The fall of Mónica Oltra ends a black week for Yolanda Díaz's plans.

After the electoral failure of Por Andalucía, the embryo of the broad front that plans to export politics to the national level, the second vice president must now deal with the resignation of her greatest territorial asset.

Sources from the second vice-presidency of the Government assert that Díaz "respects" Oltra's decision, but they move away the moment to publicly pronounce on whether the already former vice-president of the Valencian Government and leader of Compromís fits into the cross-cutting project of the Minister of Labor.

"The platform is of a citizen nature," remark these same sources about

Sumar,

the tour with which in just 20 days it will begin to tour Spain for half a year before configuring the organic structure and its political roadmap.

By then, at the end of 2022, Oltra's judicial situation may have advanced towards other scenarios, but the accumulated wear and tear and his departure from the front line of Valencian politics make it significantly difficult at this time for Díaz to grant him the priority role he outlined for she just a few weeks ago.

In fact, after the accusation of Oltra by the

Valencian Superior Court of Justice was known last Thursday,

Díaz was already marking distances with the Valencian leader.

She avoided giving explicit support and referred to the explanations that she could give on July 6, the date on which she had been summoned as an investigator.

Unless Oltra has not renounced his seat in the Valencian Courts by then, this declaration will no longer take place because he will lose his appraisal.

Díaz's departure was already striking, since his idea was to present Sumar on July 8.

Not in vain, it was Oltra who served the minister on a platter in

Valencia

the platform to launch a first outline of what that broad front built to the left of the PSOE could be.

It was in an

initiative act,

Oltra's party, that brought together the two leaders together with Mónica García and Ada Colau in November.

In other words, Yolanda Díaz linked her project to the future of Mónica Oltra from the first minute.

He did it again recently on another visit to Valencia at the end of May, where he participated in a conference on the four-day working day organized by Compromís from the Regional Employment Secretariat.

“I am looking forward to coming to the Valencian Community and starting to add here as well,” Díaz stated.

Oltra was not yet charged, but the judge had already asked the Valencian Superior Court of Justice to summon her as under investigation after taking statements from 13 officials and technicians from her department for the handling of the complaint of abuse against Oltra's ex-husband. Other by a minor under guardianship.

The paradox is that within Compromís, Oltra has always been the most favorable to an alliance with Díaz, despite the reluctance of many of the

Més

representatives in the Compromís coalition.

In this sector, the bad relations with Podemos that led to an agreement with Íñigo Errejón's Más País are still remembered.

In this sense, given Díaz's doubts that have delayed the launch of his platform, Errejón presented the so-called Turia Agreement at the beginning of May, also in Valencia.

That is to say, an alternative leftist pact that adds Más País, Compromís,

Chunta Aragonesista,

Verdes Equo

and

Més per Mallorca.

It was not a formal electoral agreement, as was made clear, but the door was not closed to anyone (Podemos was not there) if what it was about was looking at elections.

With Oltra out of the game, alliances are yet to be decided.
