Public Administrations Minister Jordi Sevilla accepted Barbera’s request and a meeting took place between the Minister and the Valencian representatives (Rita Barbera, the Mayoress of Valencia and Francisco Camps, the president of the Valencia regional government) in an effort to stop the dissension.

Although the details of the meeting were not revealed, party sources said that the three leaders explored the possibility of an agreement to overcome their differences over the control of the Americ's Cup and the lack of investment in the America's Cup by the Zapatero's Government.

The first debated issue was the Madrid's proposal to create a autonomous entity, controlled by the Central Government, which will be in charge of supervise recruitments and tenders.

The main disputed issue is the Central Government plan to fulfill its financial commitments to the City (€500 million) through a long-term concession for the use and operation of the grounds owned by the state in Valencia.
