The former Minister of Health and former Mayor of Vitoria Alfonso Alonso has considered “our wounds closed” three years after being forced to leave the presidency of the Basque PP after a hard fight with the then Secretary General Teodoro García Egea. Alonso has once again starred in a political act to support the PP candidates of Álava Ainhoa Domaica and Iñaki Oyarzábal with an express appeal to “all” the citizens who trusted the PP in the past. The now president of the consultancy Acento has underlined the importance of “change” both in his city and in the whole of Spain with the general elections on the political horizon.

Alonos has starred in the first act in the official electoral campaign of the PP in Vitoria, the Basque capital in which he aspires to fight for the victory of his candidate Ainhoa Domaica. Three years after leaving politics, the former Minister of Health with Mariano Rajoy has recalled the 12 years of government in the Alava institutions of the PP of Álava to demand the support of “all” those who then trusted the party chaired by Ramón Rabanera .

Alonso and Rabanera, first, and Javier Maroto and Javier de Andrés, later, became the referents of the Basque PP when they reached the Mayor's Office of Vitoria and the presidency of the Provincial Council of Álava. However, since 2015, it is the PNV that rules both institutions and Alonso has returned to Vitoria to support the electoral recovery of his party.

“I feel part of this project,” said Alonso, who quietly left the PP in February 2020 and has been received by his followers with great displays of affection.. The former mayor of Vitoria has called for “awakening the consciences of the people” after the controversy over the inclusion of 44 convicted for their ties to ETA on the EH Bildu lists.

“We already knew that the EH Bildu lists were made by ETA members and it is a shame that Arnaldo Otegi is Sánchez's interlocutor,” said Alfonso Alonso, one of the Basque leaders who had to carry an escort for decades and lived through the years since he was a child. ETA terrorism drama. “I have not forgotten that the PNV made Pedro Sánchez president and that since that day the PNV and EH Bildu have competed every day in a race to support the government of Sánchez and Podemos,” Alonso warned.

The PP of Álava intends to recover the moderate vote that since 2015 has taken refuge in abstention and has even opted for the PNV to counteract the growth of EH Bildu. Ortuzar's party has already established as one of the central arguments of his campaign in Vitoria that the only options are to vote for the PNV or the “left nationalist”. Alonso, funny and witty as in his best political times, has demanded from “all” the moderate electorate that the next 28-M trust the PP again.
