Jaime Mayor Oreja will not repeat as the PP candidate for the European elections. The decision was communicated to Rajoy on January 9 at the Moncloa Palace. The president asked him to “reflect” for a week, but the former Minister of the Interior confirmed his resignation last Friday the 24th. As sources very close to Mayor Oreja explain to El Confidencial Digital , the PP spokesperson in the European Parliament made the decision not to repeat as a candidate during the Christmas 'break' . The resignation is not due to disagreements with the PP, but to "personal reasons" and the former minister's long career in Brussels: " he has been there for ten years now, and that also weighs ." Once the non-continuity in the EU Parliament was decided, the MEP requested an interview with Mariano Rajoy, which took place on January 9 at the Moncloa Palace . The President of the Government, visibly surprised by the decision, transmitted the following message to Mayor Oreja: “ Take a week, think about it, reflect on it, and we will talk about it .” Until last Friday, the still president of the Spanish Delegation in Brussels was “going around” about his decision. Finally, he telephoned Mariano Rajoy, on the eve of the Catalan PP Convention, to confirm that his resignation was “irrevocable .
He will not go to Vox The sources consulted by ECD explain that Jaime Mayor Oreja will not enter the European lists "in any position", after having ruled out leading the candidacy. However, no political challenge is posed in any other formation either . In this sense, the MEP's entourage is categorical in stating that "Mayor will neither abandon the PP nor go to Vox ." With these words, they want to stop the speculation that has arisen in recent hours Phone Number List after his resignation and the departure of Vidal-Quadras to the new party presented two weeks ago by Santiago Abascal. According to the MEP's collaborators, "Jaime maintains a good relationship with Rajoy, who has always been very affectionate and respectful towards him." His continuity in the PP is absolutely ruled out: “ The president has encouraged him to continue in politics and working for his party, and he is going to do so .” Surprise at the Spanish Delegation in Brussels Jaime Mayor Oreja's decision has surprised all the members of the Spanish Delegation in Brussels, who were not expecting any announcement in this regard. Senior representatives of the European PP explain to ECD that " we were sure that he was going to repeat as head of the list , and that he was willing, so he caught us by surprise." The same sources assure that “neither Jaime nor anyone else had told us anything, so today (yesterday) we found out like in Spain.
Mayor Oreja's colleagues explain that “he is going to continue with his agenda in Brussels, and this Tuesday he will attend all the meetings he had planned. He is going to continue working in Parliament until the last day .”Vox, the new political party presented this week by José Antonio Ortega Lara and Santiago Abascal, hardly worries the Popular Party. This is what is said in the national leadership. Despite actually being a split from the PP and being made up of some faces of certain significance among conservative voters, especially Ortega Lara, the popular leadership does not give life to the new formation beyond the European elections in May. “It is true that now the Government is very focused on economic issues and somewhat more passive in other aspects of politics, such as the issue of Catalonia or ETA. Which, logically, generates discomfort among conservative right-wing voters. That is why parties are born that can get a certain amount of votes from discontent. But its journey is minimal ,” say sources from the PP leadership to which El Confidencial Digital has had access. Leadership problems According to his analysis, in the case of new parties, the ability to make themselves known to society depends on the charisma of their leader and their ability to appear in the media and launch their messages.
