It is known that, in his view, the so-called policy of "institutional, political, and social normalization in Catalonia" launched by the PSOE from the Spanish government has posed a "risk" to "the continuity of Spain as a nation" and an "attack" against the Spanish Constitution. This Wednesday, at the inauguration of this year's FAES Campus, the former president of the Spanish executive added one more consequence in the Catalan context. </p>]]></description>

The PP leader already saw two days ago how José María Aznar and Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the party's hardline wing, <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/controversy-in-the-community-of-madrid-over-support-for-gaza-in-schools_1_5499904.html" >They corrected him after he spoke in Congress on Wednesday about the "massacre" of the Palestinian people.</a>At the closing ceremony of the FAES Campus this Friday, the foundation chaired by the former Spanish Prime Minister, Feijóo found himself in the awkward position of having to present his position on this issue—the theme of the conference was international politics—under the watch of Aznar, clearly aligned with Benja's government. Although Feijóo again spoke of the "massacre in Gaza," he toed the line of the former Spanish Prime Minister and the Prime Minister of Madrid. "It is not normal to condemn the Israeli people, who are still awaiting the release of their innocent hostages, and we must remember that they represent the only existing democracy in the Middle East," Feijóo stated.</p>]]></description>

When he left the Moncloa Palace in 2004, José María Aznar effectively assumed the presidency of this foundation. And in the summary of the Montoro case, the alleged corruption case affecting the top brass of the Treasury, the FAES appears on more than one occasion.</p>]]></description>
