Shock.The congress of the PP in Seville leaves an open wound (and deep) between Genoa and the Andalusian PP
Interview.Virginia Pérez: "If a judge cancels the congress, we will vote again and I will run again"
Renovation: The provincial congresses, the door through which Casado wants to enter (at once) in the Andalusian PP
What happened in Seville "cannot happen again."
That is the
slogan
with which the national leadership of the PP intends to dissuade the Andalusian PP from starring in new internal confrontations such as the one that has taken place in the Sevillian congress, which this Saturday culminated with the proclamation of the Genoa candidate, Virginia Pérez, as president of the party in the province after a bloody
battle
that has not yet concluded and in which the courts could have the last word.
But although the team led by Pablo Casado has issued the warning and insists that repeating the Sevillian pulse is not an option and that
unity
is the only possible path, other battlefields are glimpsed on the immediate horizon.
They are the congresses that are still pending to be held in half of the Andalusian provinces, in which the PP must renew its
territorial structures
and in which, to date, the national and regional leadership of the party have not reached a agreement.
After the peaceful renewal was achieved in the PP of Granada and Córdoba and the re-election, somewhat less peaceful, of Elías Bendodo as president of the PP of Malaga, the congresses in Almería, Jaén, Cádiz and Huelva.
In all these provinces, positions are far apart and Genoa has made clear its interest in extending its
influence
to them
with like-minded executives and presidents.
At least in theory and publicly, the national leadership of the PP and that of Andalusia coincide in the desire for unity and the commitment to
dialogue
to agree on consensus candidacies that avoid new clashes and contribute to restoring the damaged bridges between Madrid and Seville.
As EL MUNDO de Andalucía has learned, the two parties - between which "there has always been dialogue", according to the Genoa version - have sat down again to talk about the pending provincial congresses that must have been held before the summer According to the
calendar
drawn up by Pablo Casado's team, with the general secretary, Teodoro García Egea, at the helm and as the main architect of a strategy that has the declared objective of controlling the party from below to strengthen the figure of Casado.
Contacts again
This same week, almost at the same time that a final and impossible integration agreement was being attempted in Seville, the interlocutors from Genoa and the Andalusian PP have resumed contact with a shared idea, that there are no
new battles
, but how to achieve it is another question.
Especially because Juanma Moreno's team does not give up giving up all the land to Genoa and losing organic power in its own territory.
And because Genoa, at the opposite extreme, has already declared that it is continuing with its
roadmap
and will not agree to modify it.
Thus, and according to sources familiar with the negotiation,
distrust
in what prevails right now in the relations between the national and regional leadership of the Popular Party.
They do not trust each other and the misgivings are enormous after the outcome of the Seville congress, with numerous attempts at agreement, almost until the last minute, which seemed like facts and ended up being frustrated.
In addition, there is the impression in the surroundings of the mayor of Carmona, Juan Ávila, the candidate of Juanma Moreno, that Virginia Pérez has gone to a certain extent
on her own
and has not respected even the pacts that Genoa was negotiating.
The discomfort became evident on Saturday, with the outstanding absence of the president of the Andalusian PP and the Junta, Juanma Moreno, at the closing of the Sevillian conclave as a
gesture of protest
and rejection of a party model that he does not share.
A priori
, the most likely battle is the one that could occur in
Cádiz
, where Moreno's candidate, the current president, Ana Mestre, faces an insurmountable obstacle without the consent of Genoa, the incompatibility of her position as delegate of the Andalusian Government .
And those of Casado do not want her at the head of the party in the province, where they prefer to place a reference cadadista.
In
Huelva
, the current president, Manuel Andrés González, does not want Genoa either and that same problem extends to the PP of Almería and that of Jaén, where the swords are raised.
The renovation in Malaga, still to be achieved
The congress of the PP in Malaga resulted in the re-election of its president, Elías Bendodo, who has been authorized by the national leadership to reconcile the organic position with that of counselor of the Presidency in the government of Juanma Moreno.
It was the result of the agreement reached by the national and regional leadership of the PP and which was extended to Granada and Córdoba, with consensus candidates.
But in the case of Malaga, the process has not been closed and there are pending fringes that cause tensions.
Specifically, the differences between Genoa and the Andalusian PP refer to the name that Bendodo insists on raising as his number two and general secretary, Patricia Navarro, who has already held this responsibility in recent years and who aspires to repeat.
But since she is a delegate of the Andalusian Government in Malaga, her appointment goes against the statutes and requires the explicit endorsement of Genoa, to which Pablo Casado's team, and more specifically Teodoro García Egea, does not seem willing.
The pulse has not ended and Bendodo insists, to the point that the Malaga secretariat is not still vacant.
