The Chats of leaders of the PP threw smoke this Thursday and not for the choice of the new Pope. The nerves have been unleashed in the party due to the possibility that Alberto Núñez Feijóo is wearing the national PP Congress to approve organic changes soon and being prepared in case there is an electoral advance. Next Monday, Feijóo brings together the main flat of the PP in the National Executive Committee, in whose agenda there is a section of “appointments”, according to Known Sources to El País. Although on Monday the changes of draft are not expected, beyond an adjustment for the designation of Dolors Montserrat as general secretary of the European PP, the concern has shot after digital information Okdiario That says that Feijóo will convene the National Congress for the month of July. Sources of the direct team of the PP leader do not confirm it, but they do not discard it sharply.
In addition to the nerves, the bewilderment spreads. Both barons and hard -nucleus leaders say they have not been informed about whether the popular leader will convene Congress. In the Management Committee, there has also been that discussion, sources of the same say, although Feijóo has a smaller power core that is its Galician sanhedrin, which integrates its cabinet, where it discusses the most strategic issues. Sources of that team deny that the same Monday will be approved “no change” organic, but refuse to confirm or deny that the call of a congress is being considered.
Surprise and strangeness is wide in the game. “I don’t know anything and it has missed me a lot,” says a baron. “No idea, I miss me,” another. Some leaders believe it would be a “capital clumsiness” to open the melon of a national congress at a time when Pedro Sánchez is “cornered.” Others, on the other hand, see it appropriate to the possibility that the socialist president ahead of the general elections this year. “It is not folded. You have to look for a window of opportunity, because if after summer there are no budgets either for the following year, Sánchez could summon by December 2025,” she estimates a veteran. “Feijóo knows that he has a last chance in those elections to reach the Moncloa, no one will discuss his leadership, so Congress would have to be more ideological and renewal of the team,”
According to the statutes of the PP, it is the National Board of Directors, the highest body between congresses, the competent to convene a Congress, although Feijóo could inform the committee on Monday and then gather the Board to approve it.
-Feijóo was elected president of the PP in an extraordinary congress held in April 2022 in Seville after the war between Pablo Casado and Isabel Díaz Ayuso. A conclave that, due to its exceptional character from the organic point of view, did not allow an ideological discussion or statutory changes. The last ordinary PP Congress was held in February 2017, when Mariano Rajoy was chosen.
The PP leader assured in September 2024, the last time he spoke on the matter, that his intention was to postpone Congress to 2026. Now, the scenario has changed because the government has not achieved support to present a budget project and in the PP many believe that Sanchez will not be able to endure much without public accounts. But beyond an electoral call, Congress could serve to achieve the revulsive asked by some sectors of the PP to Feijóo, with changes in his team.
Genoa was already considering the movement in the European PP Congress held last week in Valencia to make organic changes. The party expects Esteban González Pons to lose the institutional vice -secretary, as the country published, to focus on his tasks as head of the popular delegation in Brussels after Dolors Montserrat has been chosen general secretary of the PPE. Although this movement will not happen immediately, but is expected in the framework of a broader remodeling of the Management Committee that will not be done in any case before summer.
Sources from the PP leader team rule out that Feijóo will make draft changes in the popular dome “during the session period.” But beyond the month of June everything is open, including the possibility that the PP celebrates its National Congress.
