As well-placed PP leaders in Genoa explain to El Confidencial Digital , the so-called 'baron rebellion' in the PP is not caused by the lack of agreements with the central government, but rather by the fact that each regional leader has certain interests. politicians different from the rest. In this sense, the sources consulted assure that, today, "each one has his war, and therefore a very different discourse and particular objectives , something that Rajoy has not had to face until now." The national leadership of the party has established a division of the different groups of territorial barons that exist in the PP, based on the individual motivations that make them act in one way or another: “We can distinguish the young enthusiasts, the those who are on their way out, and those who are already thinking about the polls for fear of losing their Government.” González and Monago, the “new ones who are stomping” In the first group of “young enthusiasts”, the sources from the national leadership of the PP consulted by ECD point to the presidents of the Community of Madrid and Extremadura: Ignacio González and José Antonio Monago , respectively.
According to the 'popular' leaders to whom this newspaper has had access, "both have just arrived and want to stand out from minute one ." Their youth “allows them to be brave, to dare to step outside the general discourse, and thus make their Special Database name 'sound' at the national level, outside their regions .” Both have already disagreed with Mariano Rajoy on the tax increase and the so-called asymmetric deficit, which has caused tension in the latest meetings of the party leadership. Valcárcel and Herrera are already on their way out Another of the problems that Rajoy has encountered when reaching an agreement is the fact that some barons, who had always followed the central government's discourse, have recently distanced themselves. This is the case of Juan Vicente Herrera , who also criticized the tax increase and announced the reduction of cultural VAT. The change in speech of the president of Castilla y León is explained by the fact that he " is already on his way out and now says and applies what he thinks, with greater freedom ." The same thing happens to Ramón Luis Valcárcel in Murcia: “He knows that he is leaving and wants to achieve as much as possible for his community, especially in the area of water, to ensure a smooth transition .” Concern about the upcoming regional elections The sources consulted by ECD highlight a third group of barons, more majority, who in the meetings in Genoa "are concerned about the electoral consequences of some measure of the central government .
In this group would be 'newly arrived' presidents, such as Ignacio Diego, José Ramón Bauzà , “who want to preserve in any way the Government that cost them so much to achieve in 2011. Luisa Fernanda Rudi , for her part, "is also in this group, since she governs in coalition with the PAR and knows that any unpopular measure can tip the balance towards a pact between the regionalists and the PSOE."The new Traffic Regulations, advanced by El Confidencial Digital last March , included an increase in the speed limit up to 130km/h , although it was unknown on which roads it would be applied. Sources from the Headquarters of the Civil Traffic Guard now confirm to ECD that this new limit will be present for now on toll highways , since they are the most modern, safest roads and have more straight stretches than any other road. . In this way, the aim is to promote its use among drivers and offer an extra incentive that justifies the payment of these highways, which owe 3.5 billion euros to the concessionaire companies. This increase is a demand that the toll highway concessionaires have conveyed to the DGT in recent months. It could save them from ruin. The new limit will also apply on highways and highways Official spokespersons for the DGT , consulted by this confidentiality, explain that the new speed limitation will not be exclusive to toll roads.
Objective: 'shield' Wert. The Police deployed the UIP at a minister's event to avoid boos and protesters
A group of agents from the Police Intervention Unit , with several vehicles, were deployed yesterday during the informative breakfast starring José Ignacio Wert at the Villamagna hotel in Madrid. This type of police deployment is not common at these types of events, which are usually attended by high-level politicians and business leaders. Something similar is only remembered in a conference by Juan Luis Cebrián , president of Prisa, at a time when the group was going through harsh staff cuts and when protesters persecuted him wherever he went. The operation, which can be seen in the following images, fulfilled its deterrent intention: no protesters approached the doors of the venue where Wert gave his conference.As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the PP has decided to advance its calendar for appointing candidates to the summer return, since in the national leadership, and also in the regional, they see an electoral advance in 2014 as possible . In this sense, the 'popular' sources consulted explain to ECD that the electoral scenario they are considering is that the current Juna Government can announce the dissolution of Parliament in the first quarter of next year and call elections to coincide with the European elections. . Juan Ignacio Zoido does not want to be a candidate PP leaders to whom this newspaper has had access assure that the current president of the party in Andalusia, Juan Ignacio Zoido, is reluctant to head that hypothetical electoral list .
The mayor of Seville has assured, internally, that his objective is to maintain the municipal government and that, facing the next regional elections, he does not see himself as a candidate, since he wants to remain in the council for at least one Special Database more term . Already in his time as president of the FEMP, and before the resignation of Javier Arenas in the Andalusian PP, Zoido insisted that his priority is the mayor's office: “He has not changed his speech and we know what he thinks , so we respect his decision". José Luis Sanz, Cospedal's favorite With Juan Ignacio Zoido ruled out as a candidate, the main candidate to be head of the list is, according to the sources consulted, José Luis Sanz, current secretary general of the Andalusian PP . Sanz has important support both at the national and regional level: “In Genoa, Cospedal considers him his trusted man in Andalusia , with whom he consults everything. At the regional level, José Luis has visited each province and is supported by local leaders, who criticize Zoido's 'centralism'." Despite not being well known at the national level, the sources consulted assure that “the door-to-door work that Sanz has done has allowed him to gain the sympathy of Andalusian voters .” Although the general secretary of the PP in Andalusia is the favorite to become a candidate for the Board, he is not the only name that the party leaders, both at the regional and national level, use. Along with Sanz, he would also have options : --Juan Manuel Moreno .
Current Secretary of State for Equality, he is one of the young values of the PP. He is highly valued in the national leadership, although with little experience at the regional level. He was in charge of the party's regional policy before the 2011 general elections. -- José Antonio Nieto . Mayor of Córdoba. He has support at the top of the party in Andalusia. In Madrid they value his success in the last municipal elections, in which he won a Government that had always been in the hands of the PSOE or the IU. -- Fatima Báñez . As reported in these pages, the Minister of Development was the one chosen by Rajoy and Cospedal for four years from now . However, “removing her from the ministry in the middle of the legislature, and outside of a national government crisis, would not make sense.” --Carmen Crespo . Government Delegate in Andalusia. Well valued in Genoa, where her projection and the factor that her hypothetical candidacy "would break with the image of an Andalusian gentleman" that is sometimes had of some of the male leaders of the party stand out. --Carlos Rojas . Spokesperson for the PP group in the Parliament of Andalusia and former mayor of Motril. He has the support of provincial barons, but at the national level he has less influence.
