Feijóo asks to wait for Meloni’s management: "Everything that is to rectify your initial approaches will be good"

The message that they have prepared at the national headquarters of the party in Madrid’s Calle de Génova is based on “respect for the decision of the Italians”, as the party leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, stated this Tuesday, in statements to the media in Majorca. And he continues with an elevation towards Europe, so that no one can draw a parallel with the situation in Spain: “The European PP has not had a good result in Italy. If you ask me, as a member of the European PP, we would like the result to be better for our party.

In the PP they ask to wait “to see what the Government of Italy does.” And they point out that “everything that is to rectify their initial proposals in favor of Europeanism would be a good rectification for Europeans and Italians.” “We are going to see in the coming semesters, I hope that Italy does not abandon the commitment to the euro and the EU, Feijóo concluded.

The same argument has been deployed by the general secretary and parliamentary spokesperson, Cuca Gamarra, who has assured in Congress that the PP “would have liked another result” and that she trusts that the future Italian government, headed by a woman nostalgic for Benito Mussolini, bets for “stability” and “that Europe can have confidence in them”.

The PP has thus taken almost two days to react to the results in Italy. On Monday, Feijóo chose not to mention the matter in his initial intervention before the National Executive Committee that met in Genoa, with the presence of all the regional barons. There were no references in the internal debate either, despite the fact that the rise of the extreme right in Europe may have consequences for the continental family of the PP, which in 2019 took control of most of the institutions, but which has been on the decline since then. And also in Spain, where Vox had entered a crisis after its result in Andalusia.

Moreno and Ayuso, different opinions

Precisely in Andalusia Vox received the explicit support of Meloni, who participated in a campaign event, then only as a candidate. And its president, Juan Manuel Moreno, did assess the results in Italy on Monday before the Executive Committee meeting.

The message from the regional leader who can boast of better electoral results was prescient about what his leader was going to say a day later. Moreno also asked to wait to see what policies the extreme right puts in place, he trusted that it “respects the values ​​and objectives of the European Union”, without specifying more. The Andalusian president said that he does not like “that any political position is radicalized” and stated: “We are doing something wrong when we are not capable of occupying the political center.”

The speech of Feijóo and Moreno, who have divided the organic control of the PP, collides directly with that of their internal nemesis: Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The Madrid president, stubborn in her cultural battle, has chosen to remove the focus from Berlusconi’s very bad results and put him on the left led by the Social Democratic Democratic Party, which achieved second position. “Those who read the Italian elections as a danger for the victory of the right are mistaken,” she said on Monday, to point out: “The reality is that socialism, the left and the far left have been defeated once again.”

Ayuso also raised, during an event organized by the newspaper The world, that it is necessary to “see in more detail the proposals that the government will launch” by Meloni, despite the fact that he spoke of “revenge” at the end of his campaign. For the Madrid leader, who is looking for her place against Moreno in Feijóo’s future succession, the important thing is “the reaction of the opponents.” “

“It seems that only a few can access the government,” said Ayuso, placing himself on the side of the “others.” The idea was confirmed later: “There are some parts of the speech that I have been listening to over the days and that do not match mine, but other parts of the diagnosis of the situation in Italy and that many countries of the European Union share. ”.
