• Politics The Valencian Government did not even address the dismissal of Oltra at its weekly meeting

  • After the accusation, Oltra says that he does not resign because he has to "defend democracy" against "fascism"

48 hours after the accusation of Mónica Oltra and 24 hours after she reaffirmed her intention not to resign as spokesperson and vice president of the

Generalitat Valenciana

,

Compromís

has started its own pre-election campaign.

With a standing ovation for their leader, with hugs, with a party band and as if nothing had happened.

To the rhythm of the music, dancing and in a true act of reaffirmation: "We bother and that's why they want us to disappear."

The words, much applauded, have been said by the deputy in Congress

Joan Baldoví

, but it has been the general tone of a rally in which the undisputed star has been the leader herself.

Oltra, to whom she has been very moved, has even replied to the president of the Generalitat: "Reflecting is always good."

On Friday, hours after the Oltra press conference, Ximo Puig asked to reflect and make decisions.

At the moment, it does not seem that there will be any, because the mayor of Valencia and one of the referents of Compromís,

Joan Ribó

, has amended his own words.

On Friday, the official speech of Oltra's closed defense was minimally removed, asking for a Compromís meeting to decide "collectively" on the leader's future.

This Saturday he wanted to clear up any doubts: "Mónica, you have been essential and you will continue to be essential".

Oltra herself got on stage while "no tenim por" (we are not afraid) was sung to address her family first.

To his mother ("Mom, I have never strayed from the values ​​in which you and your father raised me") and to his children ("The important thing is that you recognize yourself in the mirror the way we have educated you at home: you can go with your head held high").

Oltra has insisted on the idea that in Compromís "they are dangerous" to justify that they are being the object of a campaign by the extreme right.

"It's a way to intimidate people who want to make decent policies," he said, citing the judicial persecution of the

chemsex

campaign as an example .

The example has served him to even criticize the excess of punitiveness: "There will come a day when lightning will strike and they will charge the mayor."

And with the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Superior Court of Justice accusing her of possible cover-up of her ex-husband's abuse of a minor to protect him and her political career, Oltra stated: "We generated the idea that everything that happens has a person in charge".

Compromís, furthermore, has already threatened Puig with breaking the government pact if he unilaterally dismisses Oltra.

And the leader herself has confirmed it: "The Botànic [the three-way pact with

PSOE

and

United We Can

] is not Botànic if it is not with Compromís. The Botànic without Compromís is

García-Page

".

Baldoví has ​​used one of the most famous slogans of feminism to defend Oltra, despite the fact that he has been designated as one of his successors (the other, former Minister

Vicent Marzà

, has not been seen in the act) and has been without a doubt the most acclaimed.

"If they touch one of us, they touch us all", he has summed up.

That is, the "attack" on Oltra is an attack on all Compromís.

The end of the party has been put by Oltra: "Our project is the vindication of life and joy. Love each other. I also love you very much," he concluded.
