Feijóo promises to the top staff of his party that the PP is heading for a “strong majority” to govern


Alberto Núñez Feijóo complains that he works too much. He has done it again during the inauguration of the political course that the Popular Party has launched this Saturday from a carballeira in the Pontevedra municipality of Cerdedo-Cotobade. Before territorial leaders such as Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla or Fernando López Miras, Feijóo has joked about the effort it takes for him to return to the day-to-day life of Madrid. From the stage he revealed a private conversation with former president Mariano Rajoy, also present at the event, to whom he asked if he planned to return to the capital on Sunday. According to Feijóo, Rajoy replied: “No, there are still classes.” The new leader of the PP faces the new political course as the transcendental moment on which his arrival at La Moncloa depends: “You are going to need a lot of desire to work on this course,” he told his followers, only to offer them a promise a moment later: “I do not give up on obtaining a resounding majority of the Spanish.”

In the Popular Party they are aware of what lies ahead: municipal elections in a matter of months and general elections already in sight. With the polls encouraging the popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo is already seen in La Moncloa. “They are willing to vote for us again”, he assured before the thousand members who attended the first party act of the season. The leader of the PP wants all the ballots: “I do not renounce the vote of any citizen”, he has assured, convinced of being able to revalidate at the state level the majorities that he has easily obtained in Galicia in recent years. “I do not give up on obtaining a resounding majority of the Spanish.”

In the first rows Ayuso, Moreno Bonilla, López Miras or Rajoy applauded. None of them has been invited to the stage in which the absolute protagonist has been Feijóo. During his speech, the Galician politician has asked Pedro Sánchez to appear in the Senate for a face-to-face meeting where both can confront positions on the situation in the country. There have also been offers of dialogue but only on those issues that are on the PP’s agenda: tax cuts, reduction of ministries, an energy plan that protects energy companies, an agreement on national security and things like that.

The rest of his speech has gone through victimhood and the public complaint that the Government only focuses its efforts on trying to criticize him. “From Putin we have passed to Feijóo”, he assured. The leader of the PP believes that the ministers take turns to attack him and asks Sánchez to entrust this task to only one: “That they put a single member of the Government to insult me ​​and that the rest work”, he concluded. Convinced that power is getting closer to him, Feijóo assures that he wants to win “on his own merits”: “I do not aspire to be a president by discarding”.

There has also been a message for Isabel Díaz Ayuso or for those who think that the Madrid president marks the PP’s message more than the PP leader himself. On this matter, Feijóo has assured: “I aspire for my party to be a group of the best and that the best can give their opinion on everything”.
