After Catalonia and before Euskadi and Galicia, the national president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, traveled to Aragon this Friday as part of the regional tour undertaken to present his economic program as an “alternative of change” at the head of the central government.
The leader of the popular has first visited the Zaragoza City Council to then visit the Nurel fiber and polymer manufacturing company, a leader in the production of clay for the fertilizer and ceramics sectors. From his facilities, he has redounded in his criticism of the inaction of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, when it comes to softening the economic impact derived from inflation in the pockets of the Spanish. And he has offered him his economic cookbook in which he has revealed his intention to bring to the debate on the state of the nation next week a package of measures for the government to “modify its energy policy.”
Feijóo advocates reviewing the useful life of the five Spanish nuclear power plants while defending the completion of the penetration of renewable energies, betting on biogas and hydrogen, taking advantage of European funds to improve interconnections with the rest of Europe.
The leader of the opposition has pointed out that the objectives of a “responsible” government must be to “guarantee a quality, sustainable energy supply through all available energy sources” in order to achieve “affordable” prices for households and maintain the competitiveness of companies.
Feijóo’s tour of Spain also has an internal reading since the Galician is taking advantage to press the state of the PP in the different territories. Above all, in the Basque Country and Catalonia, where the Galician leader wants to promote a “revulsive” with “changes” that give more muscle to his formation after the disastrous electoral results harvested by the popular in the last appointments with the polls in 2020 and 2021, respectively. In which, in none of the cases, did he even get 7% of the votes.
In the post-procés era, with the political situation somewhat calmer after the granting of pardons to the pro-independence prisoners, Feijóo contributed during his speeches yesterday in Barcelona his new “moderate” style of doing politics that is attributed to him compared to his predecessors, especially with Pablo Casado. His message sounded pre-campaign when he presented “a new PP”. According to him, he said, “the PP today is a formation that guarantees desire and arguments to combat the decadence to which some political currents want to lead Catalonia”.
In the Barcelona Tribune colloquium organized by the Societat Econòmica Barcelonesa d’Amics del País with the collaboration of La Vanguardia and the Spanish Association of Managers (AED), the Galician leader expressed his “desire” is to contribute to social reconciliation and the economic recovery ”of Catalonia after it has been shown that“ walking alone in today’s world ”is“ something reckless ”.
On Saturday, the leader of the PP will travel to Ermua (Vizcaya) where the PP will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the assassination of Ermua councilor Miguel Ángel Blanco, kidnapped and murdered by ETA in 1997. At the closing ceremony, he will be accompanied by former Prime Minister José María Aznar and the sister of the ETA victim, María del Mar Blanco.
