Eye by eye, tooth by tooth. If the Government has launched to announce to the four winds that the leadership of Alberto Núñez Feijóo is threatened by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, as the ministers and the PSOE constantly repeat, in a clear attempt, they believe in the PP, to stop his rise, confirmed by the Andalusian elections and the polls, from Genoa they will respond to Pedro Sánchez with the same coin: highlight the weakness of the Executive, no matter how much the president worried this week about denying a possible crisis in his Cabinet.
Despite how categorical Sánchez was in denying that there was going to be a remodeling, the president of the PP yesterday insisted on that possibility, which he also sees very soon. Feijóo, on vacation in Galicia, will increase his public interventions from now on and, at a press conference held in Porto do Son (A Coruña), he asked the President of the Government that when he undertakes the changes, he take the opportunity to reduce the size of his Cabinet and the number of senior officials and advisers because, in his opinion, "you cannot have the most expensive government in history in the most expensive summer."
What matters least are the reasons that the leader of the PP gives for that change of government, because the important thing, in that strategy of the popular ones, is to create a feeling of precariousness in the Executive. "Everything seems to indicate that there is going to be a government reshuffle," said Feijóo, because "it is a precarious, provisional government."
Feijóo's second reason is that "the last time Sánchez said there would be no changes in his government, after nine days he replaced eight ministers." In addition, he believes that a change would contribute to "improving the political environment." And thirdly, because a very complex autumn is coming up that would require the Government, PP, autonomous communities and productive sectors to sit down and talk "seriously" about how to deal with the energy crisis.
Regarding the document published with the agreement to renew the Judiciary between Minister Félix Bolaños and the former Secretary General of the PP, Teodoro García Egea, Feijóo insisted that he did not know him and that Pablo Casado did not speak to him about him when he made the transfer of powers. A document, he said, that was not discussed either in the current management committee or in the previous one. A document that, in his opinion, has no value, because in the interview he had with Pedro Sánchez in Moncloa, four days after being elected president of the PP, it was clear that he was starting from scratch and "talks were resumed", that not "the negotiations, because we were beginning a new stage."
