• Policy: The PP considers the large State pacts proposed to the PSOE unfeasible
  • The proposal: Married guarantees the stability of the PSOE-Podemos Government if Cs facilitates the investiture of Sánchez
  • PP.Faes asks Casado to make opposition "from the deep firmness of moderation"

The barons of the PP left this Monday of the National Board of Directors of the party with the feeling that Pablo Casado has understood what the popular opposition message should be and, above all, the tone. In a more generalized closing of ranks than usual, the regional presidents agreed that the party should give one of lime and one of sand, firmly, but without bronchial gestures. Distance from Vox, but without giving truce to the PSOE and United We Can.

However, there is something in which the barons consulted by THE WORLD believe that the PP could step on the accelerator a little more, and it is in the search for state pacts with the PSOE. Therefore, they ask Casado to approach the socialists in the areas that the left captains because of "error", because "they belong to everyone", such as climate change, feminism or depopulation. And also in the reform of the pension system.

This newspaper announced that Genoa considered "unfeasible" the main State agreements that Married proposed to Pedro Sánchez, because of the "drift" he has undertaken in search of the support of the independentists. "What Sanchez could have taken with the PP, now ERC prevents it," they agreed in the national direction of the PP.

Now, territorial leaders ask to strengthen the government profile and the "sense of state" of the party. Therefore, they believe that Genoa must make an effort to understand the PSOE and clear the sambenito of the "tension" that the Socialists want to place them.

Sanchez himself took advantage of the reluctance of the PP on Tuesday to demand state pacts and place himself as well as the one that does not stop them. The deputy secretary of Communication of the popular , Pablo Montesinos , said at a press conference that "it is not credible that Sanchez says he wants to talk about state affairs with the PP the same day he appoints Dolores Delgado general prosecutor against the clamor of prosecutors , and the same day he recognizes Torra as an interlocutor. "

"This party has always offered state pacts, but the one who has never wanted to reach agreements has been Sánchez," he emphasized, before assuring that "the word of Pedro Sánchez is worth absolutely nothing."

Aznar's think tank asks Sánchez to neutralize

The barons, in private, believe that this path must be traveled to avoid past mistakes. "In April the current took us," says one of them, referring to the fact that they saw themselves talking about the issues that Vox put on the board and not about the big reforms, in which they can still reach out to the Socialists, as yesteryear. Not in all the subjects, but in the most social ones, where, by the way, more votes of the centered electorate are caught, say the same sources.

Although he makes a very different previous analysis, Faes reaches the same conclusion. Married should make opposition "from the deep firmness of moderation." For the foundation headed by José María Aznar, the new Coalition Government has only been possible "because the Spanish left, starting with the PSOE, has made an amendment to the entire Transition and the constitutional pact", renouncing the separation of powers to assume "the populist and nationalist creed that puts democracy above the law." And, therefore, he believes that the PP must weave an "alliance" with civil society that neutralizes the "sectarianism" of Pedro Sánchez.

In an editorial note released on Tuesday, the conservative liberal think tank warns that the seriousness of the Executive's plans is such that for the first time in democracy those who aspire to dismantle the democratic system "can do it from within, with a grateful gift "by the president.

"In a few days many indications accumulate that point to a worrisome impoverishment of our democracy," says Faes, for which those indications "speak of the claim by the radical left, with the socialist endorsement, of hegemonizing opinion and drowning the spaces of debate in the institutions ".

For the think tank , Casado's historical mission is to "assume that all effective opposition work will be branded as a treacher" and continue on his way without falling into that trap. And for "differentiating between sincere proposals for authentic State pacts from what turns out to be trick bids to neutralize the opposition." And between the barons and Faes ... he's married.
