Genoa shapes the “party act” against the amnesty that they have called for next Sunday in Madrid, on the eve of Alberto Núñez Feijóo presenting himself as a candidate for investiture in the Congress of Deputies. The event, an “open” rally, has its risks at the organizational level. As for the mobilization capacity, because the capacity will be measured with a magnifying glass in a predictable pulse between the figures of the Government Delegation and those offered by the municipal police. The expectations created and the confusion over whether it was a call for mobilization or protest, later denied by the party leadership, have caused external, but also internal, pressure to grow.
The PP is also concerned that it could lead to an “Ayusista” event: organized in Madrid, with the Madrid militancy as a playing field, and with the president of the Community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, among the attendees, along with the rest of the barons and members of the leadership. This environment fuels misgivings about Ayuso being hailed from the stands, as already happened on the night of June 23 on the balcony in Génova. The president plays it safe on Sunday, although the national leadership has chosen to have the support of the regional presidents, but from silence, because they are not expected to intervene, at least they were not until last night, as confirmed by official sources to this diary.
The program is open, but after all the noise it has caused on the left, in Genoa they are working with the idea of trying to take care of the forms and the substance to give it an institutional tone, with the former presidents of the Government José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy as “opening act” This also serves to justify Pablo Casado not speaking, in his capacity as former president of the PP.
The party experiences Feijóo’s investiture with some confusion. They do not understand some of the latest decisions adopted by the management, they talk again about the need to renew and strengthen the team, and they begin to feel the vertigo of assuming that another opposition term is ahead. In addition, the feeling that they are once again prisoners of the tensions caused by the party’s “external satellites” that want to condition the strategy and even the leadership is also worrying. With positions, they warn, “that may be good in Madrid or Ayuso, but that ignore the perception that exists in Spain as a whole.”
These doubts about the strategy and the disappointment of seeing how the possibility of an investiture of Pedro Sánchez advances with the support of the independence and nationalist alliance, are also fueling the misgivings of a sector of Genoa towards the pull of the Madrid president. In an interview with LA RAZÓN, and asked about the leadership of Ayuso or the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno, the leader of the PP explained that it did not cause him discomfort, but on the contrary, being surrounded by leaders whom he They are recognized for their ability to have a national projection, as happened to him when the party was in the hands of Mariano Rajoy.
In principle, to dress this institutionality, and the transversality in which Genoa has framed Sunday’s event, the organization anticipates that there will be Spanish flags, but to the extent possible, party flags are not wanted. They also keep open the question of whether there will be the presence of critical socialists.
The latest movements of the independence movement and the messages from Carles Puigdemont reinforce in the PP the feeling that the pact is moving forward and that this will require civil mobilization, in which the party, after Feijóo’s failed investiture, has to play “its role.” and his presence. But internally they give more importance to the need to rearm for a forceful opposition “with arguments and renewed equipment.”
The mantra “repeal sanchismo” has been annulled with the result of the general elections, and if the investiture of Pedro Sánchez is confirmed, the PP will have to face a broad readjustment in its strategy.
