There is an agreement by the City Council: Dénia will be "the Valencian capital of progressive policies"

08 June 2023 - 21: 23

After almost two weeks of uncertainty, where rumors have been the order of the day, it seems that Compromís per Dénia has made a decision. And this is perhaps the most difficult they have had to take in the history of the Valencian formation in the city. Form a government with the PSPV, leave them out of the City Council in favor of the right or allow a minority government?

Results of the 2023 local elections in Dénia

The solution, finally, was the most famous. "We have decided to talk with the PSPV to agree on the future of Dénia in a shared way and make it the Valencian capital of progressive policies." Rafa Carrió accepts the hand offered again by Vicent Grimalt and the PSPV of Dénia, for which they will form a team again to carry out the City Council of the city. In this way, the Acord del Castell that took place in the 2015-2019 legislature is reissued, but with great differences.

Although the terms of the agreement have not yet been finalized, Compromís already announced that the conditions would not be the same. At the moment the only thing that is known is through the statement issued by the formation early Thursday night.

Whatever the conditions, the objective of Compromís will undoubtedly be to achieve the visibility and recognition that the work carried out by the group lacked during the Acord del Castell in 2015.

It will be tomorrow when more details of the agreement are known, since both formations will hold a joint press conference to attend the media. But what is already known is that Dénia will be, as Compromís pointed out in its statement, "Botanical territory".

A difficult decision

Considering the recent past of the formation, the decision was very difficult. Compromís was penalized from the last Acord del Castell with which they governed together with the PSPV. Something that did not happen to their partners, since they repeated with an absolute majority. After this, they tried their luck as the first opposition force, which did not translate into greater electoral support either. Taking this into account, they were the ones who had to decide what to expect.

The voices against and in favor of any of the decisions were already expected by the formation of Rafa Carrió. However, after several days of meetings and, surely, a lot of reflection, they have taken the step and have decided to bet everything on a progressive government.
