MADRID Panic lose all power after Sunday’s electoral collapse precipitated yesterday a climate of rebellion in the Popular Party (PP) that threatens the leadership of President Mariano Rajoy for the first time in the his four years in the government of Spain.
Some major territorial barons of the PP expressed their dismay over the speech devoid of self-criticism that offered Rajoy after regional and municipal elections, in which he dismissed the need for changes and confirmed as a candidate for re-election.
With a rawness unthinkable a few days ago, he was the head of government of Castilla y León, Juan Vicente Herrera, in charge of shooting catharsis. “He would say to Rajoy:” President, look in the mirror and all rely on yourself if you should be the candidate ‘”he said in a radio interview that caused a huge impact
Herrera is a historical.. Manda 11 years his region and is the conservative who was closer to retain power after the wreck on Sunday. “There is a very clear need for generational change in the party,” he said, and predicted that he weighed step aside.
In the afternoon, two territorial leaders -the hardest hit in elections Valencia and the Balearics confirmed resign their party posts.
The tension grew. The still president of Aragon, Luisa Fernanda Rudi, said that “the PP brand now cause rejection” and lamented that in a few days will be in Spain “a red map of leftist governments.” She will be one that should vacate the office.
“We have to change everything we have to change, styles, forms, strategies and also expensive. If we do not, people will” the head of the PP in Andalusia, Juan Manuel Moreno.
joined the annoyance of the barons became clear on Monday during the summit meeting convened by Rajoy. The president took dramatic the result and consoled himself with the PP had been as the first force if the votes from across the country joined. He ruled out further changes in the party leadership and the government. There was no applause when he finished speaking.
The trouble sinking a generation of leaders who see their privileges disappear. They think of the general election in November and tremble. Herrera seemed bleaching a generalized concern that begins: Rajoy is the right person for that battle
We question the strategy of people’s dissatisfaction ningunear corruption cases that enfangaron the party and lack of reflexes? to promote an internal regeneration at a time when emerging forces and citizens as we settled the agenda for change. Until the Casa Real got the time to a year ago when King Juan Carlos I was resigned to abdicate.
Neither digest the apparent conformity of these days. It is true that the PP was the first force in the global (27%, two points more than socialism), but also on the road leaving 2.4 million votes and that squandered the greatest territorial power structure that met Spain in its democratic history. Until Sunday the ruling party in 11 regions with an absolute majority (out of 17) and in 12 of the 15 most populated municipalities
The disaster was never seen. Could lose almost everything. As long retain five regions: one where Sunday -Galicia- and four-Madrid, Castilla y León, La Rioja and Murcia-where you need to deal with an uncertain Citizens did not vote. Of large municipalities only have two options to survive Murcia–Malaga and also to force agreements.
Rajoy tried to mask the bleeding by appealing to the covenants in all territories where the PP took the first minority . Candidates denied it acts.
The acting president of Valencia, Alberto Fabra, announced yesterday that it will leave the regional leadership of the party, in an admission that the government must yield to the left. Soon he joined Jose Ramon Bauza (Baleares). Rudi tested the same way (Aragon) and Dolores de Cospedal (Castilla-La Mancha).
In Madrid, the candidate for mayor of the capital, Esperanza Aguirre, also called “refounding” of the PP. She is the face of defeat. Rajoy appointed despite being his eternal enemy because he believed it was the only way to retain the greatest electoral stronghold of the PP. The failure falls on them both
So blame seemed Ana Botella, wife of former President José María Aznar and outgoing mayor.. “The results are very bad Make no mistake will be to make a reflection. take action. “
The internal boiling and stagnation of President embarrass the leaders struggling to retain regional governments. Especially aspiring Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, you have to convince citizens to give their votes to take
A Rajoy yesterday touched an uneasy routine. Session control the Senate. The opposition was delighted enrostrándole the black Sunday. He was adamant: “The PP has had his difficulties this election, but it was the most voted”
