  • Crisis in the PP Pablo Casado seeks "a dignified exit" and calls an extraordinary congress

The general secretary of the Popular Party, Teodoro García Egea, has presented his resignation this Wednesday in the midst of the deep internal crisis that the party is going through, as sources from the party leadership have confirmed to Europa Press.

His dismissal had been one of the requests that several 'barons' and territorial positions of the PP have insistently demanded in recent days to plug the crisis, especially after the war between the PP leadership and the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

However, events have precipitated in the last 48 hours and what has been called into question is the leadership of Pablo Casado himself.

In the last few hours, the voices that have requested an extraordinary congress to elect a new leadership have multiplied, a conclave that will be set at the Board of Directors next Tuesday.

García Egea, deputy for Murcia, has been Pablo Casado's right-hand man in the last three years, since he won the XIX PP congress after a primary process in which he prevailed over former vice president Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría.

Until now, Casado had refused to drop his most faithful squire, who in the last two years has led the renewal of the party "from the bottom up" and that had led him to make some enemies with veteran positions of the party.

At the meeting of the PP's steering committee, some of its members, such as Belén Hoyo from Valencia -who today also submitted her resignation as president of the National Electoral Committee-- defended García Egea's departure in front of Pablo Casado to help resolve the crisis, according to 'popular' sources.
