The until now spokesperson for the PP MEPs, Jaime Mayor Oreja , has decided to step aside from the political front line . The former Minister of the Interior has just joined the European University as a professor. As confirmed by El Confidencial Digital , Jaime Mayor Oreja has joined this center as an associate professor of the Faculty of Social Sciences . The still PP MEP has already started teaching his classes. Mayor Oreja will teach the following subjects to undergraduate students enrolled in Business Management and Creation, International Relations, Law and Criminology: -- Spanish prison system -- Transatlantic relations -- Crisis in Spain and Europe -- Communication in public life Its classes will be distributed among the three campuses that the European University has: Madrid, Valencia and the Canary Islands .The words of Felipe González betting on a government of concentration between the PP and the PSOE have caused a great wave in Ferraz. The national leadership, led by Rubalcaba, has publicly denied this possibility and its objective now is to close this debate as soon as possible. For this reason, the former president of the Government will not mention this issue in the campaign events in which he is going to participate. As PSOE leaders explain to El Confidencial Digital , Felipe González has confirmed, as of today, his participation in two major European rallies.
The former president's agenda "has not been altered" after his controversial interview on laSexta , where he opted for a government of concentration between the PP and the socialists. Members of the national executive of the Socialist Party have value Phone Number List d the opportunity to have González now after his intervention in Ana Pastor's program. But they have concluded that "he is a former president of the Government and he has to be in our campaign." However, they warn, " under no circumstances will they talk about a PP-PSOE pact at their rallies ." Official spokespersons for the PSOE take for granted the intervention of Felipe González in the meetings he had scheduled, and also his silence and discretion regarding what he said last Sunday on laSexta: “Of course he is not going to talk about a concentration government. He never does it, except when asked directly .” Two defenders of the pact at the central event in Barcelona González's first public appearance at a PSOE campaign event will take place next Wednesday, the 21st, in Barcelona . The Barcelona rally is considered by Ferraz as one of the party's "central events" for the European elections, since it will be attended by the head of the list for the elections, Elena Valenciano , and the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls , and the candidate of the European Socialist Party, Martin Schulz .
Precisely, the presence of the German, together with that of Felipe González, will make the Barcelona event become the meeting of two great socialist leaders who have opted, and publicly defend, forming coalitions of the left with the conservatives . As is known, Martin Schulz, of the German SPD, was elected candidate for the presidency of the European Commission just four months after his party sealed a government pact in Berlin with Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union , which had won in the elections but needed the support of the socialists. To this fact we must add some statements from Schulz himself two weeks ago, congratulating the Spanish PP Government for the reforms carried out in the last two years. From Genoa they were quick to use these words from the socialist to attack the PSOE in the middle of the electoral campaign. Rally with Susana Díaz in Granada The national leadership of the PSOE confirms to this confidentiality that González has confirmed participation in a second campaign event in Granada , together with Susana Díaz , the date of which has yet to be determined. The meeting will take place just a few days after the president of the Board categorically rejected in Seville the possibility that a PP-PSOE concentration government could occur in Spain. According to the Andalusian, the former president wanted to say that "we socialists put the interests of Spain ahead of those of the party." Leaders of the Andalusian PSOE consulted by ECD assure that Díaz and González “ have already talked about this proposal ” whh, of course, does not convince the president of the Board at all: “The day Felipe brought up the subject, Susana talked more about Betis and of Sevilla than that issue.
