Alberto Núñez Feijóo will be able to confront Pedro Sánchez face to face.

The new president of the PP will be appointed in the next few days senator by autonomous appointment in representation of

Galicia.

This has been confirmed this Sunday by PP sources.

Juan Serrano,

a senator by regional appointment at the proposal of the Galician Parliament, will present his resignation on Monday and the Galician PP will propose Feijóo to fill the vacancy he will leave.

"In this way, in the next few days Feijóo's departure from the Xunta de Galicia will be formalized, the process of his replacement in the PPdeG will be completed, and his arrival in the

Upper House will be activated,"

the sources point out.

From his new parliamentary seat, Feijóo will have the opportunity to question the President of the Government in the control sessions that are held on Tuesdays, but very rarely.

In fact, in the last 12 months the spokesman for the

popular

in the Upper House,

Javier Maroto,

has only been able to engage in debate with Sánchez on six occasions.

Why?

Because it is the president who decides when to go to the Upper House and he does so approximately once a month, during sessions, and with exceptions.

Now Feijóo's arrival will put pressure on him to attend these debates more regularly, since the PP will argue if not that the chief executive is afraid to confront the opposition leader.

From his position as senator, Feijóo will also be able to attend all debates in Congress that are not secret and sit in the Chamber, although today he rules out becoming a stone guest of the Lower House.

Within the framework of this renewal, "it is also planned that tomorrow Elena Muñoz

will resign as senator by autonomous designation ,

and the person proposed to replace her in the exercise of said functions will be

Miguel Tellado

," they add.

The new deputy secretary of the National Organization of the PP is Feijóo's right hand and will accompany him in the Upper House.
