The transfer of portfolios between the two Compromís policies (both are part of the Initiative party that is integrated into the coalition) will take place this Thursday. Aitana Mas was traveling abroad when it was reported that she would take over from Oltra and contracted coronavirus, which, together with the delay in the decree that formalized the departure of her predecessor, delayed the process.
Mónica Oltra also made effective her resignation from her deputy act last week, with which the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community suspended her statement as a defendant, scheduled for July 6. By losing her status as an appraisal, the procedural situation of the already former vice president of the Generalitat remains in the hands of the Court of Instruction number 15 of Valencia.
