The figure of Emiliano García-Page It has become a problem among the barons of the Popular Party. Some use it for their electoral interests, since exhibiting closeness with him helps them tune in with a very coveted center-left electorate. The most obvious case is that of Juanma Morenowho strives to hold his hand to the president of Castilla-La Mancha.
Others, like Jorge Azcónthey reproach him, however, that a lot of noise and few nuts. It was clear this weekend. The president of Aragon, denounced on Sunday in the reason that in the battle against the Catalan quota it does not seem very possible that Page can face common. Not to mention Barbón. About both, he denounced: “We are used to saying one thing, but when the time comes, they defend the opposite.” The truth is that Page calls from the ranks of the PP to stop Sanchez’s feet are constant.
But, internally, in the PSOE, beyond incendiary speeches, the socialist baron has never played all its letters. For example, it does not appear to have ordered its number two in the Territorial Federation, which is a national deputy, to vote against any law, in the case of the amnesty to those responsible for the Procesthat he himself appealed before the Constitutional Court.
Now, with the Catalan quota, there are barons of the PP that insist on the idea of putting together a common front with their socialist colleagues, such as the Andalusian, who announced that he would take the initiative in an act in this newspaper; others, however, rule out playing at Page’s door because they see it «Larking dog, little bites». In short, they consider that neither Barbón nor will they do anything apart from a staging.
Paco Núñez’s position
An opinion that has long shared the president of the Castellanomanche PP, Paco Núñezwhich, on account of the privileged financing for Catalonia, also located Page to sign a joint initiative in the Autonomous Courts and, today, still does not receive an answer.
In a letter, he began to “move from words to the facts” and proposed a common resolution against the Catalan quota. “It is time to act with forcefulness, we cannot allow the letter financing that breaks with the principles of equality, solidarity and cohesion between territories,” he warned.
“We have the responsibility of raising our voice before this injustice is consumed.” And in the event that the proposal to reform the financing came to get ahead in Congress with the support of the Socialists, he denounced: “If one thing is voted in Toledo and a different one in the Congress of Deputies, we will be faced with a political fraud and institutional betrayal.”
In recent years, Page has made counterpoint to “Sanchismo” to maintain its social support, an incontestable absolute majority that distinguishes him from all his party colleagues, starting with Sanchez himself.
To each independence assignment, he has raised his voice almost with the same intensity as the opposition. But he has never promoted an internal rebellion in the PSOE that manages to stop Sánchez, as the popular claims. Alberto Núñez Feijóowho has a good relationship with him, has chosen not to attack him, although he has launched more than a dart. After all, electoral interests weigh. Castilla-La Mancha is the only great socialist fief that has to conquer.
