Nine days after the defeat of the PP in the Andalusian elections, the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy vowed Tuesday to “correct mistakes” politicians to try to reassure the territorial barons and candidates of his party, which during the last week have demanded, in public and in private, a reversal in the direction to avoid another disaster in the May elections.
President, not given to revolutions, anticipated turn their policies, in their own way: “When good decision rules so that things can do better and updated”. And he asked his ministers “work harder to overcome the crisis reaches every part of the Spanish”. Rajoy told the same day his Health Minister Alfonso Alonso, enmendaba one of its most controversial measures ydevolvía to undocumented immigrants the right to primary health care. A decision that helps you mark distances with Citizens, the main electoral threat of PP, which continues to grow in the polls and argues that irregular migrants only receive emergency assistance.
The message that the worst is Past and after the cuts reach positive measures “after a first part of the grueling legislature” is addressed to all society but especially his own party, which spreads the idea that the same path of these three years the PP, sunk in surveys, tackles the disaster. In the coming weeks the popular awaiting new announcements about tax cuts, which is claiming a sector of the party headed by the candidate for mayor of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre. In addition to a rotation policy, are legion barons and candidates for municipal and regional requiring other faces to revitalize a party that are “dead” and unable to react. Demand new voices, new communication policy and, above all, someone who is released without institutional obligations, to deal with the PP at a critical time. Consulted leaders of ejemploel put fire created by the designation of Aguirre as a candidate for City Council when she refused to give up, as had been requested, the party presidency in Madrid. “That Friday Cospedal was at an event in Cuenca and assistant secretary, Carlos Floriano, in Cáceres,” recalls one member of management and historical in the party, who does not believe that the PP can contact by phone. Other organic officials speak of meetings convened and suspended unexplained and Cospedal decision not to give press conferences in the game in a month and a half.
to own Cospedal, aware of the criticism internal, hinted a few weeks ago at a forum organized by ABC his intention to leave that post and was very Mariano Rajoy who, according to sources, requested him to continue as number two . And Monday was forced to recall that it was she who gave the face in recent years “in the most difficult moments he has lived this match” plus distance himself from the communication policy of the Government, headed Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, from which it is very distant. Some voices suggest that a compromise might be the appointment of a general coordinator, an idea that excites neither Cospedal and few believe that Rajoy will take in the short term. Another thing is if a catastrophe in municipal and regional elections, which would increase the pressure on the leader of the PP occurs.
In defense of Cospedal came out on Tuesday the deputy spokesman of the PP in the Congress of Deputies Agustin Conde, who said “no way” may be over in the general secretariat and warned that if Rajoy wants to remain Prime Minister, “you’d better” Cospedal continue in office.
Conde did admit, at a breakfast organized by the EnCastillaLaMancha.es digital newspaper, that “they will have to reflect” on the defeat in Andalusia, but warned: “Because Cospedal is general secretary of the party, we recognize in the PP yet. “
A domestic situation, some barons termed” pre-crisis “, alluded Tuesday a major betting game. The candidate for the Community of Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, described as “improved” communication of national PP and from Alcalá de Henares called “multiply media appearances” and “very educational.”
