The scene left by the PP congress in Madrid this Saturday would have been impossible with Pablo Casado at the head of the party. The relationship between the previous leadership and Isabel Díaz Ayuso was irreconcilable and, in no case, would they have given her the full autonomy to the Madrid president as Alberto Núñez Feijóo decided to do. “She hasn’t given a single name for the new executive committee. She has only asked him to pick winners. Not a name & rdquor ;, they say in the environment closest to Ayuso without hiding their surprise from him.
The smiles at the end of the conclave and the null tension in the gestures and in the speeches, despite the notable differences that exist between the two leaders, they prove the distribution of roles that has been taking place over the days, almost spontaneously, and that the barons of the formation also assume.
“Of course they are different. And there will be things on which they disagree and even disagree. But it is good for both of them what the other does and Feijóo has understood that Ayuso is his main electoral asset and that together they can achieve what they won’t do apart& rdquor ;, explains a regional president. He’s not the only one. Two other regional leaders assure that Ayuso will be able to attract an electorate that the Galician leader does not convince on his own. “Each addresses a part of the electorate. And to get to Moncloa you need both. Feijóo will bring his and Isabel to the other part. Without it we will never win Spain & rdquor ;, coincides with another weighty charge of the new management.
The whole party is convinced that the “winning tandem” It is the one that was seen this Sunday on the stage of the Madrid congress. As this newspaper published, the freedom of action that Feijóo has guaranteed to Ayuso is what has deactivated her national profile and the constant internal competition that the Madrid woman had with Casado, whom she did not mention once in the conclave. Neither did the former president of the Xunta.
“Of course he talks about national politics and Spain. She is like that, she has always done it and presiding over the Community of Madrid necessarily implies talking about national powers & rdquor ;, they recognize in Sol. Next they recognize that the situation is absolutely different from that experienced with the previous management and that the Madrid woman works and will work to take Feijóo to the presidency of the Government. “In no case does it seek to cover it up or occupy its space. That no longer happens & rdquor ;, they settle.
“We are not going to fail you and God tell me what to do in this life to give everything so that you soon reach the Government of Spain, which we will do,” Ayuso herself said at the end of her speech. She just before she assured him that Madrid would be “his rearguard & rdquor;. “When it is your time you will have this team of taverns, these eager Spaniards at your beck and call. We are your electoral team&rdquor ;, settled the Madrid leader.
Feijóo, in his previous speech (he gave the closure to Ayuso, unlike Casado, who on more than one occasion scrambled the territories for the order of intervention in electoral campaigns) spared no praise for the regional president and assured her again that from this dayIsabel and her team are freer. Free to make the PP in Madrid freer and Madrid more free & rdquor ;.
Despite the fact that “he set homework & rdquor; to the PP of Madrid asking for “solid candidacies & rdquor; for the 179 municipalities of the Community looking to 2023 and ensuring that “the first stone has been laid & rdquor; to reach an absolute majority (Ayuso was left with 4 deputies on 4-M), Feijóo wanted to focus an express request for the entire party (but, obviously, looking at Madrid very especially) to put aside “sterile debates & rdquor ;, the “smoke screens” and “the fine print” of the controversies in which the Government is involved every week.
as already published THE NEWSPAPER OF SPAIN, a newspaper that belongs to this same group, Prensa Ibérica, Feijóo appointed a hard core of its own for Genoa without an ‘ayusista’ presence (with the exception of the former president of the Community of Madrid, Pedro Rollán, who was not considered a share of Ayuso in any case) with the idea of compensating the Madrid woman by giving her the absolute power of the PP in the region. So it has been.
That covert pact, like the distribution of roles, occurs naturally and without speaking explicitly. But it drives the same goal: close all wounds of the past months, definitively burying the Casado era and joining forces with the two souls of the PP that they can end up taking Feijóo to Moncloa.
