Jorge Alart Plans

The saying goes that those who do not is because they want comfort. Something happens that the Socialist leader, Jorge Alart, before the polls are predicting a heavy defeat PSPV-PSOE in the upcoming regional elections. Its soothing is that only one percent over Valencia (40%) prefer as president of the Francisco Camps that he (39%).

Cold comfort for someone who, at 37 years-meets next Tuesday, day 19 -, has not lost any election or for mayor of Alaquàs or the general secretariat of the party.

That constant adversity polls, their lack of presence in Les Corts Joan Ignasi Pla-not deliberately included in the lists of deputies autonomous in 2007 - and still be a perfect stranger who knows only 22% of the voters-had very clear since his election as general secretary of PSOE PSPV-two years ago that the horizon were the elections of 2015.

And is that policy-to be asked to Mariano Rajoy, is a slow and steady process, whose results are obtained in the medium term.

On this journey thorough, calm and persevering during which he used to bring order to his unruly party-was missing suddenly crossed his path in the Gürtel case, which splashed the PP with the president in front, and made him rush in its strategy. Big mistake: all the diatribes that since then, week after week, launched the Socialist spokesman? Angel Luna, from the rostrum of Les Corts bounce off a public numbed to the scandals.

If you choose this monotema opposition is attributable to failure PSPV leader, has been the worst foreign trip, caused by the collapse of the credibility of Rodriguez Zapatero, who, in the words of one of its coming, "lately, every time you open screws up his mouth. "

So when in May last Jorge Alart happy they promised 11-day presented an ambitious plan to regenerate the economy and the 12th Valencian Supreme Court ordered the reopening of the case Camps suits, it appears that 13 days Zapatero presented an array of brutal cuts in civil servants, pensioners and public investment. The debacle.

Since then, the best thing they can think of many socialist barons, with José María Barreda manchego front, distance as possible from the discredited ZP.

That is, the more conviction than convenience, Jorge Alart, with a program Valencia own protest against the central government on issues of funding, the Tajo-Segura, Castilian-Manchego statute ... that, regardless of their degree goodness, finding widespread dissemination difficulties given the systematic hostility, if not ominous silence, some media, with Canal Nou to the head. If that occurred systematically and in times of Pedro Garcia, with his successor, López Jaraba, this policy has reached a level of virtuosity.

Given the obstacles own demerits of others, including the aforementioned discredit Zapatero, seems ruled PSPV a victory next May. Something similar will probably happen for the PSOE in most regions. If the results are worse than PSPV half of socialism in the rest of Spain, Alart goodbye to the project. If, however, are above-counting also with outstanding legal issues-the assault of Jorge Alart the Palau de la Generalitat in 2015 would be no illusion.
