The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, announced this Saturday that Cuca Gamarra will continue as general secretary of the PP. He has highlighted that she is the “best person” to “order” a PP “that has more territorial power than ever” and that has to “face the worst Government that Spain has had in its 45 years of democracy.”

Feijóo insisted at the closing of his party’s Congress in La Rioja that Gamarra “has grown up in the school of municipalism, she has been an excellent mayor for a time and a great spokesperson in the Congress of Deputies.” She “has been a magnificent part-time general secretary and now she is going to be an excellent full-time general secretary,” she said, leaving her spokesperson role up in the air from now on.

Gamarra (Logroño, 1974) became general secretary of the PP in 2022 after four years in the executive of Casado, and almost two sitting next to him in Congress. Upon receiving Feijóo’s call when he became leader of the party, Gamarra assured: “I am a party woman, of the PP. Always available for whatever you need and can be useful.”

“We neither give up nor remain silent”

Shortly before Feijóo announced Gamarra’s continuation as general secretary, in the autonomous Congress of the PP, she reaffirmed the commitment of the ‘popular’ against the amnesty, indicating that “we neither give up, nor are we silent, nor are we still.” ”. “While Sánchez has come to build a wall between Spaniards, we have come to govern for everyone,” she stressed, while warning the President of the Government that “Spain does not surrender.”

He has stated that “in the face of the “policy of tension” of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, the PP will offer a “policy of coexistence, of bridges and of seeking to unite instead of confront.” Furthermore, he has denounced as a “democratic anomaly” that the Executive tries to “control the rest of the powers” and demands respect for the rule of law and that “the rules of the game are clear and concise.”
