It was an open secret in the PP that Cuca Gamarra would no longer be a general secretary after the congress of this weekend. The Rioja deputy had assumed the position in 2022, as a transition figure after the abrupt fall of Pablo Casado of the PP address, whose dome was also part. Alberto Núñez Feijóo Aupó to that position to give an opening image after landing in Madrid with his group of collaborators from the Xunta de Galicia. But in the PP it was The voice of the people that Gamarra had not managed to enter the narrowest circle of confidence of the PP leader, and weighed to have been everyone and none. Given her more than expected relief, she has advanced to the news announcing discreetly an output agreed with Feijóo. He arrived without making noise and without noise has taken a step back.
The still general secretary will continue in the Management Committee of Feijóo, but degraded in rank, and will assume the area of justice currently carried by Esteban González Pons. His dismissal confirms that the PP leader plans a deep remodeling of his dome, to fence Pedro Sánchez in the final battle for power.
Gamarra explained on Monday that Feijóo and she have agreed that “it touches a different stage” after Congress and, as she has told, she has asked her to step back, and he has accepted it. However, other popular sources claim that Gamarra has actually retired before they asked him to leave, because the whole PP knew that Feijóo was thinking of giving the organic gallons to whom he already exerts de facto as his number two, the parliamentary spokesman Miguel Tellado. “I am a party, team woman,” said the Rioja leader on Monday in an appearance at the PP headquarters on Genoa Street. “In politics you have to be to serve, and not to serve,” he reflected, before being “available to the party” for the new tasks entrusted to him.
Gamarra has accepted a very unusual movement, continuing in the Feijóo Management Committee in a position below the one he occupied, still to be defined, although it could be a vice -secretary Rasa. The still general secretary is a survivor in the PP, because she supported Casado until the last moment and then turned quickly to support Feijóo. “It has been of all and that generates distrust,” reasons a deputy about the reasons why he will not continue as number two. Gamarra never managed to have a tune with Tellado, who relieved her as a spokesman in Congress, and that battle has also weighed internally. Tellado belongs to Feijóo’s first power ring, who failed to penetrate the Rioja.
A year ago, the PP leader. The General Secretariat can only be renewed in a party congress, so now the time has come.
Gamarra’s relay was almost taken for granted in the PP, although his lace raised doubts, because it is not easy to comply with a outgoing general secretary. However, she doesn’t seem to have put problems. His step back clears the leader to place a leader of his maximum confidence in that position.
The majority in the PP points to that task to the current parliamentary spokesman, Miguel Tellado, faithful squire of Feijóo. He has been with him for more than a decade, when in the Parliament of Galicia to make a whip of the opposition. In addition, Feijóo appointed him general secretary of the PP in Galicia, and is the architect of internal negotiations as delicate as the fall of Pablo Casado. Now he continued to assume the most organically sensitive tasks, although his position is that of parliamentary spokesman. For example, he has taken care of the Feajóo guarantees for this Congress, although the PP leader presents himself without rival.
Tellado will assume more responsibilities in Genoa, according to sources from the dome. Some barons are suspicious of becoming general secretary for the excessive accumulation of power of Galician origin in the dome of the PP, and because he is a man and does not project an image of renewal. But Feijóo knows that he has hands free to make his team because the PP has been granted with the aim that, this time, he reaches the Moncloa. The PP leader prepares an address without quotas or balances, and has already begun knocking the first tower.
