Pablo Casado definitively says goodbye.

The outgoing president of the PP has announced that he is taking "a step to the side" and will leave both the seat of

and "any responsibility" in the PP despite the fact that, as he has revealed, he had an offer from Alberto Núñez Feijóo to work in some way

way linked to the party.

Does not want.

He officially goes to the reserve to start a new life and with the idea of ​​"giving back all the time that politics has taken away" from his wife,

, and his children,

and

.

"I'm leaving but I'll be back for everything you need, to help this great project wherever it's needed, and to support those who pick up the baton today after an impeccable career."

This is how Casado leaves the PP and politics, with a final speech at the 20th National Congress of the popular, where except for the final moment of his speech, when he did receive warm applause from the delegates, he has had a farewell a both faded and out the back door.

There were too many moments of coldness around the figure of him.

He was seen upon his arrival at the Palacio de Congresos in Seville or at his entrance to the auditorium.

Or in the atmosphere in which an explicit discomfort was breathed.

It is clear that the serious internal crisis that slammed his leadership in the PP to a screeching halt still stings, and a lot.

The vast majority of speeches were distant and affectionate references to Casado were few.

He acknowledged that "a feeling of injustice" has enveloped him at this time, although he wanted to consider that "overcome".

"I reaffirm that everything has been worth it and that any scar is the mark of the effort involved in working for Spaniards from the most important political project in our country, which is, without a doubt, the PP," he said.

Casado made a final speech to vindicate his legacy and defend that, despite his fall, his performance has made the PP "endure" and "recover" during his stage, after having taken the match at a very delicate moment .

And that thanks to his project he leaves the PP "at the gates of the Palacio de la Moncloa, after a hard journey in the desert."

But in addition to the past, Casado spoke of the future.

"From today we open a new stage in the party, and I will be the first to facilitate it and to support a good manager, a good politician and, for me, a good friend."

He offered himself to Feijóo to help him "wherever he is, for what you need and in what can be useful".

"Meanwhile," he stressed, "I will maintain the Castilian prudence and discretion that I have always shown, and that a Galician like you knows how to value in the face of noise."

This is how they remembered Casado

Those most faithful to Casado, those who were with him supporting him until the end in the internal crisis, were those who brought the name of the outgoing president of the PP out of the shadows and those who, in one way or another, claimed his work or expressed Your honey.

The most effusive was his deputy secretary of Communication, Pablo Montesinos, who declared to the media that

"has lost a great president."

, Deputy Secretary of Organization, also remembered him

, who in her intervention wanted to "thank" Casado for his "tireless work these years."

The most emotional, without a doubt, was the president of

,

, who showed her affection when she highlighted "everything she has done for the party".

"I love you and I will love you all my life."

The one who was the great bastion of Casado, José María Aznar, who is now disappointed with him because he has not displayed the "qualities" he has, appealed to affection at one point in his speech to talk about Casado.

"From here we have to leave mistakes but not people behind," began the former Prime Minister, who after briefly explaining his step, ended with "where do you want me to be [because he was not in the auditorium at that time] Thank you Paul for your effort.

Mariano Rajoy, as other PP leaders did before, distanced himself from Ayuso, advocating not to separate anyone.

"We must not do without anyone because we have no one left over. We must integrate everyone who has something to contribute to the common task. Whoever does not understand it that way does not know what a great party is," he said.

In addition, about Casado he pointed out that he valued in a very special way "his dedication, dedication, courage and enthusiasm when defending the acronym" of the PP in moments of "extreme difficulty".

For his part, Ayuso did not make any request to fire anyone, as he did in the

, but he did point out that this extraordinary congress is "the result of a crisis that should never have existed."

The president of

, Esteban González Pon, also alluded to Ayuso's words at the beginning of the congress, making it clear that his request will not happen: "Since then, we have been the party that has renewed itself by adding and not subtracting because there is no one left over here and here we are all necessary".
