The National Council of Més Compromís, meeting in València, has unanimously approved a proposal by its president, Joan Baldoví, to demand the resignation of the Valencian Government and the "immediate" call for early elections.

The party considers "manifest negligence, ineptitude, and incompetence" to be proven against the PP executive, which is maintained "thanks to the support of Vox." Joan Baldoví stated that "we have a dignified people who deserve a decent government" and that "the time has come to return the voice to the Valencians" so that citizens can decide the future of the Valencian Community.
Baldoví cited the "solidary" response of Valencian society during the DANA and the citizen mobilization demanding political accountability for the catastrophe's management as examples. He denounced that the PP government, along with Vox, "has not lived up to the Valencian people" and criticized its "negligent actions before, during, and after" the DANA, which caused 230 fatalities in the province of València.
He also criticized the "inability to address citizens' main problems," such as access to housing, the deterioration of public healthcare and education, the rising cost of living, and public transport deficiencies. The call for resignation is justified, according to Baldoví, because the Consell "acted negligently on the day of the DANA," as "proven" by WhatsApp messages from members of the regional executive on October 29, 2024, which have been incorporated into the judicial investigation.
The president of Més Compromís added that the government "attacks public services," the Valencian language, and culture, "does not respect institutions, nor the Valencian Academy of Language, nor the Valencian Courts," and accused them of "colonizing" À Punt and the Anti-Fraud Agency. The approved proposal also criticizes "cuts to public services, denialism regarding gender-based violence and the climate emergency, and an economic model that generates precariousness and inequality while prioritizing private interests."
Més Compromís believes that the change at the head of the Generalitat, with the appointment of Juanfran Pérez Llorca after Carlos Mazón's departure, occurred "through a backroom deal in Madrid" between Feijóo and Abascal, and regrets that both parties "prevented Valencians from having their say at the ballot box." Baldoví described Pérez Llorca as "a president by accident, weak, feeble," and urged him, "if he had any dignity," to resign so the people could choose the government to lead for the next four years.
Baldoví concluded that the Valencian Community needs to "open a new chapter" based on "strengthening public services, the right to housing, respect and reparation for DANA victims, the fight against corruption, the defense of self-government, its own language and culture, a just ecological transition, and policies designed for the social majority."
