The former president of the Government Mariano Rajoy could be the candidate of a sector of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for the presidential elections that will be held this year 2020. Rajoy, a great football fan, could be listening to the siren songs of the opponents of Rubiales.

The news was advanced by the newspaper Marca, which explains that the other possible opposition candidate, Iker Casillas, would not be available until 2024, and that has caused that "some assembly members have shuffled many names to be a candidate, but the most surprising of all is that of Mariano Rajoy. "

Shortly thereafter, in Cope's great game program, Juan Antonio Alcalá confirmed the information, adding that the former president of the Government and former leader of the PP could welcome the proposal.

It should be remembered that when Rajoy was expelled from the Presidency after the motion of censorship led by Pedro Sánchez between May and June 2018, it was a short time until he left the active policy and the presidency of the PP. Then he returned to his place of registrar of the Property in Santa Pola, and then asked for the transfer to Madrid and the change to the Mercantile Registry.

That happened in October 2018, when its new place in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid number 5 was published in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid.

La Cope added that the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, whose relations with Rubiales are bad, said Thursday: "Given the experience, I prefer anyone before Rubiales. As I don't know if Casillas is going to show up, I'm not going to say nothing".
