Pablo Casado

, meets tomorrow with the barons of his party, once he has convened the

Autonomous Committee

, made up of regional presidents of the formation, presidents of the PP in communities and cities autonomous and the general secretary.

This meeting, of which sources from the national leadership have informed Efe on Tuesday, takes place after yesterday the president of the popular chose to convene a

National Board of Directors

Teodoro García Egea

- demanded that an extraordinary congress be convened, and some of them threatened to resign if it was not convened, as reported to Efe several sources present at the meeting.

Aznar mediated in the Ayuso conflict and broke up with Pablo Casado after refusing to agree

One of the barons has given Pablo Casado a nickname: "The sixth sense."

As

Bruce Willis

in the

M. Night Shyamalan

film , he "he's dead and he doesn't know it yet."

Either he falls in the internal battle or he will also fall at the polls, reason in the main centers of power of the PP.

The resistance operation of the president of the PP is the most difficult comeback that has been undertaken in Spain since 12-1 to Malta, and his determination to endure is only interpreted as an attempt to tempt fate -waiting for the evolution

Tomás Díaz Ayuso

's case

- or to promote an orderly transition in the summer.

The difference is that the character of Bruce Willis nobody told him that he was dead, while Casado was told by Alberto Núñez Feijóo on Sunday night, in a phone call.

Later, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Juanma Moreno and Alfonso Fernández Mañueco sealed a granite pact with the Galician baron: the four go hand in hand in the request that Casado leave now.

"Better in 24 than in 48 hours," they insist, and not with the kick to follow of the call for a National Board of Directors next Monday.

Actually, there was a person who warned Casado that he was headed for a precipice.

And that he wanted to avoid his political death on time: José María Aznar.

The "nuclear" explosion of the PP could have been avoided.

As EL MUNDO has learned, the former Prime Minister tried to promote an agreement between Casado and Ayuso and put an end, in time, to the cold war that they had been maintaining since September, but was unsuccessful.

And Pablo Casado emulated Pedro Sánchez

There is always a committee, be it called the Federal Committee or the Steering Committee.

There is always a tense and historic day, Saturday or Monday.

There is always a party leader who is going to try to execute on that day to save a party.

There is always a resistance of the victim to be executed, just like that, after having surrounded him with editorials asking for his resignation.

There are always a few heart-stopping hours, broadcast live on television and social media.

No breath.

There is always an executor, inside or outside the Committee.

They are usually regional barons or baronesses.

There is always a signal to proceed to execution.

But not always the victim allows himself to be executed.

Or, at least, not so easily, and without resistance.

No matter how insecure and weak a political leader feels, it is not easy to voluntarily put his head on the guillotine.

Not even when the party's moral authority speaks from on high to show the failed leader the door.

Pablo Casado clings to a congress after leaving his own team: "Teo is the worst thing that has happened to you"

Pablo Casado's journey at the head of the PP is approaching its key hour while the four main barons -Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Juanma Moreno and Alfonso Fernández Mañueco- ask for his head.

In a tactical movement forced by the leadership of the party, the president of the main opposition formation will meet next Tuesday, March 1, with the

National Board of Directors

, the highest body between conclaves, so that it convenes the congress in which the future of the party, leadership included.

If it is not decided before because

Casado

gives in to the territorial leaders, who want him to resign now and long for

Feijóo

to relieve him.

This Tuesday the agenda of the meeting will be announced, which was initially convened for Monday, February 28, but was moved to Tuesday at the request of Juanma Moreno so as not to coincide with the day in Andalusia, in which a point will be the convening of the congress.

Once this procedure has been completed, the race to achieve a "unit candidacy" will begin, which is what his closest collaborators asked Casado this Monday.

espionage

It will be at the end of the session, through three urgent motions presented by the groups on the left: Más Madrid, PSOE and Recupera Madrid.

Madrid City Council in an alleged

espionage

plot

."

José Luis Martínez-Almeida

The CIS presents its latest barometer this Tuesday, made before the elections in Castilla y León and the war in the PP

The Center for Sociological Research (CIS) will publish this Tuesday its barometer corresponding to the month of February, whose interviews were carried out mostly before the elections on the 13th in

Castilla y León

and also days before the outbreak of the

crisis within the PP

.

As usual, the field work for the poll was carried out in the first days of the month, in this case in the midst of the electoral campaign of the regional elections that gave victory to the 'popular'

Alfonso Fernández Mañueco

, who did not achieve an absolute majority and now must decide whether to govern alone with multiple external supports or agree with Vox, which obtained 13 attorneys.

In those days, news was also marked by the controversial vote in Congress in which, thanks to the mistaken vote of the 'popular' Alberto Casero, the coalition government's labor reform was validated.

But the survey of the body chaired by the socialist José Félix Tezanos will not collect the consequences of the deep crisis that broke out in the PP last Thursday and that caused harsh crosses of accusations between the president of the Community of Madrid

, Isabel Díaz Ayuso

, and the PP leader,

Pablo Casado

.

Andrea Levy asks that there be no "sides" in the "process" that is now opening in the PP

The deputy secretary of Studies and Programs of the

PP

,

Andrea Levy

, has asked for "unity" and that there be no "sides" in the "process" that, she assures, is now opening in her party with the convening of a

National Board

of Directors , a previous step for the celebration, where appropriate, of an extraordinary congress.

At the end of a long meeting of

the PP Steering Committee

that lasted more than eight hours at the

Genoa

headquarters , Levy called for "exemplary behavior" from the entire party to overcome the "tear" that the

PP

has experienced in the last days.

Asked if he considers that the president of the PP,

Pablo Casado

, continues to have the support of a majority of the party to remain in office, Levy has limited himself to saying that he will have to be the one to say so "in the coming days".

"The important thing is that we all come out united in this process, that there are neither one and the other, nor sides. Unity, unity and unity," he proclaimed.
