Juanma Moreno puffs out his chest and vindicates the strength of the Andalusian PP: "It has been key"

Juanma Moreno has vindicated this Tuesday the specific weight of the Andalusian PP in the national party as a whole after the results obtained last Sunday in the general elections, in which Andalusia was, as the regional leader of the popular ones highlighted, the region that most grew in votes compared to the November 2015 elections and the one that contributed the most deputies, 25 of the 132 achieved by Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

Moreno has gathered his regional board of directors to analyze the 23-J one day after the national president did the same in Madrid and the conclusion, said the also president of the Board, is an incontestable victory of the PP in all of Spain that in Andalusia is even more forceful.

It is “where the PP vote has grown the most, more than 80%, and the one that contributes the most deputies,” Moreno insisted before the leaders and officials of his party. They are ten seats more than those obtained in the last electoral appointment and 700,000 more votes.

To this is added, he stated, that the PP has won in seven of the eight provinces -in all but Seville- and that it is the “only party that has won seats” and that it contributes 21 senators to the comfortable absolute majority that , yes, the Popular Party has obtained in these elections.

With these arguments in hand and asserting that Andalusia is the great granary of the PP and he the main baron of the party, Moreno took the opportunity to make a fiery defense of Núñez Feijóo, the “preferred” by the voters, he repeated several times to throughout his speech.

He has been the one who, he recalled, “has united the party” when it was in a “critical situation” and has managed to make it become the “first political force in the country” and praised his intention to attempt the investiture despite the lack of support, Something that shows that you are a “caliber” person. At the same time, he highlighted the “human and political stature” of the national president of the party, which he contrasted with Pedro Sánchez, willing, he criticized, to do “whatever” to retain power.

The Andalusian PP, he guaranteed, will continue to be by Feijóo's side and will work for his investiture. “We have a lot to do, there is a complicated month of August left,” he told his people in a public declaration of loyalty to the president of the PP.

Along the same lines that his party has been maintaining, the Andalusian leader emphasized that, in the event that he manages to be sworn in, Sánchez will be the first president to have lost an election, something that “has never happened since the restoration of democracy” and warned of the instability of that hypothetical socialist executive.

“It is true that Sanchismo can form a majority for the investiture for one day, but it will not be able to govern for even a year under these conditions,” Moreno said.

Opposition to Sanchez

In any case, if that circumstance occurs, if Sánchez manages to be inaugurated in the Congress of Deputies, the Andalusian PP, through the Junta de Andalucía, will act as an opposition and will fight him.

“Let no one think that the social majority of Andalusia is going to be cornered, they are not going to remain silent in the face of the personal interests of Pedro Sánchez,” warned the regional president.

Andalusia, he added, will exercise “its leadership role to defend the interests of Andalusians and the framework of constitutional Spain.”

In order to do so, he insisted on asking his party to trust itself and continue to be tense and working to consolidate its role as the first political force in the community, not to fall into complacency after, as Moreno also highlighted, it has achieved the feat of chaining three victories in the last three electoral appointments.

The Andalusian PP achieved 1,588,179 votes last Sunday, representing 36.44% of the total and the third consecutive victory for this formation, which has thus completed a complete electoral cycle without defeat. The number of ballots obtained by the formation of Juanma Moreno is much higher than that of the previous general elections, just over 877,000 on November 10, 2015, and that translates into 25 of the 61 deputies that the autonomous community contributes to Congress of the Deputies.

So far the objective data of 23-J for the PP of Andalusia, which confirm an indisputable victory. But the nuance is in the comparison with the results of the regional elections of 2022 and of the municipal elections on May 28, when in addition to being incontestable, the victory was overwhelming over the great socialist rival.

For this reason, the problem for Moreno on this occasion is that the distance he has taken from the PSOE of Juan Espadas is much less, just under 129,000 votes and just three points of difference in the percentage of votes.. There has been surprise, but by the minimum.
