Popular Party and Vox impose the law of silence. Neither party wants to give many accounts of how the negotiations to elect Carlos Mazón’s successor in the Valencian Community are progressing. According to sources from both parties, after the call between Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascalwhich LA RAZÓN advanced,, no further conversations have taken place. Although they don’t convey that feeling.
Everything seems to indicate that the pact is about to fall. To begin with, because both parties agree on the need to provide stability to a region especially weakened by the ravages of the worst natural disaster in this century.
To continue, because the Popular Party, as confirmed to this newspaper by various sources, has completely ruled out the “Catalan route.” It is no secret that for the replacement of the still regional president, in Genoa they have always thought of the mayor of the capital, María José Cataláan asset that, for now, will continue on the bench. She could be the one chosen, because she is a deputy in the Cortes. But it would cause a real internal and perhaps also external schism. Because his profile is not exactly the one that Vox likes the most.
For the current moment, the priority is a name that both parties like. No matter how much the green formation insists that the important thing is not the faces but the policies. Although neither the PP nor Vox talk about Juanfran Pérez Llorcait is taken for granted that he will be the one who takes the reins of the Government.
First of all, because he has good relations with Vox. Secondly, because he is the number two in the party. Thirdly, because the national leadership likes him as a transitional person to, in the future, if the plans go as Feijóo wants, to name Catalá as a candidate. By 2027.
Popular sources play tricks on the state of the talks. They neither confirm nor deny that the still general secretary of the popular Valencians has already picked up the phone to call Vox. Meanwhile, the green party assures that the popular party has not released any names. But they neither confirm nor deny whether they have begun negotiating.
Publicly Vox has reiterated: «Vox is not going to talk about people with anyone. He is going to talk about policies and the President has set two very clear conditions regarding contacts with the PP: fight against the Green Pact and uncontrolled illegal immigration.
The PP spokesperson in the Senate, Alicia GarciaHe added yesterday: “The negotiation is not about names, but about providing stability and certainty.” The popular ones believe that the toll, in reality, will be none other than the candidate reaffirming what was agreed upon.
