The PP cannot hide its satisfaction with the Andalusian result. It has achieved an absolute majority that "has shown that Andalusia is not anyone's farmhouse," they point out. And despite insisting that the elections are Andalusian, the national leadership of the PP draws its own conclusions. The main one, that, with an absolute majority in Andalusia, "the PP has no ceiling in Spain", and that yesterday a step was taken "for Sánchez to leave Moncloa".
The person in charge of doing this analysis was Elías Bendodo, who has the double condition of being the head of Juanma Moreno's campaign and general coordinator of the national leadership. The Andalusian result is seen by the national leadership as "a firm step for Sánchez to leave La Moncloa as soon as possible and experience, seriousness, common sense return."
And it is that, for the national leadership of the PP with Andalusia, it was shown "that when it works seriously, the PP is unbeatable", and the key is that the PP is a party that works "united and focused". That is what has also made it possible to demonstrate, Bendodo said, that the PP has no ceiling in Spain if it is capable of obtaining an absolute majority in Andalusia."
The popular are convinced that with the Andalusian result many things change in Spanish politics, and among them, according to the general coordinator, that the PP and Feijóo "are no longer an opposition and become an alternative", and that is why they believe that yesterday "the clock was started, with a countdown for Sánchez to leave Moncloa, and a clear alternative is already visible, which is the one represented by Feijoo."
The conclusion of the PP is that Feijóo has to continue doing what it is doing: "Be a proactive party and give an image of Spain, from the opposition, more positive than the one that is given from the Government." The PP does not expect Pedro Sánchez to react to the poor result of the PSOE in Andalusia by calling general elections, because he is convinced that "he will call them when he and his party are most interested, not the country."
However, he already warns that "the PP is prepared, it is activated to face the general elections when it touches. The PP is already in that key, that of becoming an alternative." For this, the PP is already preparing for the municipal and regional elections next May, where Bendodo predicts that many mayors and presidents will not want him to campaign with them.
To achieve these objectives, the recipe is the same that Feijóo has applied since he became president of the PP, and which is a true reflection of the one applied by Juanma Moreno in Andalusia, with the good results obtained: "The PP can aspire to great achievements in the future, with prudence and moderation, and yesterday's result is very symptomatic".
For Bendodo, "it has been shown that the PP, from the center, achieves great results" and that is why he is convinced that "the PP must always have one foot in the center, and with the other it can steer to the right and left".
And from that moderation, the PP does not want to delve into the results of other parties, starting with those of Vox, although he explains that if he has learned anything in politics it is "managing expectations", in clear allusion to the fact that Vox spoke of obtaining some results from which they have fallen far, far short, making their two-seat gain look like a loss.
Regarding the attitude that the Government should maintain, the general coordinator of the PP underlines that Sánchez has "a golden opportunity to pick up the outstretched hand of the PP" and re-analyze the economic plan with the anti-crisis measures that the president of the PP sent him, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, "and that until now has received contempt from the Government, despite being "shared with unions and businessmen", and prepared by "people who know".
The number three of the PP considers that it would be a good time for the Government "to consider its support and agreements" and take into account that "the PP is a state party and has its hand out to get Spain out of this pothole, from which neither the independentistas of Catalonia nor the heirs of ETA are going to remove it".
