A.D in advance and in the most atypical way. The national president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, revealed that Jorge Azcón will be the PP’s candidate for the presidency of Aragon. It was in an interview on Onda Cero with Carlos Alsina, where he also announced it a woman will replace him in the city council of Zaragoza.
“Wait until the end of the year, he’ll have to say it and not me”, replied the popular leader. And as for the mayor’s office of the capital, “it will have to be her”. “Isn’t his name Jorge?” Alsina insisted, at which Feijóo smiled.
The deadlines set established it Azcón’s decision would come in the same month of December. Something the national coordinator, Elías Bendodo, insisted on at the gates of Pignatelli. Barely two weeks later, the Expo Convention Center was waiting for Azcón full of popular activists and regional and national party officials, as well as Feijóo himself, but he didn’t go.
The words of his counterpart caught the mayor of Zaragoza in Juslibol. There, he assured that the decision had not been made and, in any case, it will be carried out in the way that best suits them in terms of deadlines and schedule. This Wednesday, you presented some improvement works in the street of the camp, together with the minister of citizen participation, Javier Rodrigo, and the councilor for rural neighborhoods, Paloma Espinosa.
CITY HALL
The spokeswoman of the PSOE and candidate in 2023, Lola Ranera, one of the most belligerent in this sense, has asked for her resignation “for abandoning the people of Zaragoza”. “Now we understand why he was so quiet, to continue using the mayor’s office for political gain,” Ranera said.
ONE YEAR FROM THE MARRIED PUSH
George Azcón replaced Luis María Beamonte as head of the general secretariat on December 18, 2021. A support that materialized the day after the XIV training congress in Aragon, with more than 97% of the votes of the delegates. It was there that the then leader of the people, Paul marriedtried to give Pignatelli a first push in the race: “Azcón will be the next president of Aragon”.
It’s been almost a year, from one nougat to another and now without masks. And above all, with a willingness to change course on the part of the PP which materialized in the Exchange of Casado for Núñez Feijóo in the national team. Twelve months of waiting for the announcement, with direct innuendos in the courts without him being present and allegations of being “a mayor on the run” by the municipal opposition.
