La secretaria general del PSPV, Diana Morant, formaliza su candidatura a las primarias de su partido para optar a la Presidencia de la Generalitat, este jueves en València.

Overview

  • The PSPV's Comisión Nacional de Ética formally proclaimed Diana Morant after the precandidacy period closed on July 3, and it will send the decision to the party's Comisión de Listas for definitive ratification.
  • Morant filed the required precandidacy paperwork earlier this week and has said she will continue serving as Spain's minister of Science, Innovation and Universities for now.
  • She has launched a campaign under the slogan "Recuperar lo que importa," prioritizing education, public health, housing and support for municipalities and victims.
  • A public launch in Gandia drew roughly 500 attendees and top provincial figures, a display the party frames as proof of internal unity behind her bid.
  • The nomination sets up a direct fight with the regional PP and its leader Carlos Mazón ahead of the May 2027 regional election, with the party preparing messaging and coalition strategy to try to reclaim the Generalitat.
