The Diplomat
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, met yesterday with the ambassadors of France and Argentina, to whom he explained his project to govern Spain and his Plan for Institutional Quality and Democratic Regeneration, recently presented in Cadiz.
According to the PP, Feijóo held two separate meetings with the French ambassador, Jean-Michel Casa, and the Argentine ambassador, Ricardo Alfonsín, at the PP headquarters in Madrid. These meetings, according to the party, are framed “within the round of contacts” that the PP leader is maintaining with diplomatic representatives accredited in Spain. In recent weeks he has already met with the US ambassador, Julissa Reynoso, as well as with the heads of mission of Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Finland. For Feijóo, both France and Argentina represent “two essential countries” for Spanish foreign policy.
During the meeting, the leader of the opposition conveyed to the two ambassadors “the basic lines of the political, economic and social project of the PP with which the president of the party will be supported to govern the country when the voters so decide”. Likewise, he shared with both the Plan for Institutional Quality and Democratic Regeneration, “which is a contract with the country and a tool against resignation”. The plan, a document with 60 measures to “put an end to the nepotism, opacity and arbitrariness” of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, was presented by Feijóo himself on January 23rd in the Oratory of San Felipe Neri in Cadiz, where the Constitution of 1812 was promulgated.
During his meeting with Jean-Michel Casa, Feijóo praised the work carried out by France during the Presidency of the Council of the EU during the first half of last year, which allowed concrete progress to be made in an exceptional context of war in Ukraine, “with the adoption of 130 texts on priority issues for a more sovereign, more social, greener and closer to citizens Europe”.
Likewise, during his meeting with Ricardo Alfonsín, the president of the PP shared “the magnificent experience he had last November, when he traveled to Latin America to promote the role of Spain as a bridge to Europe”. On that trip, Feijóo visited Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Ecuador. Argentina, “which will hold general elections this fall like Spain,” has a strong presence of Spanish companies and “one of the most important colonies of Spaniards outside our borders, estimated at 480,000 citizens,” recalled the PP. For this reason, Feijóo, who considers Argentina as “a brother country”, was “very interested in further strengthening economic relations with that country, which are already very good”.
