Four defectors of Cs in the Valencian Cortes go to the PP on the eve of the Married Convention

Four defected deputies from Citizens in the Valencian Community they go to the PP. This was revealed this Wednesday by one of them, Jesus Salmeron, who announced that he will attend personally, along with his three companions, at the closing of the National Convention that will take place in Valencia.

“I will be there on Sunday with my compis supporting the necessary reunification of the political center in Spain, since only in this way will we be able to expel Sánchez de Moncloa and Puig y Compromís from the Generalitat Valenciana, “he said. The defectors have not registered with the PP, but they do not rule out doing so in the future. “For now I do not have thought to join the PP, but I will help as much as possible to kick the PSOE”, he told EL ESPAÑOL.

The four leaders, who resigned from the party last May but did not deliver the act of deputy, will attend the great event of the popular in the company of their state referent, Fran Hervías, as reported this Wednesday Voice of the People. It is, in addition to Salmerón, Cristina Gabarda, José Antonio Martínez and Sunsi Sanchis.

The latter confirmed Salmerón’s announcement on his Twitter profile. “NWe see you on Sunday in the bullring supporting those who will be able to kick Sánchez de Moncloa and Puig de la Generalitat out. This will be possible thanks to the reunification of the Spanish and Valencian center right thanks to Pablo Casado and Carlos Mazón“, he asserted.

The four deputies are disciples of Emilio Argüeso, expelled from the party for his participation in the purchase of wills in favor of the PP in the political cataclysm of Murcia. Those resigned, in a joint letter, attributed their departure to drift from the orange formation. “TAfter a long reflection, “they chose to leave the militancy -but not the act- in order” to continue defending, in freedom, those liberal values ​​that Cs has abandoned. “ “We do it with sadness, but convinced that it is the right thing to do,” they indicated.

By retaining the seat and aligning with the PP, the popular 23 deputies of the chamber come to control compared to 13 of Ciudadanos. The result at the polls was 19 for the PP and 18 for Cs. The Liberals also lost Vicente Fernandez, which went to the unassigned. But there is no evidence that the latter has aligned himself with the other 4 defectors to make the leap to the PP. At least to date.

The movement, in any case, does not pose a threat to the government of Ximo Puig, which retains the absolute majority thanks to the 27 PSPV-PSOE deputies and the support of the 17 from Compromís and the 8 from Unides Podem-EUPV. Vox has the remaining 10 representatives of the 99 that the chamber has.

Sunsi’s betrayal

Of the four Citizen marches, the most surprising was the betrayal of Sunsi Sanchis, which holds the record of early transfuguismo in the Valencian parliament. Until recently, the receptionist at the party’s headquarters in Valencia was next on the Citizens’ electoral list. As such, he was sworn in on April 21 to replace Toni Cantó.

But he resigned just 15 days later with the same arguments used by the actor and his fellow defectors. In your case, with a great contradiction, because it acceded to the Citizens’ act when the censure motions had already been launched.

What happened in Murcia did not prevent him from joining the party and collecting the 35,000 euros gross of the regulatory allocation of the Valencian deputies. However, he did serve as an excuse immediately and then to leave the party considering that he had sold himself to ‘sanchismo’.
