The hasty restructuring in the Popular Party leaves a feeling of retracing the path to return to the past and places us before another frustrated occasion of a regeneration in the center-right that is promised as often as it ends up being thrown away. Changes of such depth as those of the spokesmen in mid-August, with the country sleepy by the holidays despite the coronavirus, increase the echo of a long-standing internal crisis that should have been resolved in a better way. Of course, an interview with El País has been perceived by Casado as an "attack on his authority" and that it has precipitated the dismissal of Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo. it does not convey the image of strength that every party with the aspiration to become an alternative government as soon as possible.

The leader of the PP has the legitimacy and the right to save his team and vary the strategies. But his steps are not without risk, to begin with that of disappointing so many supporters who recovered their illusion in 2018 with a vigorous message that was translated into a concise phrase: "The PP is back . " Casado prevailed over Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría thanks to a vibrant amendment to the last stage of Marianism , which had left the party, don't forget, withered. Rajoy , who had done such a great job to get Spain out of the terrible economic crisis and save it almost from bankruptcy, was wrong instead to trust everything to the economy. Didn't realize it 's politics, stupid .

Casado promised an ideological rearmament and set out on the path to recover his essential principles . He won because he was the one who embodied renewal, as demanded by the popular militancy so in need of ideological blood . The direction was very clear. And no one could be surprised that he placed a leader as combative and lucid as Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo as the spokesperson for the formation in Congress. His dismissal yesterday, paradoxically, is much more celebrated by those who would never vote for the PP than by many Spaniards who have never accepted that the center-right falls into the Moncloa trap that successfully presents the opposition as radical if it does not submissively bow to the Government and their policies . Alvarez de Toledo was right yesterday when he regretted that in Spain today the rupturist nationalists and the radical left have the ability to establish what moderation is. Bitter irony.

What happened finally supposes a transfer of Casado to the barons of the party. But now it forces him to explain what the return to a centrality that seems to resemble so much the Marianism that he promised to overcome means and what translates into. If the new strategy of the PP once again meant avoiding conflicts, taking the edge of ideological battles, and ceasing to have a firm position in the cultural debate, the popular would be making a profound mistake. For now, it would be very worrying if the head of Álvarez de Toledo is the offering to the Government to close pacts in matters as relevant as the renewal of the Judicial Power that suddenly cease to have as limits the regeneration red lines that the government has been successfully defending. PP.
