• Oltra resigns from the Government and the Valencian Courts after being accused of covering up the sexual abuse of her ex-husband

Aitana Mas

will finally be the person who replaces Mónica Oltra in the

Valencian Government

.

In addition, as the Compromís executive had decided at its meeting on Tuesday, after the former vice president presented her resignation, she will be the one to bring together the three positions held by Oltra: spokesperson, vice president and Minister of Equality of the Generalitat.

Until now, the deputy spokesperson for

Compromís

in the

Valencian Courts

is a person of the highest confidence of Oltra.

Not in vain, in Compromís she is from the Initiative

quota

, Oltra's party.

If at the time she was appointed as the natural successor to

Fran Ferri

as the spokesperson for the Cortes when he resigned his seat, Mas will now have to assume an even more complex role in Compromís: the replacement of the person who has set the pace and the nature of relations with the main government partner, the

PSOE

.

The announcement that her name was the final choice of the coalition has been long in coming since, according to some sources, she has shown some reluctance.

In any case, it is a consensus profile between the different legs of Compromís (

Més

, the majority party, Initiative and

Els Verds

).

The ratification of this woman from Alicante as Oltra's successor in the Consell also implies that the parties of the Valencian coalition maintain the balance of forces in the different institutions.

If

Papi Robles

maintained the spokesperson for the Cortes for Més, Aitana Mas will retain leadership in the Consell for Initiative.

The mayor of Valencia himself,

Joan Ribó

, had confirmed that the name of Mas was in all the pools.

Some and others highlight her solvency and her ability to work, in addition to the fact that she already participated in the first Government of the Botànic as general director of Transparency.

At the last Initiative congress she was elected, along with

Alberto Ibáñez

, co-spokesperson for the group.

The president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, had already said that he would accept the name proposed by Compromís to occupy the vacant position of Oltra.

As soon as it is ratified, Mas will become the new

number two

of the Valencian Executive.
