The necessary goodbye to Oltra, by Sergi Sol


The push of the Valencian president Ximo Puig had given the final blow to the Valencian vice president Mònica Oltra after being accused of one of those cases that do not allow possible escape or admissible excuse in these times.

He is credited, without further ado, with covering up the abuse of his ex-partner to a girl under guardianship. And although one is innocent until proven otherwise The resignation seems more than logical. Even the withering cease would have proceeded, which was precisely the veiled threat of Ximo Puig. Either he resigned or he fired her. Oltra threatened with a government crisis wanting to obtain the support of Compromís, his political formation. A new mistake, not only for wanting to embarrass his people but also for everything that Valencianism represents on the left who has managed to accumulate great political capital after leaving the catacombs. More so when Oltra represented that new policy that proclaimed the coarseness of corruption and demanded an exemplary attitude in the face of it. At least when he objected. Of course, when it’s your turn, when you’re the one who has to lead by example, everything takes a different turn.

It is not a unique case (that of refusing to resign based on a previous commitment), though the accusation against her is of an embarrassing nature. It is one of those kinds of misdeeds that stain not just a political career but personal dignity, that ruin an entire career.

I wish it wasn’t true! Although whatever happens, the shadow of suspicion will always accompany her. That is unfortunately a consequence of the times in which we live. The complete rehabilitation is an entelechy.

Today, the only reproach should be having resisted resigning by lengthening the agony of an untenable situation It not only damages your reputation and prestige. Also everything that she herself, as a woman of the left, represented. As harsh and unfair as it may be at times -and it would be desirable for it to be this way on this occasion- you have to know how to say goodbye on time. Every second that is lost undermines political credibility unashamedly. And the staff.
