Ximo Puig meditates a remodeling of the Consell to "give a new impetus to the action of the Government"

• PSPV Puig also loses his number 2 in the match: Mata leaves the management

• Resignation The socialist spokesman resigns to focus on the defense of the leader of Azud

The need to replace the PSPV spokesman in Parliament, Manolo Mata, has plunged

into a "reflection process" that could cause changes that go beyond parliament.

A possible remodeling of the Consell haunts the president's mind, who publicly admits for the first time that he values ​​it.

"It is true that there are circumstances in which it could occur, but it does not necessarily have to happen. It is a moment of reflection," Puig assured in an act on Europe Day.

The head of Consell has only retouched the socialist portfolios of his government in the middle of the legislature in one case: the departure of

from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry.

The other relay, of

in Territorial Policy for

, occurred after the 2019 elections. The rest are the same ones who started the Botánic government in 2015.

This possibility of change in the Consell linked Puig to the election of the new spokesman in the Cortes.

"I will begin a process of reflection and, before the next plenary session, there will be a new trustee and we will see how we can give a new one to give new impetus to government action," the president warned.

One of the candidates who point to a possible replacement for Mata is the current Minister of Health,

.

President of the PSPV and with extensive parliamentary experience (she was attached to Mata before entering the Government), the president had resisted her possible departure, shuffled for a long time due to the wear and tear of managing the pandemic, a position that is no longer it seems so firm.

However, Barceló is one of the names that the PSPV is also considering for mayor of

, so his activity as spokesperson would be difficult to reconcile with the candidacy with the elections just around the corner.

What Puig is clear about is that there will be no replacement of Mata in the deputy secretary general of the PSPV.

Her functions will be fully assumed by the other deputy secretary,

.

Puig thanked Mata for his work and considered him "an asset" to the party, "which makes a parenthesis that has to do with his vocation as a lawyer."

The president also highlighted his resignation to "end this incompatibility that exists from an ethical point of view", and launched a message: "I would ask all groups to have the same conscience to revitalize democracy, that there be no zones of darkness that occur when there are people who are part of the scenario that has produced this situation".

His allusion could go directly to the PP charges, such as

, who appear involved in the Azud summary, although they have not been formally charged.
