The PP will dispense with Fran Hervías after the extraordinary congress

The Popular Party will dispense with Fran Hervías after the extraordinary congress in April, from which the new party leader will emerge, as ABC has advanced and has been able to confirm elDiario.es. The former secretary of Citizen Organization signed for the PP after the debacle of the orange formation, at the hands of the former number two of the popular Teodoro García Egea.

Hervías, who left Ciudadanos shortly after the resignation of Albert Rivera and Inés Arrimadas took the reins of the party, was signed by Egea through a trust contract. These types of positions, linked to the current leadership of the PP, will decline on April 1, when the next congress is held. The normal thing is that most of them are renewed, but the party has confirmed that it will not be with Hervías.

With this, the former leader of Ciudadanos, Rivera’s right-hand man at the head of the party, will end his time in the PP just one year after his signing. All despite the fact that, in the midst of the PP crisis in recent weeks, Hervías withdrew his support for Pablo Casado and asked, like many leaders, for an extraordinary congress to renew the party’s leadership. “It’s time for affiliates. It’s unity and strength, more than ever,” he wrote in a tweet on February 22.

Hervías thus consummated a triple turn, because only days before he had shown his support for Casado, shortly after the total crisis broke out in the match, with crossed accusations between Génova and Isabel Díaz Ayuso on account of the Madrid Community mask contract for the one in which the president’s brother charged a commission. “I joined the Popular Party for Pablo Casado. He made regeneration and transparency one of his axes,” Hervías said then.

The former secretary of the Organization of Citizens had a fundamental role so that the motion of censure in Murcia last year did not go ahead: his environment was in charge of buying three turncoats from the party so that they would not support the initiative in exchange for portfolios in the regional government .

The ABC newspaper published this Thursday that Hervías no longer worked for the party. As confirmed today by PP sources to elDiario.es, the still-affiliated party “isn’t even going to Genoa.” Yesterday, after learning the information, the former Ciudadanos leader stated on his Twitter profile that it was a “lie.”

Hervías himself told this newsroom: “I’m still registered with Social Security as just another worker.” But what he did not explain is that it will only be until April 1. The PP has ratified that it will not continue after the extraordinary congress that will be held on that date in Seville and in which, except for a last-minute surprise, they will consecrate Alberto Núñez Feijóo as the new president of the formation to replace Pablo Casado.
