Ciudadanos keeps Bal in Congress but appoints Guillermo Díaz coordinator to control the parliamentary group

• Chronicle Inés Arrimadas after the refoundation: "I said no to all the offers of the PP. Either with Ciudadanos or with nobody"

• The parliamentary group, the first 'powder keg' for the new leadership of Ciudadanos

tandem is

already scoring its first points.

The new leadership of Ciudadanos has managed to put out the great fire that generated uncertainty in the party, the health of the parliamentary group, and will maintain the current structure in the delegation in Congress:

will be the parliamentary leader and

, despite the loss of confidence with the former

president , he will continue as deputy spokesperson.

However, the leadership of Ciudadanos has agreed to the creation of a new position that, as a link with the leadership, will coordinate the relationship between the party Executive and a parliamentary group full of critical voices with the new leadership of the Liberals.

A position that will fall on

, spokesman for the team that piloted the refounding of Ciudadanos and the only deputy who openly supported Inés Arrimadas in the primary process.

The parliamentary group was, since the

ended last weekend and the path of re-founding, the elephant in the Ciudadanos room.

The majority of its nine deputies back Edmundo Bal against Inés Arrimadas, who will continue as leader in Congress despite only having the explicit support of Díaz.

Therefore, the departure of Bal from the Lower House was ruled out.

Thus, the counterweights and power struggles within the

formation invited us to believe that, despite winning the primaries, the candidacy of Patricia Guasp and Adrián Vázquez would not carry out major changes in its spearhead, which is the parliamentary delegation in Congress, but it would exalt Arrimadas as the party's parliamentary leader and would keep Bal as deputy spokesperson for the party in Congress.

The new leadership of the party was expected to announce last Monday, just one day after closing the re-founding conclave, the continuity or change in the group's structure.

But the new leaders postponed any decision and scheduled a series of meetings "with all" the deputies throughout the past week with the aim of "turning around" the situation, according to sources from the new liberal leadership.
