Ciudadanos accelerates its Refoundation: "We are willing to create new acronyms that endure"

• The future of the Arrimadas party saves its continuity as leader of Ciudadanos "until" the refoundation is completed

• Renewed program Arrimadas will not resign and organizes a tour of Spain in the fall and an internal referendum after Christmas

Ciudadanos is determined to reorient the course of the party to forget the electoral bump in Andalusia and revive.

The refoundation as a liberal party has been underway for several weeks and will not stop even in August.

Because in September some of the new principles will be announced and in January a process must have been completed in which everything is in question.

“We are willing to create new acronyms that endure,” summarizes the shock

, spokesman

, coordinated by the deputy mayor of Madrid, Begoña Villacís.

The also deputy, in conversation with this newspaper, points to "immovable principles" as the best guarantee for the future.

"They are the table of the commandments."

The inalienable basis of this new project will be to defend "individual freedom against any imposition."

For the deputy, from this principle "the rest are trained", because when an individual has freedom, "the State cannot tell him what to do."

As a consequence of the rise of populism in Spain and the rest of Europe, according to Díaz, "due to an exhaustion of the

Western

It will be another of the "key" concepts that the party wants to champion because, they defend, what political parties are currently doing is "adopting an interpretation of reality instead of offering the facts to citizens so that they can form their own opinion."

The spokesman refers to the controversy that the approval of the

has caused , both in the opposition and in members of the former PSOE that were part of the Transition, and in which Ciudadanos voted against.

"We must combat the crisis in which the truth is found," he insists.

On freedom and truth they hope to shore up the party, in a process to the limit to survive after the last three electoral setbacks: in

and

they have gone from being half of the government coalition to not even being in the Parliaments and in

only endures Francisco Igea in the Cortes.

"We are willing to create new acronyms that endure," says deputy Guillermo Díaz

For the refoundation, Inés Arrimadas has delegated a "political team", a G8 led by Villacís (1977), the person who sounded like successor after the bankruptcy on 19-J.

The

of that committee is Guillermo Díaz (1978), deputy for Malaga.

And it is completed by

(1982), MEP and link with the European liberal partners;

(1978), deputy for Valencia and economic and financial expert;

(1977), spokesperson in the Balearic Parliament and the voice of the autonomies in that team;

and three faces from the municipal sphere, where Ciudadanos will play its penultimate bullets:

(1973), mayor of Ciudad Real;

(1975), Councilor for Urban Planning in Madrid, and

(1984), mayor in Santa Coloma.

In Ciudadanos they place their hope in those 2,000 faithful who have already signed up to collaborate in the refoundation and in the conviction that, despite the polarization in Spanish politics, bipartisanship is not going to return.

«In the motion of censure, Rajoy handed over the Government to Sánchez, but the solution to Sánchez cannot be a Rajoy two.

We do not believe that a reissue of the past is appropriate.

We need a party that agrees, that can look towards the rest of the options, ”says Díaz.

That hinge party wants to be Ciudadanos.

He defends the need for a liberal party because "the solution to Sánchez cannot be a Rajoy two"

The new project will focus even more on the middle class, which, he says, sets the country's political course.

"They have the paternity of Spain."

Faced with the possibility that voters identify the

renovation as a right-wing project that differs little from the PP, from Isabel Díaz Ayuso to the "responsible" government of Juanma Moreno, Díaz points out that the new brand that is being developed does not resemble in nothing to the policies applied by the PP and summarizes it in proposals that differentiate them: «Citizens voted in favor of euthanasia;

the PP, no.

The same with the regularization of medicinal cannabis, Citizens voted in favor, the PP voted against again.

Neighbors economically, different socially.

When this “accelerated process” is completed, Ciudadanos will arrive “with a new vehicle” at the municipal (May) and general elections (probably in early 2024).

Life goes to them.
