No socialist regional president, except the host Puig, will accompany Sánchez to the Municipal Convention of the PSOE. Ximo Puig will be, in principle and in the absence of last-minute agenda changes, the only regional president present at the municipal convention in Valencia.

It will be the great socialist act of pre-campaign, but that will be tarnished by the absences. The purpose of the barons is also to demonstrate, as Emiliano García-Page has explained, that in front of PP candidates, they are autonomous and free to decide and act.
