It is ready, very close, almost done.

But not confirmed.

The leader of the Popular Party,

Alberto Núñez Feijóo

, has hinted this Thursday that the current mayor of Zaragoza and president of the PP in Aragón,

Jorge Azcón

, will be the candidate for the Presidency of the Government in that community in the elections next month of May.

But Azcón himself has stepped forward, minutes later, to deny it.

"The decision is mine" and "the PP of Aragón", he has said, and therefore, not of Genoa, which is undisguisingly pressing him to take the step.

But he, who is about to, has not yet made the final decision.

Of course, sources from the leadership of the PP in Aragon assure EL MUNDO that the unequivocal interest of Feijóo and the pressure from Genoa mean that Azcón cannot make another decision, but he wants to wait and plans to announce it before Christmas.

In an interview on Onda Cero, Feijóo asked to wait until the end of the year to find out the names of all the candidates and added that he would like the decision to be announced by Azcón himself.

"Let's wait for him to tell us," he said.

"You have to be respectful of the territories," Feijóo declared.

When asked then who will be the headliner in Zaragoza, he added: "Let's wait for her to tell us."

However, Azcón has appeared before the press to assure: "We are going to make the decision of who the candidates are going to be in Aragon, and we will do it with the established deadlines: end of the year or beginning of next year."

"I think Feijóo expresses his opinion and is free to do so," said Azcón, who has taken it as "a vote of confidence."

But "we are going to respect the terms of the PP of Aragon", he has emphasized.

"It is one thing for Feijóo to have an opinion and another thing is that the final opinion is mine," he stressed.

"I am going to make my own decisions", he has defended.

And have you already taken it?

"No", he has answered him, concise.

When?

"Before the end of the year", in principle.
