A political party, especially one that exercises government responsibilities in the different state administrations, does not belong to its cadres and not even entirely to its militants.
It is a fundamental instrument for political participation, as enshrined in the Constitution and, therefore,
it is due above all to the citizenry as a whole
.
In recent years alone, we have seen the implosion of different parties, their uncontrolled blasting due to errors and misunderstood personalities
of certain leaders.
But
It is certainly not the PP, immersed in its most serious crisis since its foundation, any formation
.
And in this delicate hour, he is absolutely obliged to attend to millions of Spaniards anxious about the future of
a fundamental and essential systemic organization for the necessary alternation of government
, essence of all democracy, which requires from its leadership without further delay the only step forward that is already possible for the sake of preserving the acronym: the
immediate resignation of Pablo Casado
and the
convocation of an extraordinary congress
from which a new leadership emerges that stops a hemorrhage that threatens fatal gangrene.
As the thousands of people who demonstrated this Sunday in front of Genoa have made you see in a
unpublished demonstration of divorce of the militancy with its controls
, Married and
Aegean
incapacitated themselves to continue leading the party that has pulled Spain out of some of its most difficult situations in the democratic era, both with
Aznar
as with
Rajoy
, and to which, without a doubt, the titanic task of rebuilding a nation increasingly in pieces after the unfortunate mandate of
Sanchez
.
Casado did not know how to take advantage of his leadership opportunity first, he later lost with maneuvers like the ones that now show him all moral authority.
AND
he no longer has the support of PP voters
, the great capital for any leader, as can be deduced from the Sigma Dos survey for EL MUNDO that we publish today.
Thus, the majority suspend him and up to 70.8% turn their backs on him and support
Ayuso
in one of the most base internal dirty war operations in living memory.
The fracture is such that rinsing is not worth it and it causes melancholy that in the last few hours some cling to acting as if nothing had happened, when
the PP slides down a steep slope that threatens the contours of the center-right
.
In this sense, the extraordinary bill paid by the PP for the explosion of this crisis is eloquent.
If general elections were held today,
the popular ones would already be widely surpassed by the PSOE and would only get 94 seats
.
But the most significant of
tracking
is that those of Casado fell no less than 4.2 points and up to 19 seats just the day after this newspaper revealed the espionage plot of the party's national leadership against the brother of Díaz Ayuso to find ammunition with which to blackmail her.
From the 30% in voting intention that momentarily raised Casado in May to the slipstream of the great success reaped by the Madrid president, everything has been a gradual loss of support, as was also found in the elections in Castilla y León.
Now,
Before the hypnotic spectacle of self-destruction live, the collapse is total
.
And the threat of
loss of hegemony in the center-right spectrum in favor of Vox
, which is just two points behind the PP.
A
sorpasso
, the one of
abascal
and theirs, accompanied, yes, by another devastating consequence of the plummeting of the popular ones, such as the fact that today the sum of these two formations remains far from the absolute majority, laying the red carpet for sanchismo to continue screwing to power .
We are convinced that
the PP will know how to close this harsh crisis and even that it can emerge stronger from the catharsis
.
But it will have to be yes or yes turning the Casado page.
