On this first day of the PP congress in Madrid, where Isabel Díaz Ayuso is the absolute and only protagonist, there has been a gap for the barons of the party, who have praised the Madrid president. After the internal explosion experienced in the game just three months ago, there was anxiety to close ranks and wounds, turn the page completely and make it clear that they are all at one… with Ayuso. The president of the Community of Madrid is the benchmark and Juanma Moreno was especially clear: «There was a desire for a congress in Madrid and a desire to put an end to sanchismo from Madrid!»
Feijóo’s day will be Saturday. The president of the PP will close the Madrid congress, after Ayuso’s intervention.
There, the speech of one and the other can be well compared, and the messages that can be crossed. Due to the close experience that has been lived in the party, everyone hopes that the Madrid president, now more powerful by taking absolute control of the party in Madrid, sends some message in an internal key.
For now, the barons closed ranks and almost shouldered Ayuso out of the Ifema compound. Everyone, including Fernando López Miras, a former confidant of Teodoro García Egea and Ayuso’s ‘respondón’ in past events, had words of praise and admiration for the Madrid leader.
“We are proud of you,” Juanma Moreno, the most popular of all, came to say, a little less than a month before his regional elections in Andalusia. Moreno, who is now the oldest baron after Feijóo’s resignation to take charge of the national presidency full time, assured that he takes Madrid as an example and as a reference to apply his successful policies in his land. Especially when it comes to his fiscal policy. Andalusia, he said, wants to compete with Madrid in this field and have the same tax system.
Fernando López Miras has insisted on a message that he had been repeating since last year: “It all started in Murcia…”. A message that the previous national leadership used to repeat a lot, perhaps to detract from Ayuso, for the electoral victory of May 4 last year. It was in Murcia, with the motion of censure, where a turning point was marked in national politics and in that of the PP, and it was there that the popular began to rise in the polls until they were ahead of the PSOE. But as López Miras has acknowledged, Ayuso “finished off” the job in Madrid. “And how did he finish it off?” The president of the Region of Murcia has stressed that brave leaders are needed, who take steps forward in the face of adverse circumstances, something that could be attributed to Ayuso, but also to Feijóo. A two for one in praising him.
It has been the premiere of Alfonso Rueda as president of the Xunta de Galicia. In his first public act in the match, he has not gone out of the script expected and expected by all, he has underlined his pride in the match’s acronym and has put Ayuso on a par with the greatest.
The president of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, has not been left behind and has recalled that Ayuso left the PP bases, and has reached the presidency of the party in reverse of what is considered normal: first he has won the elections and then he has opted for the presidency of the regional PP.
