CGPJ Pablo Casado demands from Pedro Sánchez "an immediate meeting" to negotiate the unblocking of the CGPJ
Madrid Ayuso will present his candidacy to lead the Madrid PP
The intrigue film that has become the battle for the leadership of the PP in
Madrid
has taken an unexpected script twist this Tuesday. The mayor of Madrid and national spokesperson for the
popular
, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has assured that he does not rule out presenting himself at the party's regional congress in 2022. In fact, he has assured that he will decide whether to compete with the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso -who he has already announced his intention to run for office - "when the congress approaches."
Although it has affected that it is not planned "at the moment", it is the first time that the mayor of the capital sees himself as a possible contender for the leadership of the Madrid organization of the PP. Until now, he had always opted for a "third way" in which it was
Ana Camins
(currently, general secretary of the PP in Madrid) who presided over the regional apparatus.
The step taken by Almeida has been complemented by the statements of Pablo Casado. After Genoa had explicitly supported the candidacy of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the president of the PP has assured this Tuesday that both she and the mayor are two "militants of great weight" in the community and can not opt for any of them face to the regional congress of 2022. "Weight in which I am not going to count. The national leadership does not have to get involved in these processes," the leader of the
popular
has added
.
This has given wings to the possibility of Almeida appearing. After an informative breakfast that Casado starred in, organized by
Forum Europe
and attended by all three, the mayor of Madrid pointed out that his duty "is to maintain neutrality", since "it is the affiliates who have to decide." This is the first time he has left the door open to compete with Ayuso, who announced his candidacy last week. "When the time comes, we will make the decision," added Almeida, to pay that ground.
It should be remembered that the party's general secretary, Teodoro García Egea, gave Ayuso his "full support" in June, for being "a first-rate reference" and "not only in Madrid": "If I were an affiliate, logically my full support for President Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has shown that she works firmly and works for the people in her watchword, "he said then.
Since 2018, the leadership of the Madrid PP has been provisionally occupied by
Pío García-Escudero
, after the resignation of the regional Cristina Cifuentes due to the
Master's case
.
The
number two
of the apparatus is Camins.
But Casado, after the informative meeting, avoided getting wet about the future: "I can't satisfy journalistic curiosity. I never think about internal electoral processes."
It happens that that, not opting, is a way to put Almeida in the race against Ayuso.
In the rest of the autonomous communities governed by the PP, it is the regional president who also presides over the regional apparatus.
