The PP begins the second phase of the campaign with very clear messages to concentrate the vote of the right around the PP. Feijóo will continue to appeal to Vox voters to gain support and for Abascal to have as little force as possible to demand future agreements
In the final days, the final stretch towards May 28, the PP will focus its message on an unequivocal call for vote concentration right. Alberto Núñez Feijóo closed yesterday the most important rally for his party in the city of Valencia with a direct appeal —the first he has made— to Vox voters. it won’t be the last. The forecast is that in his next interventions the main political line will be this: the PP needs to win more support within its own bloc to be crowned the winner in the next elections and, secondly, reduce the strength of the one that is called to be its partner in many territories where it will not have an absolute majority.
genoa wants get around the ultra party in governments or at least, diminish their influence the maximum possible. There is no transfer of Vox votes outside the bloc of the right. That is to say, those who lose the formation of Santiago Abascal go directly to the initials of the PP. As this newspaper published, Feijóo plans a final campaign push in which the controversy over the Bildu lists will lose strength.
The mentions of Pedro Sánchez’s parliamentary alliances and “the lies& rdquor; of the president, as Feijóo now repeats tirelessly in what has to do with his agreements, they will be maintained. But they will not be the axis of the discourse: yes it will be the express appeal to voters of Vox and those that remain from Ciudadanos (a very small percentage that continues to be taken from the PP) to join the only force that is really fighting for power with the PSOE.
“Do not think that the vote is just a piece of paper. Think about the role we want our vote to have. And if you want change, concentrate the vote on the PP & rdquor ;, said the conservative leader in a crowded bullring that at this time has already become the main symbol of this campaign. Level leaders suffered thinking about this act, organized entirely by the Valencian PP and refusing to receive support from the national leadership. In the middle of the war of numbers of attendees with the PSOE and the criticism of the size of their acts, the PP exhibited definite muscle in the key community of this 28-M.
Feijóo’s message was preceded by the candidate for the Valencian Generalitat, Carlos Mazonwho spoke just as clearly. “We cannot divide efforts. The division takes us away from the change that we have already touched with our fingertips & rdquor ;, she warned. At this moment, the Valencian Community is practically in a technical tie. Some surveys give the sum of PP and Vox viable. And others, like that of Prensa Ibérica, confirm the victory of the PP but Ximo Puig could reissue his Government. The reality is that it will depend on a handful of votes. And in this context, the PP understands that it must be the hegemonic force of the center right.
Wherever the sum is possible (Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, the Balearic Islands, Cantabria, as well as Madrid and Murcia depending on whether or not they reach an absolute majority) the PP wants Vox to have as little strength as possible. And that is why the unification of the vote is so important, acknowledge sources of the leadership. In recent days, the former presidents of the Government, Jose Maria Aznar (in Castilla-La Mancha and Murcia) and Mariano Rajoy in Madrid they already sent the same message of grouping the entire electorate around the popular acronym. The call for a useful vote, which is repeated campaign after campaign, could be decisive in this scenario that is still so open.
As this newspaper published, the national leadership has always been in favor of not talking about pacts after 28-M. The territories have that order and they are complying with it just like Genoa does. The only appeal to Vox will be to attract its voters, but in no case should the party open up to understandings until election night has passed. Even less take them for granted in their public interventions.
In addition, it is a strategy that leaves aside the first week of the campaign, so crowded on the Bildu lists. At the event in Valencia, with about 12,000 attendees according to the PP, there were much milder references than in recent days. It is true that the Valencian candidates, who also have a lot at stake on a national level, also spoke of the presence of “terrorists& rdquor; in applications. But Feijóo significantly limited mentions and in comparison with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who remains determined to speak about the nationalist left in the remainder of her campaign.
Divergences on this issue have become visible, especially with regard to legal strategy. Ayuso continues to think that it is viable to analyze the illegalization and the national PP closes that door convinced that there is nothing to do in the Supreme Court.
