Warning for hot heads: Feijo does not like hyperbole

Date:

No one dared to mention Vox’s name at the People’s Party congress. No one cared to warn that monsters were hiding in the dark corner of the room. Clearly, all the leaders who took the stage announced with great vigor that the new leadership of Alberto Nunez Feijo would lead them to victory in the next general election. The above is very clear, because “PP is a government party.” By repeating it, you are not even going to convince the majority of voters, but the fact is that Feijo has announced this several times. This must be the first commandment of the gospel according to St. Albert.

Behind everything that is found at almost every party convention is the real world. And part of that reality can be seen in the statements of PP leaders after leaving the stage. Among them can not be mentioned the new president of the People’s Party, a man whose self-discipline can not be denied. He never says anything he does not care about commenting on, and if the price says it all, so be it. Feio starts with the idea that silence will never hurt you.

Then there is Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of Andalusia and Feio’s main partner in the new PP. Both were congressional protagonists as Pablo Casado’s defense. The appointment had other relevant supporting actors in varying degrees such as Rajoy, Aznar, Gamara or Ayuso, but do not be fooled. Feio and Moreno are the ones who come forward with the idea that all regional barons have broad autonomy in their affairs. The Empire of Terror directed from 13-year-old Genoa Fortress is over, this part of the theory never ends in PP.

Moreno was sincere and quite direct in his conversations with a group of journalists after the congress ended. First and foremost, acknowledging the damage done to Cassado’s liquidation – not to mention how it happened – has tarnished the image of the party, and especially of its supporters. “The brand is damaged.” The conclusion is almost obvious and is confirmed by a whole series of polls. PP’s old voter loyalty was hit hard. This is not an irreversible fact, by the way, because a lot can happen in a year and a half. This is especially annoying when there is a party like Vox. One of the main reasons for their existence is that they constantly have a net to catch all the PP sounds coming from above.

The president of Andalusia is convinced that the PSOE has no chance to jeopardize his re-election. Neither is the dying Ciudadanos. His main concern is more to the right. As happened in Castile and Le ლეn, Vox could clearly improve his results and force PP to agree on a coalition government without which he could not continue to lead. “Vox is fashionable” among a growing number of voters, says Moreno Bonilla. In her case, this is a brand that attracts and it does not matter who is nominated as a candidate in Andalusia, be it Macarena Olona or someone completely unknown, according to their vision.

PP now fears that rising social tensions, exacerbated by rising inflation and discomfort caused by other economic problems related to the Ukraine war, will benefit the far right. He argues that the situation allows him to get votes from different places and not just from PP voters.

The right-wing hope is that Vox is starting to wear out because he wanted to be part of Castile and Leon’s government. Management is not the same as protest. Protest voting feels quite bad at the cost of taking measures away from the insane election program. Moreno’s bad is that he has to choose when to hold the Andalusian elections from late June to early October. It is unlikely that in three to four months Vox will spin at the rate in Castile and Leon’s government that PP is interested in.

Nunez Feio is a politician who determines key issues in his time. At this time he has not made a decision on whether to choose a senator by the regional delegation to be able to meet with Pedro Sanchez in this chamber sporadically, i.e. when Sanchez likes him. He admitted to reporters that it is not yet clear because he has to think about it. And do not expect it to come to a quick conclusion in the coming days. Maybe in May we will hear something.

His speech before the congress, already as party president, was a collection of his limitations as a speaker – no one has ever suffered a heart attack due to one of his interventions – and his virtues. He did not mention Vox, but he was able to clearly distinguish differences with the extreme right. “We are not anti-Europeans” and we are an “autonomist party” were phrases that limited the formation of Santiago Abascal.

He had more creatures when he showed his disgust with Vox’s testosterone policy, especially with regard to Spanish identity. “Let us stop handing out Patriot cards and be more patriotic than the Spaniards,” he said at one point as he raised his voice and was energetic. “We all sit here!” He continued.

Feio promised to “remove Spanish politics from confrontation and constant hyperbole.” This hyperbole is also very similar to Pablo Casado and the constant hyperactivity that characterized him in trying to save Spain in every corner. As he also recalls Isabel Diaz Ayuso and his alarm that the country would fall into the clutches of communism at any time. Good You slept too long.

He also offered to cooperate with the government, which seemed to be done as an inventory. To make it appear in some titles and covers. He gave a few general examples that did not oblige him to do anything. Rather it seemed that he was willing to support the government if he did what PP demanded of him, such as cutting taxes. No trace of the CGPJ update has been identified.

This is not to say that Feijóo is ambiguous. The trick is that it gives us little information. Or he says one and then the other in the same paragraph, which sounds really the opposite. He knows he has a sign of moderation – Ayuso called it a stigma – and can no longer deny it, but he can still define it. “Moderation is not lukewarm.” “Dialogue is not submission.” Some of his suggestions sound like quotes from a self-help book about what Sun Dzi would have written if he had been a coach.

The question is whether these principles, expressed in the not-so-electrified cadence of the feud, will suffice to prevent a right-wing vote from falling on Vox networks. In this regard, the new leader of PP will still have something to say, but he will devote time. Moreno Bonilla will take care of his acceleration.
