Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Alejandro Fernández held a meeting this afternoon to “share the current political context in both Catalonia and Spain” and, in short, to address the candidacy of the Catalan PP in the upcoming Catalan elections of 12-M. The statement made public by the party from Madrid indicates that “the national leadership will finalize the consultation with the main assets of the party in the next few hours” to finish defining the next electoral poster.
After the meeting, Alejandro Fernández published on the social network best possible outcome.” The meeting puts an end to the rift between the president of the Popular Party and the Catalan leader, a rift that has weighed on the indecision of the national leadership of the PP to decide on the Catalan candidacy.
In the months prior to the electoral call, relations between the national leadership of the PP and Alejandro Fernández were being polished, but the electoral advance caught this formation on the back foot. The Popular Party worked on a medium-term horizon to make changes to the formation and build a Catalan center project for the general elections. In this context, it was considered that Alejandro Fernández was the candidate and developed the project in the medium term, as well as rushing the scenario and changing the candidacy.
