The challenge that the president of the Basque PP has posed to the national leadership of the party is intolerable. Because the irresponsible attitude of Alfonso Alonso in the framework of the negotiation of an agreement between PP and Cs to form a stronger constitutionalist bloc in the face of the impending regional elections adds the party to a serious crisis .
Alonso, who had already been announced as head of the cartel, has the right to try to defend the strategy he considers most beneficial. But what he has done is far from the responsibility that comes with his position. It is inadmissible that he limit himself to making public his discomfort with a pact that was still preliminary and that he refused to attend the meeting with the leadership of the party in which the terms of the alliance were discussed, especially because the popular sealed with Cs a final agreement that, as we publish today, includes most of the claims of the Basque PP . It will be seen at the polls how much has eroded what happened the image of a party that already passes through its lowest hours in Euskadi; Errors of this draft can have disastrous consequences.
This unfortunate episode leaves the certainty that Alonso's leadership is in question . The division is such that there are already several voices of the Basque PP that extol the virtues of the pact with Cs and openly criticize the attitude of their leader, who must reflect; he is obliged to put his party's interests before his interests.
