Politics The new internal war of the PP that bothers Ayuso: two councilors from Almeida fight for power in Carabanchel
The Carabanchel 'caucus' was resolved in Genoa, five days after the polls on General Ricardos Street revealed a surprising tie of 133 votes. The organizing committee has ended up deciding that the best solution is to put one person in charge until a new assembly is held. Both
Carlos Izquierdo
and
Álvaro González
, candidates for the presidency, decided to withdraw their claims, so the result, as reported to GRAN MADRID, is now firm.
The person designated by the executive committee to head this manager temporarily is regional representative
Esther Platero
. "She is a person accepted by everyone," 'popular' sources transmit. In this way, furthermore, this renewal can begin in the districts that
Isabel Díaz Ayuso
was pursuing and that, with the candidacies of Izquierdo and González, became impossible. "It is the best decision," they insist from Genoa, after the tie, "incredible" for some voices close to history, led to uncertainty that has lasted for five days.
In the next assembly, there will be new faces competing for the presidency. Because Izquierdo's continuity would have clashed with those
ayusistic
principles with which they intend to refresh the districts in the capital. Izquierdo and
Álvaro Ballarín
, after 22 years as president in Moncloa, are two of the black holes in the party's new postulates. Izquierdo was a councilor with Ayuso, Cifuentes and Garrido, as well as councilor-president of the district between 1999 and 2012. Since the last elections, he has held that office again.
Izquierdo's step forward to run for office caught the party and, of course, Álvaro González, his number two until now, on the wrong foot. He didn't like that decision. Nor was he seen as an ideal solution. That is why the fracture in the formation is evident, according to people close to the PP in that district. For this reason, too, from Genoa they have thought that the best option is for a manager to reset the situation. May the 'popular'
carabancheleros
reset their counter to zero after many years.
