The 13th of the Albufera

I have always been passionate about American politics in its conception of seeking agreements beyond party affiliation. A president of the USA who promotes a law that must then be approved by Congress, is not assured by electoral discipline that the members of Congress of his party will support him, nor vice versa, nor does he find the unconditional “no” of his rivals for the fact that he is a Democrat and another Republican. Taking Biden’s current term as an example, the Capitol has approved regulations and resolutions with the support of Republicans and the opposition of Democratic congressmen. Policy In pure stateIt should always be like this. Your “own” people will be closer but they will only support you if you convince them, and your opponents might end up giving you the vote after negotiation.

Fortunately, we did not have to cross the Atlantic to witness a situation of political agreement in the Valencian Community in favour of the common good. 13 municipal councils from the province of Valencia, 13 mayors of the municipalities belonging to the Natural Park of the The Albufera signed an agreement to jointly demand that UNESCO recognize the Albufera as reservation of the Biosphere. Mayors of the PPCV, PSPV, Compromís or Sueca per Davant. Different sensitivities and many pressures have been resolved through a historic agreement. One asset is above all the Albufera Natural Park, and its mayors have been able to put partisan interests aside. Congratulations and thank you.

In the meantime, the question and at the same time I hope, is that the pact for the Albufera is not an isolated event. The “crisis rooms” of the parties should assess that agreements like the one reached yesterday in La Lonja in Valencia are, demographically, more profitable than confrontation, and more constructive than permanent attack. But above all, it is more responsible, and that is the reason why a politician comes to office, to serve the citizens, something that unfortunately many quickly forget.
