Dead King, raise a King. And with him a large part of the court. Alberto Nunez Feijo’s team already dominates his new property at PP’s national headquarters, located at 13 Calle de Génova, Madrid. There is still a formal sale of the building in which the activity at the moment is not as outrageous as one might think of changing leadership as many signatures are associated with area secretaries who have not yet been appointed. Most of the staff who worked in the former management of Pablo Casado on April 1, like Fern Hervias and many others, had their contracts reduced. Some may repeat. Others definitely do not.
While the distribution of organic energy is complete, there are a few names that will be part of the central core of decision making in Genoa that have already been defined and designated. And they started working. There are two groups, both concentrated around the figure of Feijo. One consists of loyalists who accompanied him from Galicia, some practically after he began his political career in Madrid in 1996. The second consists of political members of the Steering Committee.
Galician team That escorts Feio has on arrival in Madrid Sea Sanchez To its strength. Training journalist, arrived The voice of Galicia, Is his oldest employee. He had already made a similar trip with him in 1996, when the political godfather of the current PP president, then-Minister of Health Jose Manuel Romai Bekaria, put him at the head of Insalud. In the second legislature, Jose Maria Aznari, Feijo was appointed chairman of the post office. Here Mar Sanchez, who was also from the Roman environment, was already his communications manager. And to this day.
In 2009, Feio was appointed Secretary-General of the Media, a position that oversees the entire communications apparatus of the Government of Galicia, as well as a subsidy and publicity tap, without which dozens of paper newspapers coming out to the public, radios and some private television station that no longer broadcasts could not survive. He will now be in charge of the PP projection and image zone. A full declaration of intent for anyone with an iron fist to control relations with Galicia’s mainstream media outlets and, in essence, TVG, where shortly after Feijo came to power, a journalist who served as PP controller in the election. Regional television professionals have been celebrating their Black Friday for more than 200 weeks to condemn manipulation of a public unit where Sanchez continues to line up directly.
Below Mar Sanchez is another line of work with a group of advisers who provide ideas for a leader’s political strategies. They identify themselves as the “Alberto Boys” and at least three of this group will also travel to Madrid with their leader. For the most part, the journalists were signed by a Galician politician when they were barely twenty years old. In those years they wrote the first appearances between games from the PlayStation to Pro Evolution Soccer. These are Luis de la Mata, his partner Marta Varela and Luca Martinინn (now dedicated to political advice from the private sector). Alvaro Perez has always been with them.
Louis de la Mata In recent years he has held the position of PP press officer in Galicia, although his salary is derived from Galicia Television, whose board of directors he was placed within the partisan quota from which the body is fed. Fate. Directed by Galicia Public Radio and Television (CRTVG). The PSOE and the BNG have also deployed plumbers working in the organic life of the party, a body that should provide multiple public media. Now de la Mata heads the National PP’s relationship with the media, led by Mar Sanchez.
Trio Fixed Perform it Martha Varela, A former partner, also a training journalist, and who was appointed as Feio’s Cabinet Director on the same weekend as the National Congress was in Seville. Varela still holds the same position in the junta presidency from which he has not yet resigned and was previously part of his communications team. He is one of the main authors of the President’s speeches.
He is also in the “Alberto Boys” group Alvaro Perez, The general secretary of the junta presidency and one of its top advisers. It was with him that he recognized on the night of the 2009 election that made him the first junta president. Fran Ballado says this in a friendly biography written about the PP leader. According to this book, after the victory, Fayo said to Perez, “I am more worried today than I was yesterday.” All four continue to receive salaries from the Galicia administration, even though they have already been placed in charge of PP in Genoa. Their release, if that happens, is not expected until Feio does the same in the Galician government.
The second circle that revolves around Feijo is political. In a sharply vertical party like PP, the steering committee has full importance in developing the organization’s strategy. Anyway, so it has been so far, though PP has been obsessed with the process in recent weeks. Baronization As a colleague of Pablo Casado’s fall. Exactly in the body when his believers demanded his resignation when the former PP leader assumed he had started losing the match against Ayuso.
Feijóo resumed as Number two From one of the few people who accompanied Casado throughout his life: Kuka Gamara. The Secretary-General is also responsible for direct opposition to Pedro Sanchez in Congress, from which he will not be the President of the PP.
The Galician could have won his seat in the Senate, although the presence of the Prime Minister in that chamber is less frequent. In any case, responsibility for Wednesday’s control sessions and major debates, such as Sanchez’s recent appearance on the Ukraine war, the Sahara or the European response to the crisis, or the ensuing debate over the state of the nation. , Will fall Gamara.
