The date was already set at the almanac: the last weekend of September. As reasoned exclusively. Now, the meeting point also appears: the city of Murcia. Vox Forty Capital. In the region it has reaped its best results since it broke into public life. In the Autonomic of 2023 it achieved 17.8% of the votes. In the generals it climbed up to 21.8%.
Now, Alberto Núñez Feijóoas this newspaper has been able to know for sources in its surroundings, has chosen this enclave, strategic in the Spanish right, to celebrate the third “retirement” with its barons, which will be centered, above all, on the immigration crisis. A movement that has special importance for the current moment: with the formation of Santiago Abascal In full democopic spring, promoted, among other things, for his speech against the arrival of illegal immigrants. The trend begins to worry in Genoa, where they want to put a tourniquete to the bleeding of voters by starboard.
A few weeks ago, the Secretary General, Miguel Telladotelephone to the regional presidents to ask them to block their agenda on the 26th, 27th and 28th of this month. As usual in the Galician Politburo, he did not give details of the place of the appointment. Among other things, because it was not clear. There were doubts to take the summit to one of the territories that will celebrate elections in the coming months – Castilla y León and Andalucía – or if, on the contrary, it was convenient to organize it in a place that, in itself, would release a message to the staff. “It will depend on the theme we want to deal with”recently advanced a leading leader of the dome.
Finally, Feijóo has opted for the second. In 48 hours and in a community whose sociology contributes many of the keys to what is happening today in the rest of Spain – for sample, Jumilla or Torre Pacheco, two proper names of this summer -, the national president of the PP and his territorial controls will study the strategy of the coming months, decisive for the future of the nation. There is hardly anything left for the new electoral cycle. The first assault is scheduled for March with the Castilian -Isneans and, then, turn for the Andalusians. In June.
The dynamics of the “retirement” is already known: reception on Friday afternoon, marathon day on Saturday, without mobile phones, and Sunday conclusion with speeches of the leader of the formation and the host on duty. This time, he will touch Fernando López Miras. A programmatic statement will also be signed. It will be the third, after that of Córdoba, in March 2024, and that of Asturias last January.
One of the strengths that the PP has is its autonomous power. The intention, therefore, is to deepen a Spain parallel to that of Pedro Sánchezwith a homogenization of policies that differentiate the regional governments of the central executive. Management as a counterpoint. As a letter of presentation.
In addition, in the ideological field, the PP seeks a clear positioning to harvest a “sufficient majority.” That is, ten million votes.
As this newspaper published, in the Feijóo team they consider that the center “He is already conquered” And the priority is not to give ground on the right. Hence, the opposition to Sánchez has hardened even more. The remaining legislature will be a battle without truce. In the popular dome they think that the real risk is not to respond forcefully to the PSOE. In fact, they have tested that, to more attack, more growth in surveys.
The latest studies that have reached the seventh plant reflect an upward Vox trend to which some leaders do not want to give much importance. “Artifice fires, the electoral reality is much more complex,” An outstanding regional president thinks. Another warns that Moncloa plays to gain weight to those of Abascal. And the dynamics of division, begins to bear fruit. Therefore, there are sectors that claim forcefulness and consistency. No direction turnings that mistake the voter.
In the ideological field, monotheme is immigration. Minors, freedom of worship, the arrival of people in an irregular situation. The PP designs a plan that offers an answer with a resounding, but intermediate positioning, away from the “goodism” of the left and the “xenophobia” of Vox. Another prominent issue in the next encounter with the barons will be the field, barn of votes for Abascal. In Murcia, the agroganader sector is capital. And Feijóo is determined to be launched by the rural vote, with the same of proposals in the oven.
