The Popular Party on Saturday (July 21st) appointed its new leader, whose mission will be to revive his movement, marked by the fall of the Rajoy government.
The Popular Party, the main formation of the traditional Spanish right, turns the page Rajoy years. The 37-year-old deputy Pablo Casado was designated by the party's electorate on Saturday, July 21, according to his rival Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, who was questioned by the press shortly before the official announcement of the results.
Pablo Casado was nominated little less than two months after the brutal fall of the Rajoy government, dismissed from power in early June by a motion of censure, against a background of his conviction of his party in a large corruption case. The designation of this rising figure of the Popular Party (PP) marks a shift to the right and a generational shift for conservative formation, which remains the first party in the Spanish Parliament.
M. Casado will have the difficult task of leading his party in the next legislative elections, scheduled no later than mid-2020, against the socialist Pedro Sanchez who has risen to power in the wake of the ousting of Mariano Rajoy, with the support of the Radical leftist party Podemos, Catalan separatists and Basque nationalists
President of the PP since 2004 and head of Spain since 2011, Mariano Rajoy did not support any candidate for the leadership of the movement and is removed from politics after being removed from power
