Alberto Núñez Feijóo landed in Barcelona today smiling and relieved for having already named his candidate for the regional elections on May 12. After a strong internal debate, Alejandro Fernández is the chosen man and the president of the party that wants to close ranks in public and has sent a clear and unequivocal message: "We have a real opportunity to be decisive in Catalonia." That is, to break the board, unite the constitutionalist vote around the

popular

ballot - he has made direct appeals to the electorate of Cs and Vox - and stand up to the PSC, ERC and Puigdemont, whom he has united in the same bag . "The three legs of the same bench are indistinguishable, interchangeable," he has warned.

"Don't let them fool us again. Voting for the PSC is not ending the process, it is continuing it. And while Sánchez needs the independence movement, the independence movement will rule," he warned about a three-party alliance that began in Congress and that, in turn, trial, will be maintained in the Generalitat if the figures are given after the 12-M elections.

"Sánchez needs Puigdemont to continue in the Moncloa, and Puigdemont needs Sánchez to be president of the Generalitat. And the rest are stories," he settled on the dependency between socialism and the independence movement, fueled by the transfers of the PSOE to Junts with amnesty at the center.

In fact, Feijóo has gone out of his way to present the PP as the alternative, the only reference for constitutionalism, a message with which the party wants to project itself in Catalonia. "It is the only path that will not lead to the

process,"

said the president of the PP. "Those who do not want the independence movement to triumph, for the rupture and fracture to triumph, then they only have one possibility, the Popular Party." "We are the only ones with real capacity to unite constitutionalism," he launched in reference to the voters of Cs and Vox, and also to those disenchanted with socialism.

"A quarrelsome boy"

Regarding the election of Alejandro Fernández as presidential candidate, the candidate himself has joked with Feijóo and the party's senior staff. "It was a delicate birth, but the child was born healthy, feisty, and he is going to let you sleep at night," jokes the Catalan candidate after his appointment. "And he was born a man!" The president of the PP has replied, who has praised the tandem with Dolors Montserrat, the new campaign manager.
