Up to five regional PSOE barons appeared yesterday afternoon to show their support for Susana Díaz as the party's new general secretary. The apparent coincidence was not coincidental: they had spoken among themselves and also with the president of the Board who, when faced with the proposal to appear at the extraordinary congress, responded with “we'll see.” As El Confidencial Digital has been able to confirm , the regional barons spoke among themselves before appearing in the media, so their message of support for the president of the Board was planned since yesterday morning . One of the regional secretaries who expressed his preference for Díaz acknowledges to this newspaper that “it is obvious that several of us have spoken among ourselves.” However, he affirms that " we have not agreed to harm Madina, but rather to stop remaining silent and not sow more uncertainty internally." Regarding these internal doubts, another of the regional barons who support the president of the Board points directly to Rubalcaba: “We have simply positioned ourselves in a space that has been provoked. Once someone has decided this situation, we have to decide too .” Regarding the reasons for positioning themselves in favor of Díaz, one of the regional leaders of the PSOE affirms that “ she is the only one that can represent a real change , since she does not have any type of ties with the current executive.
Susana Díaz does not say “no” to the proposal to run Some of the barons consulted by ECD acknowledge having spoken by telephone, just yesterday, with Susana Díaz herself. In those conversations, she was encouraged to present herself as a Phone Number List candidate for the general secretary of the PSOE in the extraordinary congress to be held in July. The president of the Board, explain the regional leaders who have contacted her, has not at any time denied the possibility of running as the future leader of the party , although she has not wanted to get too wet either. Díaz's most repeated response, at the insistence of related regional barons, has been “we'll see . ” This response is interpreted as “a message of caution” that opens the doors to a candidacy for the general secretary of the socialists that “many of us expect.”The President of the Government has proposed to the still leader of the opposition, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, to form a common front to stop the advance of the formation. Mariano Rajoy is concerned about the daily presence of Pablo Iglesias or leaders of 'Vamos' in television talk shows. As El Confidencial Digital has been able to confirm through sources close to him, Mariano Rajoy has spoken in recent days with Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba about the phenomenon and the success of 'Vamos'. Private conversation In this contact with the still leader of the Socialists, the President of the Government has expressed his concern about the five seats that Podemos has won in the European Parliament.
The messages that he has transmitted to Rubalcaba are the following: -- It fundamentally affects you . That is, a vast majority of the support that Podemos has achieved comes from PSOE voters. Therefore, this movement is a problem that erodes socialists more than anything: it steals their sympathizers. -- However, the movement is a risk for all of Spain . Rajoy has spoken with Rubalcaba that Podemos is a danger for the country. Especially because of the economic proposals for training. There is more. The sources consulted add that both Rajoy and Rubalcaba agreed that day in defining Podemos as “ a tsunami ” that can negatively affect the stability of the State. Objective: stop Pablo Iglesias At the end of this conversation, the leaders of PP and PSOE agreed to form a common front to stop Pablo Iglesias and Podemos. The President of the Government has assumed the thesis that the success of Podemos last 25-M is the fault of the television networks . Specifically, the networks that invite Pablo Iglesias to his political gatherings and serve as his media speaker . Rajoy and Rubalcaba agreed to quell this phenomenon, to try to ensure that the match receives less coverage on television talk shows. Or, what is the same, that the networks reduce the appearances of Pablo Iglesias, especially on Cuatro and laSexta. ECD has learned that Mediaset has not received, at the moment, any message from the Government or the PSOE to minimize the presence of Iglesias in its programs. In fact, the leader of Podemos has appeared on ' Las Mañanas de Cuatro ' on Monday and Tuesday, on the set, and on Wednesday through a connection.
