Finally, Mas's aspiration remained in borage water. Neither Merkel nor any member of his government agreed to receive him. His last trip to gather support outside our borders for his sovereignty project took him to Russia , taking advantage of an economic forum, although the trip did not go as expected. But he did not manage to meet with any relevant political leader and nor did he obtain the support of Spanish diplomacy for this. Artur Mas travels today to Brussels , where he will continue explaining his independence project in order for the secession and the referendum he defends in Catalonia to be seen favorably in Europe.There are a few socialist leaders who have spoken to Madina, in recent weeks, to show her their unwavering support if she decides to lead a candidacy in the next PSOE primaries, which will designate the person who will lead the lists in the general elections, according to what they say. sources close to Ferraz told El Confidencial Digital . Among those who are mobilizing and have told him that they are with him, there are mainly deputies and intermediate-ranking leaders , from various socialist federations, who consider that Madina is at this moment the best party candidate to face Mariano Rajoy. The arguments of the 'Midianites' The arguments used by the 'Madinistas' to support the candidacy of Eduardo Madina are above all these: -- Is young . He therefore has a long future ahead of him.
At the same time, he is an experienced leader (he has been in Congress since 2004) and is known among the population. His appointment as general secretary of the socialists in Congress has contributed to this popularity, a position that has given him the media Special Database speaker that a party leader requires. -- He's prepared . Madina has a degree in History (from the University of Deusto), has a Master's degree in International Relations (from the University of the Basque Country) and is also a university professor. What's more, he was named one of the young world leaders with the best future by the World Economic Forum in Davos. -- Victim of ETA . In the PSOE they value his fight and firmness to put an end to the terrorist gang. Despite the attack he suffered, Madina has been one of the supporters of negotiating with the gunmen to solve terrorism in the Basque Country. “It is totally clean” But the main characteristic of Madina that those who support him highlight is that “ it is totally clean .” The Basque politician has not been part of the criticized Zapatero governments , as Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba and Carme Chacón have done . He has, therefore, no hindrance or any responsibility for the current situation of the country, his supporters explain.
Despite this support, Eduardo Madina has not expressed at any time what his intention is. He does not talk about the subject even with those closest to him. “ He doesn't say that he is going to show up or that he won't ,” sources close to him assure ECD . In the television programs or gatherings he attends, he doesn't talk about it either. Rubalcaba is the problem As for Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, the general secretary of the PSOE has acknowledged in recent days to those close to him that his figure is especially worn out. Almost a year has passed since the general elections and, in the meetings and conversations he has with his Ferraz team, Rubalcaba is pessimistic about his electoral prospects . He recognizes that his speech does not fully resonate with citizens. “ Rubalcaba is dead, and he knows it ,” a person close to the Socialist Executive explains to ECD . “The problem is not the PSOE or its proposals. It’s him ,” he adds. The surveys , both those conducted by the PSOE and those published by the media, indicate that, indeed, Rubalcaba is not getting any benefit from the unpopular measures of Mariano Rajoy's Government.
