Does progressive sovereignty avoid discussing the management of migration flows and their impact on social cohesion, housing availability, or the marginalization of Catalan? Or, on the contrary, does conservative nationalism—intentionally or not—join in the criminalization of foreigners? Parties like Aliança Catalana and Vox are rising in the polls with an exclusionary discourse that prioritizes Catalans or Spaniards and often criminalizes immigrants. They also benefit from powerful platforms like Trumpism and its extensive media coverage. This growth has repercussions in neighboring territories.</p>]]></description>

Publicly, the Valencianists have always supported the progressive leader, but those around Oltra reproach them for this defense having occurred "only behind closed doors." Since June 21, 2022, the distance between the former vice president and her coalition partners has continued to grow. The gap has been widened by the fact that in recent years Más has consolidated its position of dominance over Compromís. Previously, the nationalists shared power with an Iniciativa party with far fewer members, but which enjoyed Oltra's electoral appeal. Now, however, they assert their majority, and the best example of how the mess is growing has been the split within the coalition in Congress. "She no longer feels represented by the current Commitment. And neither does Initiative," the same sources at ARA explain. Therefore, Mónica Oltra is now considering returning to the front line under the umbrella of another political project.</p>]]></description>

This was confirmed by the results of the consultation held this Monday within the party's national council, which validated the strategy of the Valencian executive, which has been urging its members to take this step for weeks. The result of the vote was 190 votes in favor (92.68%), 8 abstentions (3.9%), and 7 votes against (3.41%). Turnout rose to 88.74%.</p>]]></description>
