The Minister of Education, Vicent Marzà, with President Puig at the Palau.


More Commitment has agreed this Friday that Vicent Marzà continue as Minister of Education and do not run as a substitute for Fran Ferri at the head of the Compromís group in the Cortes, spokesperson for which they have chosen the deputy Papi Robles. This has been established by the permanent executive of Més Compromís (former Bloc) in a meeting in which Marzà himself has participated as a member of the same. The new Catalan Ombudsman will be elected at a meeting of the Compromís group in the Cortes on next Tuesday 11, at 1:00 p.m., a few days before Ferri leaves the minutes, as he announced before Christmas, to return to the world of work. Although it had been considered that Marzà could leave the Ministry to succeed Ferri, finally the party has agreed that the situation of the pandemic, child vaccination and going back to school after Christmas in the middle of the sixth wave of coronavirus force him to continue “by responsibility” at the head of the Department of Education, they explain from Més to Europa Press. According to these sources, the possibility of Marzà as Catalan Ombudsman in Les Corts was on the table from the beginning and had positive and negative points, so they have studied it “long and hard” at the meeting until agreeing that he continues to lead the Conselleria and there is no remodeling of the Botanic Government. From there, Més has analyzed who of his deputies is the most suitable as a Catalan Ombudsman and has chosen Papi Robles for being the one who obtained the most support in the 2019 primaries – after the president of the Cortes, Enric Morera, and Ferri himself – and to maintain the provincial balance with a representative from Valencia leading the group. In the party they hope to reach a consensus on this decision without discrepancies with the rest of the coalition (Initiative Y The Greens) at the meeting next Tuesday, as they recall that they have “never” reached a vote on a decision like this. For its part, from Iniciativa, the deputy spokesperson for Compromís Aitana Mas He made himself available to his group after Ferri’s departure and recalled that he appeared in a primary in Alicante “precisely to lead a political project.”
