There have been no surprises. The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, surrounds himself with his main collaborators in the Congress of Deputies, whom he puts at the top of the list of their provinces of origin. Thus, while Cuca Gamarra will head the list for La Rioja, ElÃas Bendodo will do so for Málaga, Esteban González Pons for Valencia, Miguel Tellado for A Coruña, Carmen Fúnez for Ciudad Real, and Juan Bravo for Seville.
With these designations the doubts of the number ones are cleared up, but the question of who will accompany Alberto Núñez Feijóo remains, like two for Madrid, since with the announcement of these heads of the list he has put an end to some speculation, such as that of that it would be the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, who would make the electoral ticket for Madrid.
The announcement of the numbers one confirms that Nacho MartÃn Blanco, until last week spokesman for Ciudadanos in the Parliament of Catalonia, will be the number one of the PP for Barcelona, ​​as La Vanguardia announced. In the rest of the Catalan provinces, the heads of the list will be: Concepció Veray, for Girona, Dante Pérez, for Lleida and Pere Lluis Huget Tous, for Tarragona.
With the designation of these heads of the list, approved this morning by the PP’s national electoral committee, 75 percent of the heads of the 2019 list are renewed, the only general elections in which Pablo Casado was head of the list. Thus, of the 52 provinces, 39 of the 52 heads of the list change for the July 23 elections.
According to popular leadership sources, the criteria used by the electoral committee, chaired by Galician Diego Calvo, has been to “include people who have a long political and legislative career, as well as a” proven experience in public management and private”, with profiles that, in addition to having a political or professional background, “have been part of the party structures and have done a magnificent job during this legislature”.
