The Alicante PSOE is set to make its presence felt at the XV PSPV Congress taking place this weekend in Valencia. As the largest socialist group in the region by membership, it played a significant role in the election of Diana Morant in Benicàssim over a year ago.

Regardless of whether it gains representation in the new executive that the Gandia native will present this Sunday, the Alicante socialists will use this congress to unveil their new project for the city of Alicante. They will do so through the 108 amendments they have submitted to the PSPV's political paper being debated this weekend in Valencia.

Many of these will be part of the electoral programme that the socialists will present for the 2027 municipal elections. Another key point is not just the discussion of the initiatives that the Alicante PSOE will bring, but who will present them: the congress will be the first major platform to introduce Quico Fenollar. The former mayor of Alcoleja and director of the Mental Health area at the Alcoi Hospital will take centre stage in the coming months as the general secretary of the PSOE in Alicante, when the local congress is convened, giving him every chance to be the socialist candidate in 2027.

This is the option that the majority sector of the group, led by Ángel Franco, has been considering for weeks. Franco has backed the young doctor to compete for the Alicante mayoralty against the popular Luis Barcala. Now, he is already gaining public prominence.

Fenollar himself has presented the socialist proposals to the congress in several videos published by the Alicante PSOE. Among the initiatives is the creation of a new Tram line to Urbanova; improving the N-332 in the section between Santa Faz and the Gibeller roundabout which provides access to the San Juan Hospital (where there is already a project to tunnel it that has yet to come to fruition) or the creation of a large coastal promenade in San Gabriel following the removal of the coastal tracks.

Among the papers presented by the Alicante PSOE to the socialist conclave is one, signed by Ángel Franco himself, to make the Valencian Community a key territory for the development of Artificial Intelligence: "The Valencian Community has all the ingredients to lead the development of artificial intelligence in Spain," states the proposal, which calls for the creation of "a comprehensive strategy" involving "administrations, universities, and companies to build a sustainable and inclusive AI ecosystem."
