Catalonia Elections: All the news of the Catalan elections 2021
February 14, 2021 Catalan Elections Calendar
For the national leadership of the PP, these
Catalan elections
are not just another electoral appointment.
The candidacy of
Alejandro Fernández
has been supported weekly since November by Pablo Casado, who knows that a good result on
February 14
would also be a boost to his leadership.
Already in the middle of the campaign, the most important territorial leaders of the party are joining the events organized in different parts of
Catalonia
.
After the visit, last weekend, of the president of the
Community of Madrid
, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, today Alberto Núñez Feijóo has shown his support, in a telematic act, to the list headed by Fernández.
"Catalonia needs more reforms and fewer ruptures to return to the first level of avant-garde in
Europe
", has advised the president of the
Xunta de Galicia
, who, with the credentials granted by its four consecutive absolute majorities, has vindicated "the
Party's
model
Galician popular
"both in economic management and in the cohabitation of official languages.
After several years with the identity debate monopolizing the media agenda, the PP has wanted to recover the policies of
economic growth and job creation
as its hallmarks also in Catalonia.
For this reason, Feijóo has focused a good part of his speech in the field of management and aid to the productive sectors: "We have shown that the way out of a crisis can be programmed with
tax cuts
."
The president of the Xunta considers that the
independence movement
"has turned the enterprising, open and cosmopolitan Catalonia into a closed and self-absorbed place, from which companies and financial institutions are leaving."
His recipe for a community that has a high number of citizens of Galician origin is to "manage the
pandemic
, unite society and start an economic and employment recovery."
Feijóo has not missed the opportunity to make the banner of "the proud defense of the
Constitution
, of freedom and of that
Spain
that respects the diversity of languages".
Likewise, although without citing them, he has criticized the PSOE and Salvador Illa for "saying 'no' to the independentists, but governing the whole of Spain with them."
In his speech, the candidate Fernández praised the government action of the leader of the
popular
Galicians, "a president for all", who has opposed "the sectarianism" of the secessionist executives in Catalonia.
The event with the president of the Xunta was held in the midst of a controversy over his discrepancies with Ayuso's decision to keep the
hospitality business
open
.
"Madrid has opted for a decision for which I would not feel responsible if I had to apply it in Galicia and, therefore, I have opted for another," Feijóo said in an interview published today in
La Voz de Galicia
.
Precisely, on Saturday in
Barcelona
, the Madrid president unambiguously referred to the restrictions on economic activity imposed by the
Generalitat
: "It is a crime that everything is closed with the climate in Catalonia."
Casado has tried to take iron out of the matter and, in an interview on Cadena Ser, he has assured that Feijóo and Ayuso "are doing exactly the same" to face the coronavirus, but that "the demographic distribution [of their respective communities] is not it's the same".
