MEP Vicent Marzà will act as host for a meeting that will gather prominent figures from the European sovereignist left, with whom he already shares a group in the European Parliament. He will be joined by the coalition's regional spokesperson, Joan Baldoví, and other party leaders, in a key stronghold for the Valencianists, where they govern in coalition with the PSPV.
The event takes place one year before the municipal and regional elections, aiming to showcase Compromís's solidarity with parties that have achieved significant electoral successes in their respective countries. Among the invited guests are Ireland's Sinn Féin, the Welsh party Plaid Cymru, Galicia's BNG, and the Basque Country's EH Bildu. These parties will discuss Europe's future and the construction of a sovereignist, feminist, and ecological alternative in the face of the rise of the far-right and the exhaustion of the two-party system.
Compromís emphasizes that “parties representing the people, defending social justice and democracy, are regaining governments and leading political change in their territories.” Thus, the coalition positions itself as “the force capable of spearheading in the Valencian Country the same process of change that our allies have achieved in Ireland, Wales, or Corsica.”
“"We often think of Europe from Brussels, but Europe is also built from cities and territories. It is a satisfaction that Gandia will be, during these days, a space for debate about the future we want for our continent."
For Compromís, the meeting is also an opportunity to project its party model: rooted in the territory but with a European vocation and influence, capable of operating comfortably in both grassroots politics and the continent's major debates.
