The popular close the intermunicipal of Valencia in a climate of euphoria in the face of the imminent electoral cycle | The national president puts pressure on the Valencian leaders: “The PP and Spain need C. Valenciana”
the PP closed this Sunday its 26 intermunicipal Valencia in a climate of general ecstasy after a first day in which the conservatives achieved the image of unity that their national leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, was looking for, by bringing together José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy in the same act. The photo was repeated this Sunday to the delight of the popular. The convention opened to the public on its second and final day, which further inflamed the spirits. According to the organization, they congregated more than 4,000 people arrivals of all the autonomy in more than fifty buses.
The decibels of the public address system also rose with respect to the inauguration, in accordance with the morale that was breathed among the supporters, affiliates, candidates, mayors, regional leaders (Díaz Ayuso repeated and attended Moreno Bonilla, absent on Saturday) and the party’s national leadership. Among them, once again acting as hosts, the general secretary of the PPCV and candidate for the city council of Valencia, Maria Jose Catala, and the regional president and candidate for the Generalitat, Carlos Mazon.
The tandem had a prominent role. Both enjoyed the mandatory minutes of prominence, but it was Feijóo who ended up placing the spotlights on their heads and the responsibility on their backs by stating that his arrival at Moncloa depends on his results in both places, keys for the PP. months later. “Another brick in the backpack,” Mazón joked after the act.
The national leader’s message had all the popular candidates as recipients, but included a special dedication to Mazón and Catalá. “There are rational indications that they are going to be mayor and president”, he introduced before adding that one of the reasons for choosing Valencia as the venue for the forum is to “put some pressure” so that they achieve that double objective. “The PP and Spain need this community. We need you in constitutional Spain”he claimed.
Later, he extended that request to all his candidates, leaving his continuity at the head of the formation in their hands. “If I don’t manage to win I don’t deserve to be president of the party. Therefore, help a little. Give a hand”. A way to unite his destiny with that of his family but also a warning to sailors: only victory is worth it.
The Galician exhibited a unusual triumphalist tone in himassuring that he is “more sure than ever that Spain is going to have a better government” and set the bar very high for the electoral appointment in May: “We need an absolutely indisputable majority”he said, evidencing that the PP considers the 28M campaign to have started after its conclave in Valencia.
The Valencians accept the order
They intervened before Feijóo’s message, but from Mazón and Catalá’s speeches it can be intuited that The Valencian duo is just as convinced of their chances of victory as their leader. Also the supporters, who gave each other chants of “mayor, mayor” and “president, president.”
“Change is not only unstoppable, it is already underway”, proclaimed the president of the PPCV in his speech. Before his colleagues from the national party, Mazón displayed his usual speech as an autonomous leader, drawing a decadent C. Valenciana after 8 years with the left in power.
Collapsed health, irresponsible public spending, skyrocketing debt (ignoring underfinancing), flight of professionals due to the language requirement, fiscal plunder, pan-Catalanism and irrelevance in Madrid because of a Ximo Puig accomplice of Pedro Sánchez were once again the main plot lines of the man from Alicante. , which did not forget about financing.
“We do not want to be more than anyone because we are not nationalists, but we want fair treatment. For this reason, I want to come with Feijóo and say that we have the financing system that we deserve for our public services,” he claimed.
The national president picked up the glove halfway. Although in passing and without getting wet, Feijóo promised to “face the great national debates” if he arrives in Moncloa, which according to what he said is the regional financing system and “water for all”. In any case, he avoided making concrete promises on either of the two issues, which are highly complex to resolve without arousing misgivings about any autonomy.
Catalá assumes the legacy of Rita
In her turn, Catalá admitted that “great responsibility” that Feijóo’s assignment entails (something she talks about “every morning” with Mazón, as she confessed) but she was also confident that the city, “necessary for the PP”, will be the “starting point of the transformation of Spain”, its “zero kilometer”, and the “starting point for the end of sanchismo”.
The popular candidate for the Valencia City Council once again paid tribute to Rita Barberá before an audience once again devoted to the figure of the former mayor. “We are the heirs of the great mayors, Rudí, Villalobos, Teófila Martínez and our long-awaited Rita Barberá.” At that moment there was the longest ovation of the day, with all the attendees on their feet.
But the tribute did not stop there. Catalá assumed the task of finishing off the legacy of the former mayor, since “Since Rita nothing happens in the city. I will win and rule for her”said before announcing that if he wins the elections “2023 will not end without Rita being honorary mayor of the city and the Bridge of Flowers bearing her name.”
