Posada Rajoy appointed to preside over the Congress and the Senate García Escudero

In its first decision on the ever-complicated politics of appointments, the PP leader finally got wet this morning and has named two veteran with a very little controversial to preside over the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, Pio Garcia Jesus Posada and Escudero. The future prime minister will propose to Vitoria Alfonso Alonso and José Manuel Barreiro Galician as spokespersons, the first in the House and second in the Senate.

Mariano Rajoy has communicated these appointments at the end of its much anticipated speech to the members of the Board of National Popular Party, meeting in Madrid. Jesus Posada and Pio Garcia Escudero morning take up their positions in the sessions of both houses of formation. As vice president of Congress Celia Villalobos was appointed as vice president of the Senate Juan José Lucas. Celia Villalobos, Dolors Montserrat, Ignacio Gil Lazaro and Santiago Cervera complete the list of officers of Congress, and Ramon Matias Conde Rabanera and the Senate.

The most relevant of these appointments, plus the type of politician who believes Rajoy proper control of the proceedings in the chambers, is also what it means to discard before its imminent government. That is, it was speculated that he might preside over the Congress, for example, her friend Ana Pastor, former Minister of Health at the time of Aznar, and even the current mayor of Madrid, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón. Both are now candidates for the Government. He had also considered the possibility that the current official spokesman of the PP, Esteban Gonzalez Pons, could saturate as Speaker of the House. Pons is now entering the pool of ministers.

The key appointments are to be found in the temper obsession Rajoy by a legislature that is expected very delicate. With a highly fragmented parliament with Amaiur in Congress as a global player, and an economic crisis and foresight to take "difficult steps" of cuts and controversial reforms such as labor or the possibility of so-called bad bank, the PP leader has chosen Posada, a quiet man who never alters for nothing, and Alonso, a political profile and experienced negotiator, to try to calm waters that riots come as the economic situation. Profiles like Fernandez, for example, would have been well off his mark by very conservative and difficult to be seen as a man of consensus. Alonso Posada and left their abundance. Rajoy wants to try to prevent the PP alone assume the cost of the crisis, as happened to the PSOE among other things because the popular vote against their cutting measures. Alonso will be in charge of trying to support games CiU PP measures. Nothing more to be named spoke several times the word "dialogue." In internal key, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria reinforces their power and that, as expected, the spokesman is a person of his absolute confidence in its core business.

PP leader wanted to send a message to that effect to their leaders, which are often stressed, perhaps thinking about the situation of the PSOE, which should not leave the party now coming to the Government, must take care to to remain strong. On a day that started the trial of Francisco Camps, which the PP has made only after the seamless support Rajoy offered until he resigned in July, the future prime minister did not cite the case, but called on their leaders exemplary in their behavior. "The PP has the responsibility to govern in many institutions.

It is not going to understand that we do things that have to be ashamed. I ask that we be frugal in the management of public money, but also attitudes and gestures. Today it is more important than ever. We provide you with any significance. "

Rajoy has peppered some humor hits the tension experienced by many leaders of the PP this morning before the packed hall of the Board of the party. First surprises left for last names, then that party has begun announcing a package deal ... with the PSOE. An agreement, however, only for the distribution of charges in both chambers and will mean that the PP will have 5 of the nine counts of Congress, a three PSOE and CiU. Such distribution in the Senate will be 4 seats for the PP, two for the PSOE and one for senior citizens:

In the PP everyone knew and said many years ago, but since a few weeks ago are starting to realize also that are without: Mariano Rajoy is the only boss in the game. He showed three and half years ago, when elected as parliamentary spokesperson Soraya Saenz de Santamaria against heavyweights. Today he has done it again.

There were many pools and almost all pointed in the same direction. What it clear is that Rajoy was going to start today to bother many people, exactly what I always try to avoid. Because today we have delivered, in the scheme of an absolute majority party as the PP, the smaller prizes. Almost everyone prefers being a minister and those who have appointed today will be discarded for the government, due on December 22. That almost goes Pio Garcia Escudero is one of the few politicians in level, and the only member of the dome of the PP, which had made it clear that yearned to be a minister, but President of the Senate. And that is your destination. Still, even this time Rajoy has avoided major controversy, and though of course there are frustrated that the job they wanted, the two leading members of his leadership did not want to stay in Congress, and Gonzalez Pons Gallardón have managed to avoid it, so that the future president so far has avoided a problem. But without doubt the government will have to do because there are, of course, and it happens in every game, many more applicants than available positions minister.
