Oltra's party leaves the primaries up in the air and claims her as a Compromís candidate against Baldoví

• Politics Baldoví's announcement to choose to succeed Oltra unleashes criticism and internal struggle in Compromís

Initiative

, the party in which Mónica Oltra is a member and which is part of the Compromís coalition, is not willing to turn the page and consider the former vice president politically buried.

Accused and withdrawn from public life for the duration of the investigation for the alleged cover-up of the sexual abuse of her ex-husband to a minor under the care of the Generalitat, Oltra's resignation to remain under the media spotlight has reopened the internal battle in Compromís .

Who occupies her space and assumes her leadership is the question that is stressing the coalition.

While in

-the main leg of Compromís- steps are taken to deal with the succession of Oltra, in Initiative they continue to claim her as a candidate.

Just a few days after Joan Baldoví (de Més) made public his intention to opt for the Compromís primaries, the Initiative spokesman stated that "nothing prevents" Oltra from being the candidate for the Generalitat.

, who had already criticized that the deputy in Congress made the announcement when there are four months left for the primaries, has pointed out in an interview in À Punt that Oltra has every right to be the Compromís candidate for the Generalitat.

Apart even from any primary process.

"If the case is filed, I would not understand that we were not the first to claim his figure," Ibáñez insisted, appealing to all the factions of Compromís.

After coming to compare Oltra with the Brazilian Lula, Ibáñez has put on the table a dilemma that could blow up the balance in the coalition.

Compromís has already changed its primary regulations to be able to pick up Oltra at the last minute on the electoral list.

But it is one thing to include his name due to a decision of the executive in a position on the list that is not starting and, quite another, that it was Oltra who occupied the first position regardless of what was previously chosen in primaries .

What the Initiative spokesman has proposed, therefore, is that if Compromís chooses its candidate for the Generalitat in primaries, that the process may be invalidated if Oltra subsequently takes the step of presenting himself.

In other words, if Baldoví is elected in the primaries, that he should finally give up being the candidate in case Oltra later saw the judicial path cleared.

So the internal pulse between Més and Initiative will not only be about who manages to impose Oltra's successor in the primaries (Aitana Mas, from Initiative, is thinking about it), but also what to do with Oltra if the judge lifts the accusation that weighs about her.

In an interview with Efe, Baldoví has ​​not hesitated to place her even outside regional politics: "Oltra would play a frightening role, allow me the expression, in Madrid."

In fact, there are those who consider that if Oltra does not arrive in time for the regional elections, he could do so for the general ones.

But Baldoví does not rule out Oltra as a future member of the Valencian Government if the left manages to reissue its majority.

Of course, she does not see her as a candidate taking into account the slowness of the times of justice.