This is no small thing. For this reason and to understand the importance of Juan Manuel Moreno, Feio posted as Number two The strong man of the President of Andalusia: Elijah Bendodo. A still adviser to the board chair, chairman of the Andalusian PP Election Committee and chairman of the Malaga PP, he has taken on the role of Coordinator General. A figure that the organization used only to compensate for the existence of its first swords in government. This happened during the mandates of Aznar or Rajoy, with Angel Acebe and Fernando Martinez Mayo. The PSOE has already received him in a complaint to the prosecution, in which he is accused of “settling” 4,000 express contracts for public employment in Andalusia.
Although the Andalusian PP initially indicated that Bendodo would remain 100% there until the election (the date of which has not yet been determined, but which should be this year), it has already been appointed at the first meeting of the Steering Committee. Do an X-ray of the organic condition of the party. The report focused on the calendar of upcoming regional conventions, primarily the Madrid Congress.
The report should have been ready in a few days. For this, Bendodo was assisted by the third leader of the new leadership of the PP: the new Deputy Secretary of the Territorial Organization, Miguel Telado.
Telado is another loyalist of Feijo, who arrived with him from Galicia to Madrid. Secretary General of the Galician PP since 2016, before that he was the Speaker of the PP in the Regional Parliament. He also worked as a journalist and before that as a student union activist in an ideological spectrum that is far removed from the spectrum he now espouses: he was part of the University Student Movement (MEU) that split from Open. The Faculty Committees (CAFs) that at the time they were orbiting around the strongest wing of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG).
Throughout all these years Telado has acted as a bad cop of Feijo and together with Bendodo he will be responsible for the territorial control of the PP. It was there that Pablo Casado, who blindly trusted his secretary general, Theodoros Garcia Egea, fell, despite warnings from his friends and not-so-friends at the party.
The territorial balance is determined by inserting the Madrid PP into the senator figure Pedro Roland, Was appointed Deputy Secretary of Regional and Local Coordination to anger Isabelle Diaz Ayuso, who hoped to promote her as Deputy Secretary of the Organization. On the whole, Roland is not even a man very close to the president of the region, though neither is he an enemy.
The former mayor of the municipality of Torrejon de Ardos, a former adviser to Cristina Fluentes before his fall; With Vice President Angel Garrido when he succeeded President Puerta del Sol; And even as a random president, when his friend intimidated citizens, Ayuso preferred to send him to the Senate in 2019 with the consent of the Cassado.
Roland will be responsible for defining the strategic and political lines of the PP until the crucial regional and municipal elections in May next year. But organically, it will have a lot to say, because, at least on paper, it’s Bendodo and Telado to decide.
Gamara, Bendodo, Telado, and Roland (which some sources link to Feijo’s personal level after being the head of the post office at the turn of the century) together with the fifth name form the solid core of management: Esteban Gonzalez Pons. Valencian is the Deputy Institutional Secretary, a position whose contents have not yet been revealed. Some point out that he will be responsible for building bridges and piloting negotiations with the government, but the PP leadership does not confirm that he is, for example, the one who is considering renewing the General Council. Court Minister Felix Bolanio. By this time Feio and Pedro Sanchez had resumed talks.
At the technical level, Feijóo has selected profiles with experience in this field. The other is the case Andalusian In the Galician court: Juan Bravo. Andalusian not by birth, but because he is the Minister of Economy of Juan Manuel Moreno. He was already preparing technical documents for the Cassado, albeit for free in Genoa. Now he will do it for Feio, but as Deputy Secretary of the Economy. Many in Andalusia argue that much of Moreno’s success lies in his control over Bravo and his budgets, beyond the ideological views of each.
Carmen Navarro Lakoba Closes the list of Deputy Secretaries. His portfolio: Social Policy. Born in Albacete, he is the MP of this province. From there is Castilla-La Mancha PP president Paco Nunez, whom Navarro thanked for “the first political opportunity”. Some sources put him in the race for PP candidacy for mayor of Albacete.
In Madrid, Feijo’s power ends with another Galician coronation Diego Calvo As Chairman of the Election Commission. The position of maximum importance in a party such as PP, whose lists must pass the Genoa screening, yes or no. Thousands of ballots for municipal and regional elections scheduled for next year must be agreed with the national leadership. All. This is the way in which the national president is convinced that he has control over the positions of the whole of Spain, although this did not greatly help Cassado when it came time to count the troops when his last battle with Ayuso began. However, Calvo spoke in favor of an open congress and primaries to elect Feijo’s successor in Galicia. A position for which several mayors are applying.
Finally, the chairman of the Rights and Guarantees Committee is an extremist Jose Antonio Monago, Who was on the way to the end of his political life, but who saw his potential with the arrival of Feiyo, born again in Genoa. It remains to be seen whether he trusts the Galician party in the Extremadura whose congress is awaiting him, or whether the position he has been given in Madrid is the way to a new face that will compete with Guillermo Fernandes Varas. Board.
