      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/d655049b-1d2c-4428-8ceb-aba762271c0e_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>This week saw a shake-up in the Catalan People's Party, with changes in the leadership of two of the four Catalan provinces: <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/the-president-of-the-people-s-party-pp-in-tarragona-leaves-office-the-day-after-his-party-counterpart-in-girona-left-office_25_5495771.html" target="_blank">Tarragona and Girona</a>, two districts where the state leadership and the party itself in Catalonia identified urgently needed replacements for different reasons. But these changes, particularly those in Tarragona, have brought back memories of old battles involving the new leader, Maria Mercè Martorell, and the current president of the party in Catalonia, Alejandro Fernández—who is further weakened by the structure. Specifically significant is the loss of the Salou councilor who until now was president, Mario García, who enjoyed Fernández's utmost confidence and campaigned for him when very few did in the battle with Alberto Núñez Feijóo. He is replaced by a team of opposing views because it embraces the "constitutional Catalanism" that the Galician leader would like, according to various sources, and because it places Martorell, who is also a councilor from Tarragona - protagonist of notorious past clashes with the Catalan leader when he was also a councilor and local leader - as the new leader, accompanied by Josep Piqué. In Girona, on the other hand, a new fire is chosen to replace Jaume Veray with <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/jaume-veray-leaves-the-presidency-of-the-pp-in-girona-and-the-young-emporda-native-daniel-ruiz-takes-center-stage_25_5494865.html" target="_blank">the young man from Empordà Daniel Ruiz</a>, who was his number two.</p>]]></description>
