Feijóo boasts of lists against Sánchez's "cabalas, puzzles and exchanges" for 23-J: "I feel with my hands free"

With 40 days to go before the polling stations open, the leadership of the Popular Party does not doubt: “We have sought the best”. Alberto Núñez Feijóo boasted this Tuesday of the freedom he has had when preparing the electoral lists for 23-J in the face of the “cabalas, puzzles and exchanges” that have marked the design of the socialist candidacies and that have unleashed the war between Ferraz and territories such as Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha or Asturias.

“I have felt with my hands free to make the proposal,” acknowledged Feijóo, who brought together fifty popular list heads to Congress in Aranjuez to present them as the best prepared to fulfill the “desire of a majority of Spaniards who demand a new stage” in national politics.

The lists are not yet known, although the leaders of each province are.. Feijóo has undertaken a profound renewal -75% of new faces-, with important signings from other brands, such as Sergio Sayas, formerly of UPN, in Navarra, or Nacho Martín Blanco, formerly of Ciudadanos, for a constituency as important as Barcelona. As part of the deep renewal, the popular president has included the hard core of Genoa as leaders of their respective provinces.

A team with a “greater responsibility”, specified Feijóo, more if possible after comparing himself with how the rest of the parties are dealing with the design of the lists. “The candidacies speak”, he admitted: “bunkerized” parties, formations that “go out to lose” and place their like-minded, “acronym soups” and “purges”. The continuous internal battle that Podemos is experiencing, now with Sumar, has infected the PSOE, which lives, considered the leader of the PP, a “final implosion”.

The “end of sanchismo”, which the PP considers to have less than a month and a half left, is marked by “division, confrontation and deterioration”, something that has been verified in the significant anger of the barons Socialists, who last weekend confronted Sánchez in the Federal Committee of the party, accusing the president of maneuvering to include his like-minded on the lists and purge trusted people from the territorial leadership.
