Alberto Núñez Feijóo is gradually revealing his inner circle to try, this time for sure, to reach the Moncloa after the polls. The PP confirmed this morning one of the most relevant names in this regard: Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, one of the most forceful voices of Spanish nationalism against Pedro Sánchez's government and independence movements, will be number two on the Madrid list and will form a tandem with the popular leader. And right behind her will be a much more moderate profile, Borja Sémper.

After Pedro Sánchez's call for elections, Spanish television stations have increased the level of political tension. Even Ana Rosa Quintana, who has been demanding the end of the legislature for years, seemed angry when the moment finally arrived. She has been indignant at any decision by Sánchez for so many months that on the day her wishes came true, she did not know how to change her mood. How difficult it is to stop the informative hamster wheel when you have been pushing it by inertia for so many years.

Ten months ago, Borja Sémper announced that he had just been diagnosed with cancer. During this time, the illness has kept him away from political activity. This Tuesday, the popular spokesperson has officially returned. Sémper starred in a packed press breakfast in Madrid, where, amidst expressions of affection, he wanted to "bid farewell to this difficult stage" during which his "vital compass coordinates" have changed. The PP leader had already reappeared in some media outlets and this Monday rejoined the party's steering committee. Next week, he will be the one to appear at the weekly press conference in Génova. However, Sémper wanted to hold this event with the specific objective of speaking openly about his pancreatic cancer in order to stop talking about it.
