Feijóo has placed the Basque politician as spokesperson for the PP and the deputy as deputy spokesperson in Congress
What politics does strange bedfellows It also applies to each party internally, especially to those parties that try to reach a broad spectrum of voters. In this new stage of the PP in opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo has recovered Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo to the front line, a deputy with a belligerent style that he himself had censored in the past (when she called Pablo’s father a “terrorist”). Churches).
Feijóo has named her now deputy spokesperson for the popular party in Congress while in the match he has placed Borja Sémper as main spokesperson. This combination of Sémper and Álvarez de Toledo highlights the duality in which the Galician politician, who was the quintessential moderate baron when he presided over the Xunta de Galicia, is navigating these months. In fact, when Sémper left politics, in January 2020, after developing his entire career in Euskadi and suffering harassment from the terrorist group ETA, he did so by demanding that his political colleagues not lose their manners and in all the chronicles he He recalled his controversy with Álvarez de Toledo. The deputy had accused of “tepidity” to the Basque PP, something to which Sémper replied that the politicians in Euskadi were risking “their lives” defending the Constitution while “some walked comfortably on m“howly carpets.”
This Monday, Sémper was asked what he thinks of Álvarez de Toledo’s return to that important position in Congress and he responded by turning the page on that clash from the past. He has said that the PP is “a broad party”, who wants to “occupy an increasingly wider political space” in which “everyone has a stake.” “It is obvious and the capacity for political analysis is proven [de Álvarez de Toledo] and his political speech, and that is something that makes us proud, to have people of that capacity and that worth”has added.
Sémper still proudly wears his “moderate” label, even though his ways have also hardened at a time when the main mission What Feijóo’s PP has is to recover the voter who has gone to Vox in the last four years. As the main spokesperson in Congress, the leader of the popular parties has chosen Miguel Tellado, one of his main collaborators in Galicia and without fear of direct clash with his opponents, as he demonstrated in that autonomy and in the recent interventions he has had in Madrid. . Tellado was the leader of the PP who even suggested that Sánchez had to leave Spain “in a trunk”as Carles Puigdemont supposedly fled in 2017.
