In Catalonia, the electoral outlook for the socialists is worrying, as the polls predict. In addition to the possible significant loss of electoral support at the regional level, the PSOE is concerned about the failure it could achieve in the 2015 general elections. The latest public poll in Catalan lands is devastating for the socialists. The Political Barometer of Catalonia of the Cabinet of Social Studies and Public Opinion (GESOP) confirms ERC as the first political force, relegating CiU to second place and placing Ciutadans as the third political force. As for the PSC, it foresees a growing fall, placing it in fourth place and losing 5 seats, the same as the PP, which would be the fifth political force, would lose. The sovereign challenge catapults ERC The sovereignty challenge launched by the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Artur Mas, continues to benefit ERC , which would now receive one in four CiU voters in the last elections. The transfers of votes from CiU to the PSC and PP are irrelevant, and the highest rated leader is that of ERC, Oriol Junqueras , above Artur Mas. With this political scenario, which is considered solid, Ferraz assumes that he can receive little from the Catalan socialists in the next three electoral calls: the European elections of 2014 and the regional and general elections of 2015 . Elena Valenciano, decisive in Ferraz's change The perspectives in Valencian lands are very different, not because the PSPV obtains an increase in votes, but because of the fact that it can lead a tripartite that governs the Valencian Community. If the socialists come to govern in Valencian lands, the push for the general elections at the end of 2015 is taken for granted in the party.
At Ferraz they are aware that the greatest difficulty in achieving power in the Valencian Community is, once again, the division between its leaders , now personified in Ximo Puig and Francesc Romeu: the first symbolizes continuity; the second, the change. The V Phone Number List alencian primaries will finally be held in February, and – as El Confidencial Digital has learned – the aim is to reach that event with an agreement between Puig and Romeo. The task has been entrusted to the deputy secretary general of the PSOE, Elena Valenciano , with her family residence in Altea (Alicante), who is already closely following this process. Valenciano's opinion has been key to changing the strategy of the federal leadership, putting the results in Valencian lands before supporting the Catalan socialists, according to the sources consulted. The unity of the Valencian federation, in order to avoid an “ open war ” during the primaries, is now a priority objective for Ferraz, so that the PSPV emerges reinforced with options to be an alternative to the PP. Romeu gains positions The federal leadership of the PSOE, as we say, is betting on an agreement between Ximo Puig and Francesc Romeu , general secretary of the Valencian socialists and spokesperson, respectively. Ferraz is insisting that both parties reach an agreement , so as to avoid the breakup of the socialist formation in the internal electoral process.

Ximo Puig seems the natural candidate, but there is reluctance in Ferraz because he embodies Lermista continuity, a sector that has no prestige in Madrid. Nor have some forgotten Puig's support for Carme Chacón to challenge Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba for the general secretaryship, despite Puig's skillful moves to present himself as “Rubalcaba's candidate” in the Valencian Community. In Madrid, a possible pact gains options by which Romeu would be the candidate for the Generalitat and Puig would retain the general secretary and opt to preside over the Valencian Cortes. Puig, as this digital has learned, does not accept, today, this possible pact, and Romeu prefers silence , as ECD has verified .To date, neither the general secretary nor Mariano Rajoy have commented on this matter, so the PP list for the European elections will not be known until March.As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the UN Committee against Forced Disappearances will examine this Tuesday, November 5, Spain's application of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons against Forced Disappeara International Convention for the protection of all people against forced disappearances, approved on December 20, 2006 by the UN General Assembly, obliges Spain to “ create a truth commission on crimes of law.” international committed during the civil war and Franco's regime . In accordance with article 29 of the Convention, on December 26 of last year, Spain presented a report to the UN Committee on Forced Disappearances regarding the measures that have been adopted to comply with the obligations of the Convention. The UN Committee against Forced Disappearances will analyze on Tuesday the report presented by Spain, as well as the possibility of creating the “truth commission” claimed by Baltasar Garzón. The former magistrate's foundation has been campaigning for weeks to get the United Nations to force Spain to create said commission .
