Why Ayuso and Almeida reject the signing of Villacís

«The doors of the PP in Madrid are closed for

».

The sentence, enunciated by a position of the popular in the region, is the general feeling of the vast majority of the members of the party.

Because nobody, neither at the regional level nor at the municipal level, wants to have the deputy mayor in their ranks.

Her relationship with

is non-existent after "the continuous criticism" of the leader of Ciudadanos.

With

there has been wear and tear.

"We have coincided little," Villacís herself acknowledged yesterday in an interview in EL MUNDO.

And thus Villacís's strategy of becoming "an internal current of the PP" vanishes.

At least in Madrid.

"It does not add anything to us at the moment," point out sources from the Madrid PP, who are not considering the option of having it or that Genoa impose it on them because

has always advocated giving freedom to the territories on the electoral lists .

And more in Madrid, with a leader in a position of strength as the regional president, who has no affinity with the vice mayor.

To this should be added, on the one hand, Villacís's strategy to distance himself from Ciudadanos, just two weeks after betting on the path of refoundation, which has not been liked by the PP in Madrid.

"If someone leaves her party like this, we cannot trust her," details another member of the Madrid PP, who recalls the "bad experience" in the regional coalition government with the orange formation and the disagreements between Ayuso and

.

But also with Villacís.

For example, the deputy mayor, when asked last August about Sol's opposition to the Government's energy saving plan, said: "I am more to manage than to the zascas of some and others."

Begoña Villacís: "Citizens have to take risks, sometimes you have to sacrifice acronyms"

Or with the reopening of extra-hospital emergencies last November, when municipal number two criticized the plan of the Ministry of Health, pointing out that: "if there is a health center open, there must be a doctor."

Hence, in the PP they open up before welcoming municipal candidates of Ciudadanos in municipalities of the region, but not Begoña Villacís.

«There we are interested because the person weighs more than the brand.

And there we do have to win, "popular sources pointed out to this newspaper yesterday.

The vibrations in the Palacio de Cibeles are practically traced to those of Sol. Villacís is not only not a priority, but, due to his profile, beyond the logical respect for the health of the municipal government, his presence in the popular ranks of the Consistory would cause discomfort.

Good eyes to other Cs assets

"She thinks that her figure is above the acronym and perhaps it is no longer so," some voices suggest.

The matter is not summed up in his belonging to another political force, since other orange pieces, read

,

or

, desired for a long time by the PP (much more from the Community of Madrid), do not generate suspicion that it would wake up (and wake up) Begoña.

Logically, the ties of these four years in office have been guilty of a high wear.

In the halls of the City Hall they insist on the idea that no one is capable of interpreting exactly what Villacís intends.

"I have no news or knowledge of any intention of the vice mayor and, on the other hand, the lists will settle in due course with the PP of the Community together with me as a candidate," Martínez-Almeida assured yesterday, categorically.

During a possible second legislature, a shadow that on some occasions has been somewhat uncomfortable does not pass through the mayor's head.

Surely neither by that of Villacís herself.

In those cabals towards 28-M, nobody in the PP thinks (or wants to think) about her.

That handful of votes that he could pull off in the capital no longer frightens him.

They consider that the decomposition of Cs is also being theirs.

Nobody sees it as an added value.

The doors of Sol and Cibeles seem closed to her.
