The PP calls for a coup of authority from Feijóo in the face of the "chaos" with Vox and the "misgovernment" in Genoa

The management of the post-electoral pacts with Vox has turned the PP into a pressure cooker. If among the barons the law of “every man for himself” prevails, after each community has adopted its own discourse to justify the variety of agreements with those of Santiago Abascal, among the party cadres the initial confusion has turned into “discomfort ”. “What is at stake now is the Moncloa. We cannot put Feijóo's credibility at stake”, laments a popular leader, who points to the “misgovernment” that exists in Genoa as the cause.

Those who have worked on the noble floor in previous stages do not put hot cloths. “A secretary general, coordinator or whatever he exercises is needed,” they lament, while pointing to the plumbers Elías Bendodo and Miguel Tellado for not stopping the blows to Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The reflection is that Carlos Mazón should have been prevented from closing the agreement with Vox in times and conditions that have weighed down the rest of the candidates and mortgaged the leader's speech. They give as an example that the Galician has ended up having to resort to “impossible theories” such as the percentage of vote to justify the lack of common criteria.

Faced with this situation, in the popular ranks they ask Feijóo to give “a coup of authority” and bring order through an “intermediate”. The veterans explain that the current leadership is “misfocusing” on what the baronies are and warn that if the “command and command” of Pablo Casado and Teodoro García Egea was bad, the feeling of “lack of control” is no better.. This is where they miss Bendodo or Tellado, given that the general secretary, Cuca Gamarra, has never been in the organic, take command and protect the agreements with the criteria set by the boss.

“A barony does not mean that you can do whatever you want”, point out the same sources, who clarify that “having a free hand” gives some prerogatives, but also some obligations that go through “being sensible”, in a clear allusion to the pact In the Valencian community. In Genoa, they continued to maintain this Thursday that the origin of the chaos was that Mazón had given Vox everything it demanded and that from that moment those of Santiago Abascal have proposed the same framework in all negotiations, which is considered “unaffordable”..

How could it have been avoided? The answer to the charges of the party is in the newspaper library. They emphasize that Feijóo has been a baron for many years and knows that to do certain things you have to “have stripes”. “Ayuso and Juanma can be autonomous, but some candidates who are not yet presidents, no”, they assure to defend that a minimum criterion should have been established, especially in the programmatic field, to sit with Vox.

Last weekend, Feijóo tried to unify criteria with the order to avoid giving advice to the extreme right. After allowing the Socialists to govern in Barcelona and Vitoria, the message of “mainstreaming” gained strength, but the battle in Extremadura led by María Guardiola again demonstrated the lack of unanimity. The woman from Extremadura is willing to go to an electoral repetition because she does not want to give seats to a party that she describes as xenophobic or denier of sexist violence, while in the Balearic Islands the presidency of the Parliamentary Table is given to Gabriel Le Senne, who has in their social networks sexist and homophobic comments. In Aragon, Jorge Azcón does not want to give them seats in the Executive either and is negotiating with the PAR. Last night they reached an agreement for the distribution of the positions of Parliament, which will be chaired by Vox deputy Marta Fernández. “An agreement similar to that of the Balearic Islands,” sources from the leadership of the Aragonese PP pointed out to El Confidencial, who insist on separating it from the future Executive. “We do not close anything that has to do with the future Government. We created a work table for change”.

While the negotiations continue, the statements of some barons end up discrediting others. Juanma Moreno has sided with Guardiola, Ayuso was very harsh with those of Abascal in his investiture speech and Mazón surfs as best he can, while Fernando López Miras in Murcia is willing to go to the electoral repetition. The justification that “Extremadura is not the Valencian Community” does not serve to calm the spirits in a PP that fears that the road to Moncloa will be “truncated”.

In the polls that have been published, the effect of the multilateral agreements has not harmed Feijóo, who continues to widen his distance with Pedro Sánchez, although he needs Vox. “What is being debated now in the communities is the same as what will have to be faced after the elections,” warn the ranks of the PP. The collegiate leadership that Feijóo established in Genoa to distribute power after assuming command of the PP has not always been as fine-tuned as expected in the party. If the Galician is president, the staff of the main floor will be remodeled. There are internal pools that place Bendodo as a minister and place Tellado as a future all-powerful secretary general. Nobody knows, although many ask that Feijóo's right hand in Galicia now assume full control.
