Feijóo postpones changes in the PP until after the investiture

Once his investiture is behind him, unsuccessful for the purpose of being named president of the government, but satisfactory to reinforce his leadership in the PP and as head of the opposition if Pedro Sánchez manages to remain in Moncloa, Alberto Núñez Feijóo prepares changes between the which does not rule out the replacement of Cuca Gamarra as spokesperson in Congress.

But these “adjustments”, which was the term Feijóo used, will in any case occur when it is known whether Sánchez emerges successfully from the negotiations to renew his presidency: “Imagine that Carles Puigdemont says that it is not enough and we must vote”, posed the popular leader so as not to precipitate events.

If the legislature starts with a government pact between the PSOE and Sumar, with the acquiescence of the Catalan and Basque nationalist and independence parties, the time will come for the PP to grease the opposition machinery, and Gamarra could give up parliamentary prominence to focus on the organic rearmament of the party as general secretary.

“We are starting a new stage and in the new stage there have to be adjustments, of course,” confirmed the popular leader in an interview on Onda Cero, in which he also announced movements in the Senate, where the spokesperson is the Basque Javier Maroto.

As for Congress, Feijóo admitted that the question about Gamarra's role would have an “adequate answer” when it made “the final decision.” Although given that there is the possibility of returning to the polls in January, he wanted to be cautious.

But if changes in the Basque Country, with elections just around the corner, are imminent, in Catalonia, with the regional congress postponed and still undated, the internal crisis of the PP remains unresolved and could trigger the appointment of a manager. by Genoa.

It would be the response of the national executive to the challenge of the leader of the PP of Catalonia, Alejandro Fernández, without support among the leaders, but confident in the support of the bases to maintain his pulse. Some sources point to Daniel Sirera, successfully rescued in the Barcelona municipal elections, as the one chosen by Feijóo to pilot this compromise solution, although no one knows for sure his silent designs: “I don't think so,” he replied yesterday to the question. whether those who would assume new responsibilities know their intentions.
