The Vice President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Monica Oltra, refuses to resign and maintains all his public positions. The leader of Compromís has appeared before the media as spokesperson for the Executive chaired by the socialist Ximo Puigwho at the moment keeps her in her responsibilities charges despite her summons to testify as a defendant before the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community that investigates an alleged cover-up of the case of sexual abuse of a minor under the guardianship of the Generalitat for which he was convicted to a sentence of five years in prison Luis Eduardo Ramírez Icardi, ex-husband of Monica Oltra.

The vice-president of the Generalitat has arrived at the plenary meeting escorted by the other three members of compromise who are part of the regional Executive, who have thus staged Compromís’s support for what has been their benchmark in the last two legislatures.

A closing of ranks that has been verbalized by the coalition spokeswoman, Agueda Micowho has threatened Ximo Puig with breaking the government pact with the PSPV-PSOE if it “unilaterally” forces the dismissal of Mónica Oltra. Asked about it, the vice president of the Generalitat has said that she is not going to “contribute to increasing the pressure.”

In the event that the coalition Executive that forms the PSPV-PSOE, Compromís and Podemos blown up, the Socialists would face the final stretch of the legislature in a minority. Ximo Puigwho is initially inclined to wait for his vice president to testify before the TSJ on July 6 before making a decision, has the power to advance the elections, initially scheduled for the last Sunday of May next year.
