Oltra Reemerges at EUPV Feminism Event as Valencian Left Courts Her

Her measured reappearance, following eased legal pressures, is prompting open courting by left parties ahead of 2027.

Overview

  • Ex–vice president Mónica Oltra took part in a feminism forum at Esquerra Unida’s Valencia headquarters, marking her highest‑profile public appearance since her 2022 resignation.
  • Oltra framed feminism as antifascist and anticapitalist, warning that it is now acceptable for some to display fascist identities and decrying the relentless scrutiny faced by women in politics.
  • The panel featured EUPV leader Rosa Pérez Garijo, minister Sira Rego, CCOO‑PV’s Ana García Alcolea, Intersindical’s Beatriu Cardona and Acció Cultural’s Anna Oliver.
  • EUPV and figures within Iniciativa/Compromís are exploring alliances, with some in Iniciativa floating either her return to lead Compromís or a broader platform that includes EUPV.
  • Other groups, including Ens Uneix, have publicly offered roles such as a Valencia mayoral run, but Oltra has not committed and no candidacy or pact has been announced.
