Catalá forms a "provisional" government team with seven of its councilors at the head of large areas

The new mayoress of Valencia, María José Catalá, signed last Sunday the decree with which her first provisional government is formed to “activate the management” while waiting to design a definitive structure and, despite her intention to govern in a minority, evaluate if it is possible to avoid the need to integrate Vox to have an absolute majority.

The Law granted him 30 days to communicate the delegations, but Catalá immediately started dividing the City Council into seven large blocks of services and puts one of his councilors in charge of each one “provisionally”. The strong woman of this first government will be María José Ferrer San Segundo. She will be the first deputy mayor, the secretary of the Governing Board and the councilor of the Treasury and Participation area.

Another woman, Julia Climent, will be the second lieutenant and will lead the Human and Technical Resources area.. The third will be Juan Giner, to whom Catalá delegates another area of vital importance: Urbanism and Housing.

Economy and Major Projects, among which is the unblocking of the New Mestalla and the management of La Marina, will be in the hands of Paula Llobet, with the help in the coordination of José Mari Olano, who throughout the campaign has aimed to be the spokesperson for these two large projects that will be the focus for having been the workhorse of the previous municipal government.

The municipal spokesman, Juan Carlos Caballero, will also be responsible for the Environment services, with the collaboration of Carlos Mundina, who will also help Jesús Carbonell in the area of Mobility and Citizen Security. Carbonell is one of the star incorporations of Catalá precisely because of his knowledge of mobility as number two of the Valencia Metropolitan Transport Authority.

The last major area will be Social Welfare and Culture, headed by Santiago Ballester and which will also include José Luis Moreno, head of the film archive of the Institut Valencià de Cultura, Marta Torrado and the former Councilor for Citizens and Fallera Mayor of Valencia, Rocío Gil. In this delegation, without further detail, all the decisions about Fallas will fall, starting with who will preside over the Junta Central Fallera.

With this decree, Catalá intends to give an immediate boost to the management “and become aware of the current state of the needs of the different management services so as not to delay any action while the government is structured”. This restructuring has no date and will be subject to the moment in which the mayoress decides if she sits down to speak with Vox to give them entry into her government and thus guarantee the secure support of the votes of the four Vox councilors that she needs to carry out the measures. that you want to start.
