The consultation of the partners promoted by Alberto Núñez Feijóo after the preventive imprisonment of the former PSOE organization secretary, Santos Cerdán, has served the leader of the PP but for little else. The until now spokesman for the Popular Party in Congress, Miguel Tellado, and imminent general secretary has taken stock of the telephone contact round with the government investiture partners initiated on Tuesday, in which he has found that he can only count, so far, with the support of Vox. So you still need four more votes to prosper.
“I have asked you if your support is still intact. The answer is that nobody moves, nobody is willing to abandon support for Pedro Sánchez, there, history will judge them,” he said in Telecinco. “If they prefer to be complicit in the corruption of the PSOE and keep Sanchez in power, they will assume that responsibility at the polls,” he said in what has been his first interview. His designation and that of Ester Muñoz as a successor in Congress, two hard profiles, puts the party in electoral mode before the National Congress held this weekend in Madrid.
In parallel, the PP has announced that the MEP Soul Ezcurra enters the reformed Management Committee that will leave the conclave as Deputy Secretary of Sector Coordination. The position is again the wedge to make the former deputy Madrid, 38, who before entering the European lists last year passed through the Madrid Assembly as a deputy on the Isabel Díaz Ayuso bench. “It’s not anyone, or Ayusista in Feijooist. That is why he likes a lot, “says a source that has worked with her.” He goes against the discourse of the left without complexes, but does not take the cultural battle to the extreme as Ayuso, ”he adds. Ezcurra, general coordinator of the reformism foundation21, of the PP, has piloted the political presentation of his 21 congress.
The popular leader studied law at the Autonomous University of Madrid and since 2010 has participated in virtually all the electoral programs with which the training has attended the elections, after starting its journey from the party in Faes, the foundation that José María Aznar chairs. He also worked at the Mariano Rajoy government cabinet and the popular parliamentary group in Congress. His figure went viral in November 2023, when he intervened for the first time in the Madrid Assembly in an aguerrid speech against amnesty to those prosecuted by the process.
Ezcurra will be appointed in the Congress of this weekend, in which the popular want to show unity and strength against Sánchez, which they continue to demand that advanced elections. However, the PP acknowledges that the president of the Government has no signs of precipitating, a priorithe elections. “What happens that I am afraid that anyone in the Socialist Party, of the people who are active, dares to tell Pedro Sánchez that so far we have arrived, that this gives us a lot and that everything that is happening is responsible,” said Tellado, who has ironized about the coincidence, on Saturday, of the conclave of the popular with the federal committee of the PSOE, summoned in the headquarters of the street of Ferraz de Ferraz. was to celebrate it in Seville) after the outbreak of the Cerdán case with the report of the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) of collection of bites in exchange for public works amaño.
“The date could not be more timely,” said the still parliamentary spokesman, who will be confirmed as Secretary General at the 21st Congress of the Popular Party, which will take place between this Friday and Saturday at Pavilion 10 of IFEMA. “A few kilometers the funeral committee meets to decree the death date of Sanchismo,” he said. “This Congress is not going to choose only the president of the PP, but that of Spain, the voter of Centrodécha and millions of Spaniards wishes,” said Feijóo’s confirmation as leader of the formation, whose designation must ratify the compromisarios in the second round. It will be the last time this primary system is used, since the new statute of statutes will already incorporate the new model promoted by the head of the PP and agreed with the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, which of the Cerdán case In the Supreme Court.
‘In extremis’ negotiation
With whom there is still no agreement is with the leader of the Catalan PP, Alejandro Fernández. Do not arrive alive to Congress and suppose to put the direction in a brete in a peaceful church -designed for the popular, who intend to show unity in front of the Sánchez Executive, beaten by the investigation of corruption around Cerdán, the former minister José Luis Ábalos and his ex -prisoner Koldo García.
The Chief of the Popular Catalans claims that the political ideology of the PP, which will be approved in the Congress of this weekend, collects the following express prohibition: “Consequently, it is unfeasible to reach government agreements with those political forces that include among their objectives subvert the constitutional order.” Fernández presented that amendment because the political presentation of the team appointed by Feijóo left the door open to the pacts provided that those eventual agreements respect the Spanish Constitution. The PP leader wants to have your hands free to negotiate in the future, especially with an eye on Junts. This Wednesday, Feijóo appealed to Puigdemont: “You will have to decide whether you want to continue keeping Sánchez, or if you want to open a new period, put the accountant to zero and that the Spaniards and, therefore, the Catalans, talk.”
The new PP spokesman in Congress, Ester Muñoz, has referred to those words of Feijóo on Thursday. “The accountant to zero means: do you want to continue in the hands of a liar or do you want to work to get improvements for all citizens, including those of Catalonia?” He said in the sixth. “We are not going to agree anything that is not within the Constitution, we are not going to agree on any amnesty,” Muñoz said in allusion to Junts’ demands. “We are going to wait to see what the TJUE says, we continue to say that it is illegal and unconstitutional,” he said about the Constitutional Court ruling, which places the measure of grace to those prosecuted by the process within the fundamental law.
