The PP of Madrid still pending great internal battle. The situation of temporary stays from two years ago, when Cristina Cifuentes he left the presidency, 48 hours after leaving the Sun Gate after the case master and the publication of his controversial video. Then, Mariano Rajoy opted for a veteran of all confidence, Pio Garcia-Escuderoup to be able to have the regional congress. After that came the motion of censure, the motion of the former national, the primary and the victory of Paul Married, in addition to two general elections and the regional and municipal in the middle.
The process was slowing down for all those reasons, as in other places in a similar situation. But two weeks ago, the National Board of Directors of the PP —the highest body between congresses— gave the green light to provincial congresses of Valencia and Alicante, which drag managers for years. According to has been able to find this journal, the party is working on the launch of the Madrid congress, to be held the next year, probably in march.
The current time is not the most appropriate, after the pandemic of coronavirus and a situation of instability in the Government led by Isabel Diaz Ayuso. Therefore, Genoa has in their plans to begin the organization of the congress, but still it will take months until it is concluded. The pools have already started to shoot within the PP with two leaders who know that they are consolidated —the president and the mayor of Madrid— and a ‘third way’ they bet on many other leaders.
Married mark the way to their ranks: “I’m Not going to lead a PP bronco or destabilizing”
The leader of the PP ensures to the maximum organ of his party that “there are not two parties” -one soft and one hard, but a single training, that will focus on the centrality and the great majority
Ayuso has not been pronounced about the primary now and, although sources of their environment recognize that is focused on the management of the covid-19, ensure that it is located “ready to take the step” and that the condition of the regional president for the avalaría. Your hard core will insist on that it must be she who fills the position and remember that is the formula most often repeated to the point: one who presides over the Community, heads the party.
In fact, point out that the bicefalia —promoted in the past by José María Aznar— can lead to “errors of management” and “it complicates everything,” noting as an example when Gallardon was at the forefront of the regional Government and Pio Garcia-Escudero in the match. Think Ayuso already represents 179 municipalities in madrid and that he would have “all the sense” that also act as the main representative of the PP of Madrid.
On the other hand, there is also the figure of ascending José Luis Martínez-Almeida, become one of the references policies of this crisis after having led the consensus in the municipal institution, attracting a lot of attention. The advocates of his candidacy, given that it will be very difficult if Ayuso gives step. “If the president wants to lead the PP is complicated that the direction of wager by the mayor. That could create clashes” important”, they explain.

In reality, the alderman has not been postulated. In fact, a few days ago said in an interview in the newspaper ‘The World’, that saw with good eyes keep the tricefalia current Community, city Hall and the party on the other side. It is not the only mayor in the region that sees as well in the interests of defend a balance between the institutional power and the organic, avoiding the impulse of a ‘superbaronía’ as is that of Madrid, with leadership as noted in other communities as is the case of Alberto Núñez Feijóo in Galicia, and even the andalusian, Juanma Moreno-Bonilla. It would also avoid a struggle of leadership. For this reason, the idea of the third track is again with force as a more than plausible.
In fact, before the outbreak of the crisis of the coronavirus, Married, had that idea in the head. The current secretary general of the madrid management company, Ana Camins, —very close to the president of the PP— led pools at that time. Married trust a lot in the mp and senator by designation regional —as was its secretary general when he was leading New Generations— and binds them to a personal friendship.
All the world speaks well of her and is, above all, a person of the party and loyal to the president. Your profile “consensus”, as defined by many in the PP, it would fit in that tricefalia, not confront them with the leadership of the institutions and it would prevent a concentration of territorial power. From the month of September, his name began to sound with force when he ascended to the manager and was gaining adherents within the party later in the year. Even today there are many leaders and policy-makers who see it as the best option.

Despite the fact that always resonate with other names, such as Antonio González Terol; deputy, former mayor of Boadilla and ‘heavy weight’ of Genoa, close also to the secretary general, Teodoro García Egea, in the training considered that this task would not be for him, as it ended up being the candidacy of the Community.
The leadership of the PP in madrid is one of the outstanding issues that have Married. If the congress was scheduled for 2020, the coronavirus it slowed down. But, with all security, the coming year should be resolved with the primary. While the ‘third way’ is still calling many, the team Ayuso stays ready and Almeida, for now, shows no signs of wanting to take a step to the front. Some remembered that after the departure of Esperanza Aguirre in city Hall and when all were by only one candidate to Íñigo Henríquez de Luna, council member decided and won.
