• Congress The PP begins a new stage with a view to the Generalitat: it seeks the center by opening up to pacts to the right and left

The president of the Popular Party, Pablo Casado, warned this Saturday in Valencia of what the next step in Pedro Sánchez's strategy could be after the granting of pardons to

procés

leaders

: "If the pro-independence activists force him, there will be a

referendum

that it will break national unity, but we are not going to allow it. " Casado was referring to the demand by the independence leaders for a self-determination referendum, which Sánchez himself has discarded in a statement that ERC has not even believed.

Casado, who has closed the XV Congress of the PP of the Valencian Community in which the new leader, Carlos Mazón, has been elected, has accused the Prime Minister of a

"massive deception" of the Spanish

. "We Spaniards do not deserve a government that lies to us," he said, referring to the Federal Committee of the PSOE that meets today in Madrid as "the silence of the lambs." They are "accomplices", he said of the socialist leaders who have ended up endorsing the policy of pardons.

For the leader of the

popular

, "the pardons have only served Sánchez" to pay for his inauguration and they will not even be enough for the lack of a legislature. "" They are cowards, they have sold everything they promised in the campaign for a few months in Moncloa ", has insisted Casado in a very harsh speech, in which there has been criticism of" other deceptions ", such as the pension or labor reform and the approach of ETA prisoners to Basque prisons.

" We always have we will tell the truth no matter how much it hurts, "he

promised to insist that the PP is prepared to go to elections.

In fact, the Popular Party opens a new stage in the Valencian Community this Saturday. The enthronement of

Carlos Mazón

puts the Valencian party in total harmony with Genoa, after

Isabel Bonig

finally resigned to present battle for not having the confidence of the president of the PP, Pablo Casado, or the general secretary, Teodoro García Egea . Genoa thus manages to place at the head of the Valencian PP a person of his total confidence in a congress that has also been of unity.

Not surprisingly, Mazón has been elected with 99.6% of the votes.

"The future of Spain is written in Valencia by decision of Casado", has underlined the already leader of the Valencian PP, thanking the president of the party for the election of the Valencian capital for the next

national convention

in what is a boost to his new leadership .

The congress has also been chaired by the former president of the Generalitat,

Alberto Fabra

, but without the presence of the one who has been on everyone's lips in recent months, the also former president

Francisco Camps

, who vindicated himself as future mayor of Valencia in full takeoff of Mazón's congressional career with María José Catalá.

"Some say that everything started in Murcia, but I say that everything continues in Valencia," said García Egea, who has precisely ratified

María José Catalá

as "the next mayor of Valenciana" ... in an appointment to which no

Toni Cantó

has been absent

. "He will be at the height of Rita Barberá", added Casado later, who highlighted precisely the presence of Cantó and his "work for constitutionalism and the union of the center right." The paradox is that the former leader of Ciudadanos made his leap to the PP at the hands of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and that, after being left out of the lists, he himself left the door open to return to the Valencian capital. To the point that in Valencia there was speculation that he could return as a PP candidate for Mayor of Valencia.

Mazón, who remains president of the Alicante Provincial Council, has confirmed Catalá as the new general secretary of the Valencian PP and has announced a

new social turn

to the party's strategy. "Green code", "social code", "activism" ... are some of the new concepts that Mazón has used to show his new discursive bet.

On an organic level, this will take place for the first time with the

creation of a deputy secretary for civil rights

, focused on "equality" and for "all those who feel they are rejected", in the words of Mazón. The leader has announced two other vice secretariats on ecology and development and territory and culture. "We do not want anyone to tell us that our identity is different or that they come from elsewhere," explained Mazón, very critical of the policies of the Government of Ximo Puig and ready to recover the flag of Valencianism.

In fact, his presentation video has been full of references to

Valencian traditions and demands

: water, paella, the regional anthem, Senyera ... "The injustice that the Valencian Community is experiencing will end forever with the PP" , Mazón has sentenced.
