Aguirre says she "possibly" would have resigned if she had found herself in Mazón's situation.

BarcelonaEsperanza Aguirre doesn't mince her words when it comes to her opinions. Even though it concerns a sensitive issue for the PP, such as the continuation of Carlos Mazón, president of the Generalitat Valenciana, in office after his administration of the DANA (National Action Plan for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women). In this regard, the former Madrid president admitted this Tuesday that she "possibly" would have resigned if she had found herself in Mazón's situation. So far, beyond what some members of the Popular Party may say or think in private, no one has dared to defend Mazón's resignation in public. In an interview with Ideas Cafe Aguirre, from RTVE, also said that Mazón "wasn't where he should have been" the day the flood began, but also added that "no one knew" that the Poio ravine would overflow its banks.

"I am the queen of resignations; I have resigned three times. It is a very personal decision," Aguirre added, referring to the times she has had to resign from her position, one of which was when the Canal de Isabel II case involved her former right-hand man, Ignacio Gon. "Resigning honors you and doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, but rather that you made a mistake," she argued. In any case, the former leader of the Madrid Popular Party (PP) also rejected the idea that the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, should be the one to dismiss Mazón. "The president of the party should neither appoint nor remove his appointment," she stressed.

Aguirre is one of the staunchest defenders of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and she proved it once again this Tuesday. "I know Isabel Díaz Ayuso and I think she's doing phenomenally," she stated. Now, does that mean she's not in favor of Alberto Núñez Feijóo's leadership? Aguirre has said no. "The national leader right now is Feijóo, and he's the one who will run in the elections. I support Feijóo," she stated. Within the PP, everyone assumes that the president of the PP will have a second chance and will be reappointed at the congress in early July. In fact, this Tuesday, Feijóo demonstrated this consensus by presenting 71.8% more endorsements than three years ago. A total of 94,501 members have supported his candidacy.

Doubts about the future of the PP leadership hover not over the meeting at the beginning of July but rather in view of the following congresses. Do you think Ayuso will make the leap in the future to lead the PP at the national level? Aguirre has left the door open: "No one can say; perhaps she wants to make the leap." The former Madrid president has also not had to once again attack the Spanish president, Pedro Sánchez, whom she has compared to Hitler, and she has also asserted that the independence movement governs "through the back door."
