One year after the abrupt departure of Pablo Casado from the leadership of the PP and his last public intervention in the Cortes, the end of his political career slipped in again on Wednesday in the control session of the Government of Congress.
The president, Pedro Sánchez, included it out of the blue, to immediately reproach Cuca Gamarra, the popular spokesperson then and now, for her "changes of jackets" by "revering" at all times whoever is her boss and president of her party.
Sánchez had influenced this problem of the PP the day before in the Senate about the "stabbing" of the popular spokesman in that Chamber, Javier Maroto.

and internal messages that reveal the depth of the crisis that ended just a year ago with the leadership of Pablo Casado, and at a delicate moment of his coalition with Unidas Podemos due to several internal discrepancies.
President Sánchez himself marked a line of attack on Tuesday in the Senate on these betrayals in his allusions to Maroto.
And on Wednesday he reiterated them in the control session of Congress in his duel against Gamarra, which in those days was one of the most significant when praising the former president's accusations against Isabel Díaz Ayuso from Madrid for the emergency contracts provided from the Community to his brother.

Faced with Sánchez's parliamentary rebuke for his ease in varying support for his political bosses, Gamarra refreshed him that "the biggest change of jacket" was his when he promised millions of Spaniards in the previous electoral campaign that he would never govern with Podemos or EH Bildu.
However, he avoided getting more mired in the matter to immediately return to the goal of the day and the bait of the PP in almost all his appearances, now against the repercussions of the law
of only yes is yes
.
In the PP they are ignoring the content of the messages written a year ago by almost the entire Casado team, in order to minimize their importance and so as not to deviate from the only objective indicated by the new leader: defeat Sánchez.

"Feijóo is in the thick of it, strategically, and in the issues that must be prepared to win the elections," says a PP leader with good connections with the former president of the Xunta de Galicia.
Several officials with positions in the leadership of the PP abound in this message: "The Galician knows what he has come for, he knows that he has a bullet and an opportunity to win and govern, and that is what he is in and he is not going to divert or entertain in minor things, fights or internal differences, more or less opportune messages from Gamarra or what it seems to Isabel Díaz Ayuso ”.
In the PP they argue that Gamarra and other leaders of that committee were "deceived" by Casado and his
number two
, Teodoro García Egea, by not providing them with all the information or all the data or evidence of the allegedly irregular contracts of which they would have been benefited Tomás Díaz Ayuso.
Some components of that team requested them without success.
Most complain that neither Casado nor Egea involved them well in the strategy or in the solution to that crisis.
And they defend Gamarra's behavior as "loyal to the party, to the project and now useful for Feijóo, because he has a good character, knows how to make a team and you can work easily with her."

In this environment, and after learning about information and behaviors around Feijóo in recent days that have clearly annoyed Casado, the two leaders met on Wednesday for lunch at a very busy and central inn in the capital.
The appointment was theoretically secret, although officially in the PP it was transmitted that it was "very cordial", that it was scheduled weeks ago and that it was postponed "for scheduling reasons".
Other PP sources assure that lunch was closed on Tuesday afternoon.
In the PSOE, however, they are going to relate this situation to "the colonization of Genoa 13 (headquarters of the PP) by Andalusians and Galicians."
And on Wednesday night, his parliamentary spokesman, Patxi López, connected that secret lunch date with the fact that the current president does not want Ayuso from Madrid to find out about those meetings with Casado and that in reality "Feijóo does not paint anything and does not lead the match".
