Call Arrimadas and Abascal will go to the demonstration in defense of Castilian and Feijóo delegates to Cuca Gamarra
Vox and, above all, Ciudadanos, are taking advantage of the fact that Alberto Núñez Feijóo will not go to the constitutionalist demonstration on Sunday in Barcelona to try to erode the leader of the main opposition party.
The president of the PP will not attend the mobilization called by the
Escuela de Todos
association , in defense of the use of Spanish in Catalan classrooms and against the language policies designed by secessionism, because he must close the Interparliamentary meeting of his party at 12:40 p.m. hours, in
Toledo
.
That is, 10 minutes after the protest in Barcelona begins.
So he will be replaced by Cuca Gamarra, general secretary of the popular, together with the MEP
Dolors Montserrat
and
Alejandro Fernández
, president of the PP of this community.
The representation of Vox will be led by Santiago Abascal and
Ignacio Garriga
.
And
Iván Espinosa de los Monteros
will be in Madrid, in one of the similar demonstrations organized by the association
Hablamos Español
in 12 other cities.
Vox and Cs have mobilized militants from all over Spain for this demonstration, and the
oranges
have chartered buses for those from other autonomies, especially from the
Valencian Community
and
Aragon
.
The PP has not come to that, but has asked its Catalan affiliates to come.
The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, who will be in
Barcelona
, made Feijóo's absence ugly yesterday: "It will be the same as Rajoy and he will kneel before separatism."
"Feijóo has complexes" in front of the nationalist parties, she criticized, during a visit to
Zamora
.
"They believe that to be liked you have to be okay with nationalism, but what you have to do is have a modern project that guarantees equality," he added, before assuring that the PP "does not say the same thing in Zamora, in the
Basque Country
or in
Catalonia
», something that he has affirmed if he does his party.
In the PP they assure that, precisely, that is one of the strengths of the new Feijóo project: that it has its own "accent" in each community.
«What harms us is not sticking to what each land feels;
Saying the same thing everywhere is a mistake," says one of the main barons of the PP, who applauds Feijóo's commitment to "constitutional Catalanism."
«That avoiding the controversy of Catalanism seems good to me to avoid susceptibilities;
It is a strategic issue more than anything else, ”adds this same baron.
In
Genoa
they justify that Feijóo does not have the gift of ubiquity and cannot bilocate, because he already had this appointment scheduled with the parliamentarians of his party.
But the truth is that the Inter-parliamentary was announced, in an internal circular signed by
Pedro Rollán
, on August 9, while the Escuela de Todos association called for its mobilization on August 31.
In addition, the representatives of the platform in defense of 25% of Spanish in Catalan classrooms went to Congress on July 28 to ask PP, Cs and Vox for help to make the appointment a success.
In the case of the popular ones, they met with Gamarra;
and by Vox,
Georgina Trias
.
Revulsive for Citizens
In Cs they want the demonstration for compliance with the sentences on the use of Spanish in the classroom to serve as a revulsive to recover vital signs, at a time when their demographic expectations do not go up.
Hence they will throw the rest.
And since they learned that Feijóo was not going to change his agenda to arrive on time, all the more reason, since no one is unaware that there is a high percentage of the Cs votes in Catalonia that can swing towards the PP, and Arrimadas wants stop that leak.
Not in vain, Catalonia -and specifically the fight against the «apartheid» of the Catalan constitutionalists, as Feijóo called it- is the kilometer zero of the
orange
formation .
In the Arrimadas team they assure that they have been the only ones who have really turned to this key appointment for constitutionalism: «Unlike the PP, but also Vox, the involvement of Citizens in the demonstration on Sunday is total since Escuela de Todos announced the call.
Inés Arrimadas announced on July 31 that she would attend the march, unlike Abascal, who announced it this Monday, and Feijoo, who will not participate.
Arrimadas has transferred to
Ana Losada
, president of
the Assembly for a Bilingual School
, "that the demonstration and its claim are a priority for Citizens and that the party will be involved in achieving maximum participation, especially in Catalonia, but also in the rest of the Spain », according to Cs sources.
In addition to the president of the party, Edmundo Bal and regional leaders such as those from Aragon and the Balearic Islands will attend the demonstration.
In communities such as Aragón and the Valencian Community, affiliate trips have been organized to join the march.
Both the president of Cs and other leaders of the self-proclaimed liberal formation have shared videos on their social networks "encouraging all Spaniards to join this mobilization."
