Concluded the regional congresses of Galicia and Madrid, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has taken advantage of this Monday to put the focus of the PP in the next general elections. And he has done so by haranguing the leaders of his party to win elections without "ever" giving up on obtaining a "broad majority" of government so that from there "a clear project and a free president is born" without having to depend on Vox.
This is how the national president of the PP spoke during the meeting of the National Executive Committee, which, in addition, has served to shore up the second levels of the PP and ratify its spokespersons in Parliament and in the European Parliament: Cuca Gamarra (Congress), Javier Maroto (Senate) and Dolors Montserrat (European Parliament.
"I do not want to be president because the Spaniards do not want Sánchez, but because the PP wins and governs" in sync with the feelings of "the majorities", he underlined, addressing both those present at the Genoa headquarters and the president of the Junta de Andalucía and candidate for re-election, Juanma Moreno, absent from the appointment and who in recent days has stressed that he has governing alone as a priority and has even alluded to the possibility of a hypothetical electoral repetition.
The great novelty of the session, in terms of appointments, has been the election of the deputy for Granada Carlos Rojas as number two in the Congress of the general secretary and spokesperson for the Popular Group, Cuca Gamarra. Until now, the deputy spokesman for the Popular Group will be the new general secretary of the parliamentary group in the Lower House, replacing Guillermo Mariscal. And he will work in coordination with the spokesperson and general secretary of the PP.
With the appointment of Rojas, who in his day was spokesman for the PP in the Andalusian Parliament, Feijóo gives weight to the Andalusian quota in his Executive, of which Elías Bendodo, as general coordinator, and Juan Bravo are already part of the main positions , as head of Economy.
For his part, the president of the National Committee of Rights and Guarantees of the national PP and the Extremaduran PP, José Antonio Monago, joined the Board of Directors of the Popular Parliamentary Group in the Senate as deputy spokesman since Monday.
At a lower level, but with "enormous importance and responsibility" due to the current situation, Feijóo has broken down the composition of his economic team, which will be made up of active regional councilors, such as the heads of the Treasury in Galicia and Murcia, the person in charge in Madrid Environment, and former senior officials such as Javier Thibault, former director general of the Ministry of Employment.
Feijóo will be elected senator by designation of the autonomous community of Galicia this Tuesday, May 24 in the afternoon, in an extraordinary plenary session that will begin at 4:00 p.m., before the ordinary session. With his appointment, the PP will transfer the focus of its opposition to the Executive to the Upper House in which the national president of the popular will try to confront Pedro Sánchez as much as possible.
The Government responds in the Senate to oral questions in its two monthly plenary sessions. And in one of them, the chief executive answers three senators, one of whom is always the spokesman for the popular group, Javier Maroto.
It is this possibility that Feijóo wants to take advantage of to participate, instead of Maroto, in what will be, for the moment, his only "face to face" with Sánchez, since the possibility that he can intervene in the plenary sessions of Congress is excluded, to the However, you will be able to attend.
