca sought a national argument to strengthen his narrative. After once again demanding that the central government guarantee the water contributions from the Tagus to the Segura, the president took advantage of the situation and the Ceuta crisis to criticize Pedro Sánchez’s government for an alleged favoritism towards Morocco. Llorca pointed out that it is “nonsense” that the Spanish government “financially supports Morocco to cover its water transfers.” “As you hear, to Morocco, with everything that is happening,” emphasized the head of the Consell, who wondered what political motivations, in his opinion, lead Sánchez to defend the transfers in the neighboring country and not in the Valencian Community.

This Ceutification of Valencian politics is not new. Already on Thursday, the mayor of Valencia, María José Catalá, took advantage of the serious situation in the autonomous city and blamed the government’s “open-door migration policy” for the situation in the shantytown settlement of the former Formula 1 circuit. Ceuta has become one of the recurring topics also for the Valencian PP, which focused on the demonstrations in support of the city and criticism of Pedro Sánchez on the 2nd.
And the PPCV leaders feel comfortable on the national stage. Yesterday, before the Valencian popular party’s political course start dinner held in El Puig, Llorca highlighted that a new stage begins with work, commitment, and determination, in which the organization “will give its all to help Alberto Núñez Feijóo reach Moncloa as soon as possible.”

The leader emphasized that “the national political situation is unsustainable” and that “the recent Ceuta crisis has once again highlighted the lack of foresight, leadership, and response capacity of a government increasingly overwhelmed by the major problems affecting Spain.” Faced with this uncertainty, he assured that “the PP offers stability, responsibility, and a viable government alternative.” And regarding his responsibilities, he highlighted that the contribution of the Valencian Community “will be decisive to achieve a victory for the Popular Party in the upcoming general elections and open a new political stage in Spain.”
In the midst of the debate about his candidacy for the Presidency of the Generalitat Valenciana and lacking an official confirmation that is delayed sine die, Llorca insisted on the idea that the result in the Valencian Community is key in the Spanish political landscape.
