• PP Feijóo premieres his new speech in front of Vox: "The Spanish do not want a country that is divided and confronts"

  • Politics What can the PP do with Vox?

    "If Feijóo seems presidential, he can make Abascal fade"

Thursday's meeting between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo is marked in red on the agenda of the new leader of the PP as the first flying goal of the new "institutional" profile of his party.

But, although both parties agree to welcome the possibility of reaching state agreements in the economy, defense or justice, Genoa does not trust the president's real "will to understand".

The

popular

ones would like there to be previous contacts to provide content for the meeting and to know the agenda: "We hope to recover a certain institutionality in the operation of these things."

The PP trusts the advances to Sánchez's "attitude", because he does not want the same thing to happen again as in the

Conference of Presidents of La Palma

.

There, Sánchez promised to "intensify" the measures that he had already announced, such as "tax cuts to cushion the impact of energy prices", but then he did not undertake additional tax cuts, but extended the existing ones and with that he gave for fulfilling the pact.

That "non-compliance" and the "discourtesy" of not telling the PP about the change in position on the

Sahara

have made the

popular

distrust

Moncloa

.

Deep down there is no doubt: they want to reach great state pacts: Feijóo will attend the meeting on Thursday to "listen to the issues that the president wants to transfer", with a pactist spirit.

What his team complains about is the forms: Sánchez has only sent Feijóo "an SMS" proposing the meeting, without explaining "what" specific issues are going to be seen in La Moncloa.

The central point of the meeting must be the economy, hard hit by the Russian invasion of

Ukraine

.

The new president of the PP will demand a fiscal gesture from Sánchez to reach an agreement.

And it will be open to negotiate the renewal of the

CGPJ

, without red lines prior to any issue.

But, yes, according to the general secretary of the main opposition party,

Cuca Gamarra

, it should be Sánchez who gives in, because he promised to do so.

«If a president has given his word and has signed it, he must comply with it;

we demand it because there is a formal commitment”.

So, isn't the PP going to support the validation of the decree?

"It is very important not to confuse moderation with submission and the vocation of understanding with surrender to the Government," was the long exchange that Feijóo's number two gave, without getting wet about the direction of the vote of his formation.

Of course, to highlight the new institutional aspect of the PP, Gamarra reiterated the "firm support for the Government of Spain so that everything that the Ukrainians need continues to be sent and so that the Defense budget is raised to 2% of GDP."

Gamarra complained that the royal decree of shock measures against the economic impact of the war "has not been agreed with the PP."

Another unresolved question: is the new PP willing to address an agreement on the renewal of the CGPJ?

“It has to be the Government that transfers it to the president of the PP, but it has not done so.”

The popular ones not only do not rule it out, but they are open to it, since Feijóo needs to demonstrate with facts his recurring words about great agreements beyond the acronym and in search of the "widening" of his party.

Gamarra also pointed out what the party's new speech will be in front of Vox, at a press conference after the first meeting of the newly appointed

Steering Committee

, the general secretary contrasted the management credentials of her party with those of

Santiago Abascal

: «We are a party who knows how to govern, and that means reaching out a hand [to the Executive] when there are more difficulties».

This pactist desire was criticized by Vox through the mouth of

Jorge Buxadé

.

"The PP has to clarify who to agree with, whether with Pedro Sánchez or with Vox," he said, before opining that the internal "tension" between the

popular

ones who want to turn to the center and those who want to ally with Vox "is still open."

Asked about this at a press conference in Genoa, Gamarra assured that "the Spanish do not want a country that is divided and confronts each other, they want dialogue and agreement, and that is where we are going to exercise leadership."

"From the dialogue and the search for the encounter is how the Spain that the Spanish need is built," she confronted.

«We have a majority vocation and we are moved by the general interest.

We focus on that », she affected.

And she assured that the call from the new president of the PP to Abascal "is not planned."

Was the possibility of advancing the Madrid PP congress as much as possible, as Isabel Díaz Ayuso demands, discussed in the Management Committee?

“Feijóo has told us that he wants to order the PP quickly and in a planned manner with regard to pending congresses,” said Gamarra, and for this reason the general coordinator,

Elías Bendodo

, and the deputy secretary of Organization,

Miguel Tellado

, have been commissioned , "to present this very week an analysis of the different pending congresses", to make point-blank decisions.

"We are going to celebrate them very, very quickly," settled

number two

, but "the organic life of the party is not going to be the news" from now on, he proclaimed.
