Head of the list for the City Council, "he is aware that he cannot afford this electoral defeat, and therefore the practical thing is to place Aguirre as the head of the list ." Another reason that is handled within the party is that Rajoy is getting closer to Esperanza Aguirre with the aim of also 'winning over' Ignacio González . From the environment of the 'leader', however, it is assured that the president "is very respectful of González's management and that he does not seek Esperanza to act as a 'bridge' between the two." Aguirre “has lowered his tone” Although there are still sectors in the PP that see Esperanza Aguirre as a "serious threat" to Mariano Rajoy himself, those around the president consider that the rapprochement between both leaders has made the leader "lower her tone." Specifically, they assure that she “ is no longer constantly criticizing the Government, and her messages have become more positive .” The sources consulted highlight that the former president of the Community of Madrid has come out in defense of Rajoy on two occasions during the month of October. In one of them, she assured that “Mariano does what he has to do with Catalonia . ” The following week, and in the midst of controversy over the non-reduction of taxes at the national level, a conciliatory Aguirre assured that she was "sure" that " if Rajoy could lower taxes, he would do so today .

They intend to remove her from it and leave a free spot on the list. Foreseeable loss of seats According to the surveys conducted by Genoa, the PP will go from the 24 seats it now has to 18 . Six fewer places that further reduce the possibilities of the candidates t Phone Number List o enter the electoral list.

It is assumed that her next destination will be the European Parliament. --Juan Vicente Herrera . Mariano Rajoy is waiting to find out if the president of Castilla y León will repeat as head of the list in the next regional elections. If he decides to leave, the PP counts on him for Europe. -- Pedro Sanz and Ramón Luis Valcarce . Both presidents also have a guaranteed seat in the European Parliament if they decide to say goodbye to their respective regions. --Jaime Mayor Oreja . The last leader of the PP list in the 2009 elections had his door closed a few weeks ago. But the latest events – the repeal of the Parot doctrine and the demonstration of ETA victims – have made the PP leadership seriously consider including him on the lists.



Carlos Lesmes is the best positioned candidate to preside over the next General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). Next week the extension that PP and PSOE had given each other to decide the 20 members ends. Next Monday the renewal of the next CGPJ will close. The negotiations that have been carried out in recent weeks will conclude next week and, once the agreement is reached, it will be on Tuesday the 19th , when the approval will be carried out. Sources close to the negotiation have confirmed to El Confidencial Digital that Carlos Lesmes, proposed by the PP, is “the most liked candidate in the socialist ranks . ” The Supreme Court judge “is well regarded by all groups and especially by the PSOE,” they say. It must be remembered that the only reason why the Council has not yet been renewed is the lack of agreement between the PP and the PSOE. Sources from the PP, for their part, have stated to this confidential that Carlos Lesmes is a “man of consensus” , the main characteristic for which he is well regarded by the socialists. To the Supreme Court magistrate we must add the names of Juan Saavedra and Ángel Calderón , the other two strong candidates who are considered for the presidency. According to the new CGPJ reform law, the members themselves will elect the president. So far, few names are known that could be part of the judges' governing body. Of the 20 members who will be part, ECD has already announced that the CiU candidate will be Mercè Pigem at the proposal of the Senate. On behalf of the PNV, it will be the Bilbao lawyer Enrique Lucas Verdú.
