The Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, in Rome today confirmed the resignation of Jaime Mayor Oreja to top the list of PP to the European elections, but has clarified that the former Minister of the Interior will remain connected to the game. " Jaime Mayor still with us and I am sure that will continue in politics," he sentenced to questions from reporters, in order to clear up questions that could go Vox Mayor. Rajoy has separated definitively from the 'no' High to European progress Alejo Vidal- Quadras Vox. "They are two different cases, neither thread nor the two cases together. Unable to link the two issues," he said.
Rajoy, during a press conference with Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta after Italian Hispanic summit, has confirmed that the last time he spoke with Mayor was last Thursday, but during the party convention in Toledo Mayor and expressed his will not repeat. " He told me his will and I have to respect it," said the Spanish president, who both work glossed former Minister of Interior and long relationship that binds them.
" Jaime Mayor spent ten years in the European Parliament, we've known a long time and have agreed to the government. Actually, I replaced it in front of the Interior Ministry," said Rajoy, who said he has been " a great spokesman in the European Parliament. " The Chief Executive 's decision totally dissociated from that of Mayor Vidal. "Neither wire nor both together," he emphasized, before explaining that while Mayor informed him of his decision personally, abandonment of Vidal- Quadras has learned "by the press."
Who will be the replacement of Mayor Oreja has not given a clue. " The deputy head of the list we have not decided yet, touch and we will decide when we have no difficulty in that case," he said about who will fill the post of Mayor Oreja in the top of the European list.
Jaime Mayor Oreja announced this morning will not be the head of the party list in the European elections on May 25 and will enter the application. So I told the veteran leader of the dome formation before the formation leader, Mariano Rajoy, expected to rule on the appointment of the next candidate. According to a note from the PP, it comes from a decision of former Interior Minister José MarÃ_a Aznar, agreed with the Prime Minister.
The pressure has been very strong, inside and outside the PP, Rajoy to give satisfaction to the hard wing of the PP and chose to run for Mayor Jaime Europe, although it has announced early in the afternoon that refuses to be head list of popular. The president has delayed his decision, scheduled for Christmas, and there is no certainty about their choice. He seemed inclined to Miguel Arias Cañete, but this does not seem at all interested in leading the European candidate, elections of uncertain outcome for the PP.
Rajoy also seems to want to wait to see what places the PSOE candidate, yet Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, another veteran of battles like this, also seems to wait to see what your opponent does. Rajoy has this weekend policy convention in Valladolid in which the candidate should be solved, but not sure.
