According to information obtained by ARA, former municipal spokesperson Alberto Fernández Díaz has filed an internal complaint against Sirera, alleging that he "violated" party statutes regarding appointments to district councils and also concerning "memberships." The power struggle continues and is escalating, with the internal complaint now in the hands of the national PP leadership. Despite everything, Alberto Núñez Feijóo's leadership has not changed course in this conflict: for now, the complaint is shelved, and support for Sirera remains unwavering, as this newspaper has confirmed.</p>]]></description>

Despite the crusades waged by numerous party officials and members against the city's leader, Daniel Sirera, and the widespread negative sentiment against him within broad sectors of the party—in addition to his clash with the provincial leadership—an order has been issued by the national leadership on Génova Street to enforce Sirera's peace and quell any dissent, according to several sources. The party's general secretary and a close associate of Sirera, Miguel Tellado, has called for an end to the criticism in the face of a barrage of complaints, according to various sources. <em>popular peace </em>According to multiple sources, the message is "don't mess with him," "don't criticize anything," and "don't give your opinion" if it clashes with Sirera's line. Therefore, don't hinder his own style—critics see that "he doesn't consult anyone"—nor comment on disappointing polls or express indignation through internal channels. This message has reached the districts and the entire party to prevent internal dissent. In other words, <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/crusade-against-daniel-sirera-in-the-pp-of-barcelona_1_5463045.html" target="_blank">the opposing movements that went "furthermore"</a>With disgruntled leaders lamenting numerous actions by Sirera and pressuring the national leadership to dismiss him—questioning his "showy, publicity-driven approach based solely on videos" and the imposition of his surname in the PP's acronym—the situation has stalled with the granting of carte blanche. However, this hasn't been without unease. This was already evident on Friday with the announcement of the formation of an unprecedented local board in the city, with Sirera himself assuming the role of "president" in a position that has never existed and is not recognized by the statutes because Barcelona was originally organized into districts. All this to "strengthen" his position.</p>]]></description>

Several leaders are calling for a change in his way of doing things and are opposed to it for strategic reasons, and due to the management of the municipal group and the party in Barcelona. Aware of this <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/feijoo-s-affair-with-catalan-leader-is-stirring-up-the-catalan-people-s-party-pp_1_5389864.html" target="_blank">The romance between Sirera and the leader of the People's Party in Spain, Alberto Núñez Feijóo</a>, do not plan to present an alternative candidacy to unseat him as the head of the list in the next municipal elections, as this depends on the state leadership; however, several sources indicate that the movements will go "further." Meanwhile, Sirera has publicly stated multiple times that he will be the candidate in 2027 and defended his "own profile" for Barcelona, since his objective is to expand the reach of the Popular Party in the Catalan capital, as this newspaper has already explained.</p>]]></description>
