• Politics Feijóo promises to recover "the PP of the absolute majorities" and fills its Executive Committee with Marianists

  • Farewell Casado says goodbye: announces that he is leaving the seat and "any responsibility" in the PP

On Monday,

Elías Bendodo

traveled to

Galicia

to meet secretly with Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

Only a handful of people knew about that trip, which was shrouded, like everything that surrounds the Galician leader, in a cloak of secrecy.

“Forms are the guarantees of things”, Feijóo usually says, and in his case the guarantee of forms is secrecy.

In the discretion of that trip, the designation of Bendodo as general coordinator and

number three

of the PP was forged.

But that will not be the only Andalusian appointment of the new PP, as popular

sources reveal to this newspaper

: «

Andalusia

will have even more weight in the leadership».

The truth is that the first conclusion of the

XX congress of the PP

is that Andalusia and

Galicia

form a clear "tandem", as they underline in the

Junta

.

To begin with, Juanma Moreno becomes Feijóo's substitute as "dean" of the barons - that is how he wanted to anoint him himself - and the main pillar of the new

popular

president's project .

In fact, it has been both who have paved the way for renewal.

“They have been preparing this together from the

National Board of Directors

”, that is, since March 1, sources close to both explain.

«This they have given birth to together;

The one who encourages Alberto to take the step is Juanma, ”insists another source from the Board.

"They speak very, very often and politically they are very close," they add in Galicia.

"Andalusia has been the land [chosen] in the key moments of the PP, and in those moments there has always been a Galician," Feijóo emphasized in his candidate speech.

"To take note," he suggested, in another clear nod to the party's distribution of power.

"You can not imagine the gasoline and the illusion that you are introducing in all this Andalusian PP team," Moreno replied.

If in the era of Pablo Casado, which is now behind, the ideological axis and the natural battlefield of the PP was

Madrid

, now the living forces of the party move to Andalusia and, naturally, to Galicia, although with Isabel Díaz Ayuso as a third leg of the power equation of the

popular

.

"Without triumvirate there is no

Moncloa

", summarizes a PP painting.

In that sense, Ayuso marked his profile yesterday and threw a dart at the outgoing president: "This congress is the response to a crisis that should never have existed," she said.

Although Esteban González Pons and Mariano Rajoy insisted that "no one is left over" in the PP.

After the departure of Casado - who yesterday announced that he will leave the seat and "any responsibility in the PP" -, the Madrid baroness will carry the party's ideological banner, but the new PP will focus more on management and the task of " broaden» the bases towards the center, as Feijóo and Moreno have called for so many times in recent years.

The appointment of Elías Bendodo is a real boost to that operation, by way of fait accompli.

"The idea is to strengthen the team with a person who serves as a liaison with the deputy secretaries, who actively collaborates with the general secretary, and who contributes organizational, institutional and management experience to the project," said the Galician leader.

For now, Bendodo will combine his Andalusian responsibilities (adviser to the Presidency and spokesman for the Board) with his new organic position.

But as this newspaper has been able to learn, the brand new

number three

of the PP will not continue as Andalusian councilor after the regional elections that will be held this year "and will focus on national politics."

Until then, he will continue to act as Moreno's right hand to try to win and continue in the

San Telmo Palace

.

On the verge of a crucial campaign, Andalusia is now the nail on the fan.

Aznar detected it without having to be present in the Sevillian auditorium.

From his house, confined by Covid, he opened his cloak as soon as his speech started, invoking "that great Andalusia that has always known of its potential and its wealth, but needed someone to tell it" .

"With you, Andalusia has believed in it again," he said before the more than 3,000 attendees at the congress, in which there were also 430 accredited journalists yesterday.

"We cannot fail," said Aznar, who asked to "play big" and "leave mistakes behind, but not people," referring to Pablo Casado, whom he praised for taking the step when it was most difficult.

Casado responded by claiming that he "always" told the truth and promising "Castilian discretion."

The

Organizing Committee

planned a tribute to the 1990 Seville congress that underpinned Aznar's leadership, but the truth is that the real recognition was given to himself by Mariano Rajoy's PP.

With Feijóo, the Seventh Veteran of the match has recovered his morale and optimism.

And he believes that the new team "looks good", as Rajoy himself said.

That generation feels integrated into the PP again, as if they had skipped the Casado stage.

For the Marianistas and the Sorayistas (claimed yesterday in their exile by Rajoy), these four years are now converted into a mere parenthesis.

They will occupy a large part of the positions of the new

National Executive Committee

.

Decentralization and "autonomization" will be reflected in the new PP.

The general secretary of the

PPdeG

,

Miguel Tellado

, Feijóo's right-hand man, will play a crucial role.

And Esteban González Pons will also enjoy organic gallons.

"Intelligent and effective diplomat," Feijóo praised him.

All the territories will have a presence in the second levels of the Genoa dome and Feijóo will give freedom to the barons.

"The protagonists in their communities will be them, not Genoa," summarizes the new president's team.

This is something that Moreno reminded the candidate yesterday: "Never forget where you come from."
