The president of the Catalan PP, Alejandro Fernández, will not be part of the party's lists in the general elections on July 23. He will not follow in the footsteps of former Ciudadanos leaders Albert Rivera and Inés Arrimadas, who left the leadership of their party in Catalonia to go to Congress.

The regional leader will not leave the Parliament and resists, in this way, the strategy of the national leadership, whose plans have long included the relay in the Catalan dome.
