The foreseeable leader, as he liked to define himself, “the state man” celebrated by the conservative press of Madrid. And the organism is again in the air.
Designed to “monitor, identify and evaluate the health status of the population and its determinants, as well as the problems, threats and risks in public health matters” and to coordinate the “preparation and response to health crises and emergencies”, the agency was provided for in a law of 2011, but did not arrive on time for the pandemic. All the parties, except Vox, agreed on their creation, as evidenced in the different procedures in Congress until the last vote in which PP and Junts decided to derail the project in revenge against the Government by the way in which the amendments of another law that had nothing to do: that of food waste were processed.
Five years after the crisis of the coronavirus broke out in which more than 120,000 people died in Spain and that uncovered the seams of the health system throughout the country, the agency that has the mission of carrying out a clear communication on the threats and coordinating with the European Union or the World Health Organization not only is not an urgency for Feijóo, but the leader of the PP considers it to the PP. matches that support him. Junts, when he saw the possibility of promoting another defeat to the government, joined the veto after having voted in favor in its processing.
Should the paralysis of an organism as sensitive as ammunition against the government?
Can it be considered “state opposition” to refuse to welcome migrant minors and fold to Vox’s demands, the same extreme right of which he recommended moving away when he intended to act as a loose verse from the PP?
Does the PP have its own safety idea, beyond putting wedges among government partners, now that Trump and Putin are in treatment to distribute the world?
In this world of blocks that falls apart, dynamite the international order we knew, does something come about foreign policy?
The answer to the previous questions is depends. Because Alberto Núñez Feijóo is always him and his circumstances. In the spring of 2022 the leader of the PP had a plan and some principles when he finally decided to leave the Galicia of his comfortable absolute majorities. Four years before he had threatened to attend the primaries to happen to Mariano Rajoy, as many PP leaders asked for.
Although he had a hard time reminding him he also kept his party in suspense for days for a personal decision. In the biography Feijóo’s trip, the village boy who never lost elections (The sphere of books, 2021) His biographer, Fran Balado, said that the PP leader came to ask his team two speeches: one to announce that he went to Madrid to try to return to the PP everything he had given him and another in which he would announce that he stayed because his true vocation was called Galicia.
He decided to read the second of the speeches, hundreds of positions and mayors of the Galician PP breathed relieved and when the time of knocking Pablo Casado came for his confrontation with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Feijóo volunteered but with some conditions: that the process was by acclamation, without primary, and that the support of those headers of the capital that influenced so much in conservative voters was guaranteed.
When he finally saw that the publishers and friends had decapitated Casado, Feijóo forgot that eternal commitment to Galicia and prepared to make his bags. As he said, he arrived in Madrid to win Sánchez, not to insult him, to make adult policy and, ultimately, to be president of the Government, the last step that was missing his political career that began as president of the insalud with 31 years, from there to the presidency of Correos, the vice presidency of the Xunta, the leadership of the autonomic PP that he inherited from Fraga and the four absolute majorities.
He promised a state opposition, but in Madrid Feijóo had a plan B, as has always happened since his teeth came out in the administration. Subsection: In the Xunta, in the late 80s, an interim union that was locked in the headquarters of the Galician Government to demand fixed places, but his career as a trade unionist lasted until he saw that the true race could do it from the offices, in the shadow of Romay Beccaría, which gave him the top positions in the autonomous administration within the Ministry of Agriculture.
Since then, Plan B of the Feijóo without being able is always the same: to subject everything until you get it without repairing the media. He did it in Galicia in his four years of opposition, one of the few periods in which he was not part of any government, when he promoted all kinds of dirty campaigns and ‘fake news’ (then he was not still called the lies of a lifetime) and even broke the great consensus about the language that Fraga had not even challenged.
Fifteen years later, again without power and in an unprecedented polarization climate, Feijóo adapts again to the environment: its purpose is to see Sánchez fall and will not repair to use all the instruments at its reach to achieve it. The one who needs details may ask the former Galician president Emilio Pérez Touriño and his ‘number two’, the nationalist, Anxo Quintana, about what were those years of Feijóo opposition.
According to that plan B, of all the hemicycle at his disposal he chose Miguel Tellado as a spokesman, the most suburb of his deputies, who not only stars in clashes with leaders of the left, has also opened crisis with potential PP partners such as the PNV. In case Tellado was not enough, Feijóo also recovered Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo for the group’s direction, the same leader on whom he threw pests when Casado appointed her spokesman. He has stopped giving interviews to all the means that do not dance the water and even usually goes to radio stations such as Jiménez Losantos that abjuraded when he served as president and free soul of the PP.
It is the Feijóo 3.0 that seeks at all costs to the Moncloa, the last station of his political career. If one day he succeeds, he will try to sell his previous version, the leader or left or right -wing that one day voted to Felipe González and that abominates the tension. But now it is time to wear out power even if that implies paralyzing the reception of migrant minors alone or the public health agency. For Feijóo it is nothing personal, just business.
