This meeting, of which sources from the national leadership have informed Efe on Tuesday, takes place after yesterday the president of the popular ones opted for convene a National Board of Directors next week.

Casado took this step, prior to calling a congress, forced by his own leadership. Most of its leaders -all except Pablo Montesinos, Antonio González Terol, Ana Beltrán and number two, Teodoro García Egea- demanded the convening of an extraordinary congress, and some of them threatened to resign if it was not convened, as reported to Efe several sources present at the meeting.

The National Board of Directors has been convened next Monday, February 28, although it is expected that this date will be modified and postponed, after complaints from the Andalusian president, Juanma Moreno Bonilla, because the appointment coincides with Andalusia Day.

With the convening of the National Board of Directors next week, Casado seeks to postpone the solution to the open crisis and have tried to resist the pressure of those who asked him to convene a congress now and of the thousands of followers of the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who asked for his resignation.

Two thirds of this body, made up of hundreds of members, are needed to force the convocation of an extraordinary congress, which could be held in 45 or 30 days, which would foreseeably place it in April.

Casado, who in the last two years has placed leaders related to Genoa in the provincial ranking of the party, could measure his strength in the National Board of Directors. Among the heavyweights, his weakness has been revealed, after none, except Fernando Lopez Miraspresident of the Region of Murcia, has aligned himself with him.

The first stress test will be tomorrow at the Autonomous Committee, where the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Nuñez Feijoo; the presidents of Andalusia and Castilla y León, Juanma Moreno Bonilla and Alfonso Fernandez manueco, respectively; and the other protagonist of the clash that has opened the channel to the match, the Madrid Isabel Diaz Ayuso.
