The election of Montesinos reinforces Mazón's connection with the national leadership of the PP

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, announced this Thursday that the Alicante deputy Macarena Montesinos will be the general secretary of the Popular Group in Congress, as 'number two' of the Galician Miguel Tellado, who will occupy the parliamentary spokesperson. Montesinos is a Valencian politician who has a close and complicit friendship with Carlos Mazón, whom she has always supported in his political career, and in PP circles it was valued that with this decision by Feijóo the Valencian president gains weight in the national leadership of the party .

Yesterday Carlos Mazón himself did not hide his satisfaction with this appointment, which dispels the suspicions that had been generated because Feijóo had not chosen any "Valencian" for his hard core in the party after the announced changes. One of the eyes was on Esteban González Pons, who is pointed out as a possible candidate of the Spanish PP for the European elections next June.

Macarena Montesinos has been a key piece of the Valencian and Spanish PP. She was one of those who collaborated in the transformation of Alianza Popular to the PP, she has been a councilor in Alicante, an autonomous deputy for two terms, with Eduardo Zaplana as Valencian president; She is a parliamentarian in Congress and in the last general elections she was number one on the list for the lower house for Alicante. Those who know her speak of her as a woman of great political intelligence.
