Junta The Andalusian Government and Vox begin the thaw after discarding the electoral advance
Final tricks analysis against the rupture of the PP and Vox in Andalusia
The idyll that the PP and Ciudadanos maintain in the Andalusian Government, chaired by Juanma Moreno, is not, at all, the atmosphere that reigns in the
City Council of Granada
, the most important city in the country in which the
orange
formation
of Inés Arrimadas
governs
.
A war has broken out in the Town Hall in Granada's central Plaza del Carmen. Relations between the mayor of Cs,
Luis Salvador
, and the
popular
councilors
have been blown up in a crisis in which the possibility of the PSOE seizing power through a motion of censure is even being considered. And the striking thing is that
Sebastián Pérez
, the former PP spokesman in the City Council, would support her, who was everything in the 35 years he was in his old party: councilor, senator, president of the
Granada Provincial Council
, president of the popular in this province and member of
the
regional
Executive Committee
and the regional and national boards of the PP.
The trigger for the crisis has been, precisely, the resignation this Wednesday of Sebastián Pérez as councilor of the PP.
He leaves his party, but he plans to keep his act as a non-attached mayor, thus reserving the key to a possible motion of censure.
With his departure, the municipal government of Cs and the PP lost the majority.
The PP has now been left with six councilors, the
orange
formation
has four and Vox, with three.
In total, there are 13.
On the other hand, the PSOE, led by
Francisco Cuenca
-the most voted list in the last municipal elections of May 26, 2019-, has 10 councilors and IU-Adelante Andalucía, three.
The mayor who breaks the tie between the government bloc and the opposition is Sebastián Pérez.
This former PP councilor leaves his party because he demands that the pact reached at the beginning of the legislature be fulfilled so that Cs would occupy the Mayor's Office for the first two years and the
popular ones
, the next two.
The replacement had to be done this month, but the mayor of Ciudadanos refuses.
The local government has remained in the minority when the PP spokesman resigns
No one has offered a written pact in which this distribution of the Granada Mayor's Office would be white on black. However, the
Ideal
newspaper
has recently broadcast some audios on the negotiations and the distribution of seats between the PP and Cs, in which it is clear that there was an agreement between both formations so that the first two years an
orange
mayor would govern
and the two last of the legislature, another
popular
.
Cs is now going through a critical moment at the national level, after the failed motion of censure in Murcia and the political earthquake unleashed later, which has caused this formation to be left out of the Madrid Assembly, despite the fact that before the elections it was in the Government with Isabel Díaz Ayuso. For this reason, the party of Inés Arrimadas does not seem at all willing to lose the Mayor's Office of Granada, one of the last bastions of power that Cs can exhibit.
In fact, Arrimadas went to
Seville
this Monday, where he closed ranks with Mayor
Luis Salvador
and supported him to continue the four years at the helm of the City Council.
The leader of Cs remarked: "We are very focused on governing in Granada", a city of more than 230,000 inhabitants and the only provincial capital of Andalusia with a mayor of the orange formation.
"We are not distracted by trouble, we are doing a good job, in stability and in the responsibility of continuing to govern for two more years."
Arrimadas also referred to the statements of the former Popular Party spokesman Sebastián Pérez in the inauguration speech, when he said that the current mayor of Cs was "for four years."
Salvador addressed yesterday the situation of the Granada City Council in Madrid with the leadership of his party.
"It will be my leadership that will make the decision, apart from that there is no other type of element, there are no negotiations, there are no ultimatums, there is no need to set directions, there are no fights, it is a government team that has always worked well" Salvador said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the PP of Granada launches, actively and passively, that it will fight for a mayor of this formation in the Granada capital for the next two years.
The pressure towards Luis Salvador is
in crescendo
.
This week, which has been celebrated the Corpus Christi festival in Granada, the PP councilors have stood up to the mayor and have played cat and mouse so as not to coincide with him in the acts.
The isolation of the mayor is not limited to the councilors of the PP, because even the mayor of Cs
Manuel Olivares
has asked Luis Salvador to leave office.
He did so on his social networks, evoking
Adolfo Suárez
when he left the presidency of the Government: "I am leaving without anyone having asked me."
"Leaders, statesmen, great examples," says Olivares' message.
The
popular
provincial president
,
Francisco Rodríguez
, for his part, announced this Thursday that his party is even considering leaving the municipal government to force Cs to hand over the mayor's office.
Now, they are looking for different scenarios for the mayor to step aside and thus let the PP govern because it is the most voted list "of the center right", highlights Rodríguez.
The Andalusian leadership of the party tries to mark distances, keeps silence and refers to the PP of Granada.
On everyone's mind is the pact sealed on March 16 between the regional directorates of PP and Cs, with the approval of the corresponding national authorities, to shield the Andalusian coalition government and not steal elected positions, after the earthquake caused by the failed motion of censure in Murcia and the elections in Madrid.
Is this pact and the idyll of the Andalusian coalition government in danger due to the crisis in the Granada City Council?
The answer will be seen in the next few days.
