The striking distancing of Emiliano García-Page with respect to Pedro Sánchez is seen by the Popular Party as electoral cosmetics six and a half weeks from 28-M. The popular ones believe that in certain territories under socialist rule, such as Castilla-La Mancha or Aragón, they are going to notice the punishment at the polls as a consequence of the wear and tear of the President of the Government, for which reason they are forced to set a profile more aggressively in the campaign, as the Castilian-Manchego leader has already done.
Page’s words marked yesterday and the final stretch of the pre-campaign: “I declare myself autonomous with respect to whoever is in Madrid. I have no boss.” National politics, he said, is “frontist” and “insane”, which is why he claimed autonomy from the Castilla-La Mancha commanders and recalled that he does not flirt with nationalism, but that he himself will go to the Constitutional Court if Pere Aragonès threatens to call a new independence referendum.
“He knows that [Pedro Sánchez] has something left for him,” reflect popular sources after hearing the tone and content of Page’s message. But, they explain, the distancing remains, for the moment, in the dialectic, since the management and execution of the Castilian-Manchegan president continues to be in tune with La Moncloa and also with Ferraz’s strategy.
“Then in the Cortes vote everything with Sánchez”, these voices recall, referring both to the initiatives that the PP presents at the regional level, in which the PSOE has the option of distancing itself from the national leadership, and in Congress, where All deputies from the Castilian-La Mancha provinces have maintained voting discipline when voting, for example, the controversial reforms of the Penal Code that have made it possible to put an end to the crime of embezzlement and soften that of embezzlement.
Thus, in this early outbreak of the electoral battle between autonomies and with Catalonia involved in the campaign both from Andalusia and from Castilla-La Mancha, the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, will participate next weekend, on Saturday 22 , at the presentation of the program of the Castilian-Manchego Popular Party. Moreno will support Paco Núñez at the start of the electoral campaign in a territory where Genoa has made one of its biggest bets in the face of 28-M with the aim of unseating one of the great socialist barons, Emiliano García- Page, who narrowly leads the PP in the polls.
The presence of the president of the Board will not be accidental: both in the national leadership of the party and in the Castilian-Lamancha branch they see “parallelisms” between Núñez’s aspiration on May 28 and the feat achieved by Moreno on June 19 of last year, when he achieved an absolute majority in a historically socialist territory such as Andalusia.
“If the Andalusians could, why not us?” Paco Núñez’s entourage asks, aware of the complexity of his task, but also of the fact that “easily overthrowing a socialist bastion” such as Castilla-La Mancha – and as Andalusia was a year ago, it can boost Alberto Núñez Feijóo on his route to La Moncloa and give special weight to the regional delegation in the future regional power map.
Hence the effort to seek the sorpasso in Castilla-La Mancha. The PP has completely turned to Núñez and Moreno’s visit, they explain, is a great boost to start the race to the polls on the right foot. As this newspaper has been reporting, throughout the campaign, and in addition to Moreno and Feijóo, the former presidents of the Government, José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy, and also prominent popular barons, such as Isabel Diaz Ayuso.
In the PP of Castilla-La Mancha they recognize and highlight the “management profile”, precisely, also of the Madrid president. The capital and Andalusia maintain very strong ties with Castilla-La Mancha and sources close to the popular candidate in this region believe that his victories in recent times have influenced the perception of the Castilian-La Mancha population.
