The former general secretary of the PP leaves in the air that the still leader of the party can present himself to congress
Teodoro García Egea has anticipated this Tuesday night the next resignation of Pablo Casado. “I am immensely sad because there are many Spaniards who are not going to meet the real Pablo Casado,” said the resigned general secretary of the PP.
García Egea has left in the air the possibility that the still leader of the PP can present himself to the extraordinary congress to revalidate his mandate. Moreover, he has ventured that Alberto Núñez Feijóo will not be the only candidate in that conclave. “From one to ten – he has predicted – the possibility that there will be another candidate is 7.5. He would not be unreasonable ».
He has considered in an interview in La Sexta that the president of the Xunta de Galicia will be a good candidate because he has “management experience”, but although part of “a good position” he has warned that it will be “a mistake” for him to be enthroned as the only candidate for the national board of directors that will meet next Tuesday.
He has also defended the convocation of an extraordinary congress of the party “to give voice to the affiliates” after having rejected this possibility during the meeting of the PP steering committee held last Monday.
The former general secretary of the PP has thrown many balls out in his account of the crisis that the PP is experiencing and the confrontation between Casado and Isabel Díaz Ayuso. “There is no war or battle,” he has pointed out. Although he has slipped that “the pressures” of the Madrid president to advance the regional congress of the party began “as a result” of the management asking him in September about the commercial activities of her brother with the Community of Madrid.
He has assured that he is leaving with a clear conscience because “we have not done anything wrong” and has resorted to superlatives to deny some information. “It is completely false” that the documentation on Tomás Dñíaz Ayuso came from Moncloa. “It is absolutely false” that there was espionage on the brother of the Madrid president.
García Egea has hinted that his resignation and that of Casado is more than likely due to his attempts to eradicate corruption in the PP, but without putting the accusatory finger on Ayuso because his explanations have been sufficient and he believes that the Prosecutor’s Office will confirm it.
He explained that he is leaving because “being secretary general of a party is the most difficult thing there is. It’s being the bad guy in the movie.”
