Their political shields remain in the party, with Alfonso Serrano at the helm, and in the Madrid Assembly with Carlos Díaz Pache, the new spokesman for the popular group
Isabel Díaz Ayuso has assumed in lonely he ideological rudder of his new government. Among the nine councilors elected for this legislature there is no trace of recognizable faces for public opinion, social references or faces that even remind a large social base that represents the PP. Neither is a Vice-Presidency or a Spokesperson yet known, although it is pointed out that the new Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Local Administration, Miguel Angel Garcia“good communicator and conciliator”, as revealed in the party, will exercise de facto both.
The newly invested president of the Community of Madrid has established herself as a referent of the rightboth for not giving up what he calls the cultural battle and for having absorbed and recovered a large part of the center right for the PP, achieving an absolute majority on May 28 that has left Vox with a paper completely secondary in the region. That leadership will only be represented by her in the autonomous government, no shields behind which to stand in case of need. The protection wall in which Ayuso could hide has remained in the Madrid Assembly with a new spokesman, Carlos Díaz Pache, who in his first intervention during the investiture debate already showed how he uses the irony as a scourge of the left, and in the party, where Alfonso Serrano He remains in front with his quick verb, always ready to confront the opposition and the Government of the nation. If they are badly given, although in these years Ayuso has shown that she is not exactly given to hiding and has made daring her personal brand, for the moment they are the trick with which to hide.
Bet on management
In the Popular Party there two streams that try to explain that Isabel Díaz Ayuso has avoided profiles of a markedly political nature in her Executive. One attributes it to the need for results; the other talks about “time” and, above all, about the newspaper library. She has added another specific meaning, the need for the generation of “children of the Transition” to take a step forward in politics, of which she herself is a part.
In the first case, there are those who point out that, in a context that will necessarily be different, the product offered must also be different. Polls point to a PP winner in the general elections in July, although for the moment that does not guarantee governability. And with a hypothetical PP government in the Moncloa the role of the leader of Madrid will also be “different”.
The team you have presented has a “good technical level”, experience and knowledge of how the Community and its relationship with the Government of the nation work, according to all the sources consulted. With them, Ayuso points towards a change in strategy by presenting a team focused on carrying out electoral initiatives and promises. It will not be easy to comply 50,000 social housing announced, the digital modernization of the Administration or the digital revolution that he intends in public health without it taking up arms again at some point. For all this, he has put faithful people in command and with background in these matters who report results. Management in the face of permanent confrontation against Pedro Sanchezthey point out in the party, stressing their conviction that Ayuso “will not lose prominence” that’s why. But the results are now more important if possible because he will no longer have excuses or “his hands tied” by another party, as the opposition, both the left and Vox, is in charge of telling him.
back to 2019
The renovation that he has proposed “has a lot of personal challenge“, sources from the Community assume, while others make clear what the low level of social or political leadership of the new councilors means: “The Community of Madrid today is only Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for better and for worse”. However, in their close environment, beyond recognizing that management and the consequent results are fundamental in this new stage, they remember and point in another direction. The leaders are forged, they point. And they remember where their own was. Ayuso four years agoin 2019, when it emerged as candidate without expectations of having a good result and, above all, as unknown to the general public.
He timeTherefore, it can “reveal” the political profile of the new directors. A close source assures that the president “knows her new traveling companions very well” and “for a long time”, that she is convinced that new opportunities must be given to the generation that is between 40 and 50 years old today so that there can be a replacement in the party and that some of them “will surprise” who today believe that only purely technical profiles have been signed.
