PP and Vox done for... Voters will back ALVISE
Alvise Pérez posts a message against "the parasitic caste of all parties" and calls on Valencian voters. The key is which part of the electorate he channels that anger from.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Alvise Pérez's message offers no programme and no figures: only a framework of punishment against the traditional parties. Its economic value lies in capturing the vote of those who blame the political class for their situation, not in offering a measurable alternative.
**Alvise Pérez**'s post on X does not contain a single economic proposal. He says the Valencian people have had enough of "the parasitic caste of all political parties" and that the party is over. It is a message of punishment, not of governance, and therein lies both its strength and its limit.
## What the message says and who it appeals to
The text identifies a common enemy: the traditional parties, without distinguishing between them. By addressing the "Valencian people", it places the discontent in a specific territory, although the framework works for anywhere. It cites no budgets, taxes or measures. The only figure is zero.
That programmatic void is not a stylistic flaw. It is the product. A voter who expects nothing from institutional politics does not buy an adjustment plan; they buy a rupture. The message is sold as the end of the party, not the start of a legislative term.
## The cost of governing with a rupture discourse
If that protest vote translates into seats, the problem arrives the next day. Governing means balancing the books, passing laws and answering to the markets and to Brussels. A party defined by what it rejects struggles to explain what it signs.
The experience of other protest parties shows the pattern: they grow on discontent and wear down when decisions must be made. The electorate that rewards the "enough" usually punishes the governing. The question is not how far it climbs in the polls, but how long it lasts when it has to vote on a budget.
## Why it matters for the Valencian economy
The Valencian Community depends on public investment, tourism and European funds. A discourse that delegitimises all parties complicates the negotiation of any budget agreement. Without stability, projects are delayed and those least able to pay the price.
None of this means the message is true or false: it is an electoral strategy. But it is worth separating the anger from the solution. Anger does not pay wages.
