The end of the Parot doctrine and the Government's position regarding the Strasbourg ruling has agitated the PP internally. Some national leaders of the party are 'moving' to demand that Rajoy and Cospedal make a gesture towards the victims of ETA. Specifically, they demand that Jaime Mayor Oreja and Mari Mar Blanco be on the 'popular' list for the European elections. As El Confidencial Digital has learned , some prominent members of the national executive of the PP have held conversations, during the last week, to debate the response that the party should have to the repeal of the Parot doctrine . One of the proposals that has had the most support is to include, in the list for the Europeans, people very close to the victims of terrorism , as a gesture towards this group. Two of the most repeated names in this sense have been those of Jaime Mayor Oreja and Mari Mar Blanco . [OBJECT] Mayor Oreja would like to repeat The name of Jaime Mayor Oreja always appears in the different meetings of PP leaders in which the European elections are discussed. Number one on the list in the last two elections to the European Parliament, the former Minister of the Interior had on this occasion fewer options to repeat his seat in Brussels after May 2014 . In fact, as discussed in these pages , Mayor Oreja had set his future as president of the CEU or the European Association of Catholics, although he ruled out Rajoy including him in the candidacy.
Now, according to the PP leaders consulted by ECD, “including Jaime would be the best response to victims of terrorism concerned about the party's position with respect to the Parot doctrine.” The same sources also assure that " knowing Rajoy, he is sure to Phone Number List handle that possibility ." Those closest to Mayor Oreja assure that the 'popular' "is waiting for a call from Rajoy" to find out his future. The former Minister of the Interior “would not mind repeating” if the president considers it appropriate, so he is waiting for what the party leader decides. Mari Mar Blanco has supported the Government Together with Mayor Oreja, senior PP officials support Mari Mar Blanco for the European elections: “It would be the greatest possible recognition of the victims of terrorism , and demonstrate to society that those who have suffered the barbarity of ETA are with us and we with them". President of the Victims of Terrorism Foundation, Mari Mar Blanco has been the only representative of the group of victims who has come out in defense of the Government after the demonstration called by the associations in Madrid two Sundays ago after the repeal of the Parot Doctrine . Miguel Ángel Blanco's sister assured that, in this process, the Executive “did what it had to do . The State's lawyers did their job, and if the Government had had room to maneuver not to comply with the Strasbourg ruling it would have done so. In the opinion of national leaders of the PP, “Mari Mar Blanco supports Rajoy and Rajoy should take this into account when preparing the lists for the European elections.

Furthermore, members of the national executive of the PP assure that the party has been looking for a long time “for a woman with Mari Mar's profile for the first positions on the list for the May elections,” so her inclusion “is more than possible.” ”. Anger over Cospedal's statements The PP leaders to whom this confidentiality has had access assure that several senior officials of the party have privately acknowledged their discomfort with Cospedal's words after the whistles to the party representatives in the demonstration of the victims. The statements of the general secretary calling those who criticized the Government for the Strasbourg ruling “ignorant” have caused associations such as COVITE, Voices against Terrorism and ACFSEVT to request a rectification from the number two of the PP. In Genoa, some senior officials have also shown their anger at those words: “People ask that we be with the victims and not against them. We must set an example from the party and from the Government.” The list will not be decided until March Other PP sources, closer to María Dolores de Cospedal, describe the proposal to include Mayor Oreja and Mari Mar Blanco as “an internal movement of some leaders ” rather than as an option that is managed at the top of the party.
