SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Feb. 22 (EUROPE PRESS) –
The president of the Popular Party in the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, has asked the national president, Pablo Casado, to take a “step forward” with solutions “in hand” to get out of this “black hole” in which the PP is immersed , and he hopes that the members of the party do not have to pronounce themselves “by raising their hands” to say if they are in one place or another because that means “divide” and it is “very bad”.
This was stated in an interview with the Radio Canaria program ‘De la noche al día’, collected by Europa Press, following the meeting of the party’s management committee held yesterday and the fact that Pablo Casado has decided to convene next Monday the National Congress of the Popular Party at the meeting of the National Board of Directors.
Manuel Domínguez has been in favor of holding the national congress if it is so that there is “high vision” and a “common objective” and a “clear objective” are reached, but not if it only serves “to place some to one side and others to another”. “If this means picking up the phone, calling members, militants and officials one by one, putting some on one side and others on the other, the party is going to come out more divided and wounded than it is,” he warned. .
The leader of the popular Canarians indicated that he has spoken by telephone with other regional presidents of the PP and pointed out that they all agree that this “only has one solution, which is through dialogue.” For this reason, Domínguez requested that there be “dialogue and consensus” between the parties in conflict and that a solution be provided to this problem.
Asked if the solution goes through Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Manuel Domínguez wanted to remember that this was already experienced in the last congress, when “all the spotlights were turned towards Galicia”, and at the moment “perhaps the same thing is happening”: “No There is an alternative approach, there is not even a congress approach yet, and I hope that in the Board of Directors we can have an objective approach and that it thinks solely and exclusively of the Popular Party”.
Regarding the two events that have given rise to this crisis, the alleged case of corruption in the mask contracts and, on the other, the alleged investigation of the Madrid president, Domínguez pointed out that talking about corruption is “playing the game of the left ” and stressed that “very hard” cases have been seen throughout all this time in the Socialist Party “where they have not even given explanations”, alluding directly to former minister Ábalos.
The president of the Canarian PP highlighted the “responsibility” that Isabel Díaz Ayuso has shown these days, “coming out a few hours later to show and explain what those contracts were like”, and with respect to the alleged investigation of Ayuso herself, Manuel Domínguez He indicated that in the telephone conversation he had with Pablo Casado last Sunday, he gave him his word that this is “absolutely false.”
In any case, he has admitted that these are the “worst days” he has “ever” experienced in politics: “I have never experienced a situation like this; it has never hurt me so much; I have never felt so crestfallen,” said Manuel Domínguez, who makes it clear that he has “never” thought of “throwing in the towel”, although he admits that sometimes he wants to “throw a pussy”.
