The impact of the reflection and decision of the President of the Government in the 12-M is still unpredictable, but the PP of Catalonia trusts that Pedro Sánchez's movement will serve to mobilize and bring together the electorate that normally acts in elections. general. An analysis that the popular will continue to carry out in the coming days, since until last Wednesday they were working with two premises. On the one hand, the perception that there is a fundamental movement that suggests a significant growth of the PP on 12-M. But, at the same time, there was a perception of fatigue among citizens after last summer's electoral cycle and, therefore, apathy towards the Catalan elections.
The keys to these elections, within the framework of the scenario that Sánchez has put on the table, are different from the general ones. Now, it is no longer so important the extra votes that the PSC can get from the PP, but rather the scenario that arises in the Parliament, always speaking in a Catalan key. The entry of the Spanish key facilitated by Sánchez in the 12-M scenario, suits the popular Catalans in this first reading.
Leaders of this party point out that it allows a PSOE-PP dialectic, which interests them by bringing them closer to the center of the debate. Likewise, the tone of the socialists' campaign changes. Given this scenario, the sources consulted indicate that the PSC candidate, Salvador Illa, has had his strategy of developing a moderate campaign truncated. But, likewise, it is noted that for five days the “absolute protagonist” has been Sánchez, in an attempt, it is noted, to put his team back together.
After Sánchez's decision to remain in Moncloa, the PP's messages are going to move approximately in the same coordinates as in recent days: equating the "personalism" of Sánchez and Carles Puigdemont, the link between socialism and the process , rejection of the independence movement and connection with the “decadence” of Catalonia, defense of a different management and, now with greater force, they want to highlight the “subordination” of Illa to Pedro Sánchez. They want to link the PSC candidate with the president's movement. given the hypothesis that some part of the potential voters are not enthusiastic about the line followed by the head of the Executive.
