“The young operation is called Ayuso”, summary in the direction of the PP before the attraction that it arouses among younger voters
MADRID, 23 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Popular Party seeks to seduce more young voters with an eye on the regional and municipal elections next May and will organize a sectoral convention in Madrid on Monday focused on “listening to the main problems” that affect youth.
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, will be in charge of closing these sessions starting at 12:00 in the Matadero area.
Previously, the mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and the president of New Generations of the PP, the Basque deputy Bea Fanjul, will take the floor. Work tables will also be held on some of the issues that most concern this group, such as access to housing, job placement or mental health, according to Europa Press sources from the training.
In ‘Génova’ they are aware that Ayuso is their great asset to capture the youth vote as, as they underline, was seen in the last regional elections of 2021, since his candidacy managed to capture the young vote in the electoral barn of other parties and that in Previous elections had opted for left-wing formations or for Vox.
“The young operation is called Ayuso. It attracts them,” a member of the PP’s national leadership summarizes privately. In the leadership of the PP they consider that Feijóo and Ayuso together (he is 61 years old and she is 43 years old) can seduce young people of “different sensitivities” and that they all see themselves represented in the PP, according to party sources.
In the ranks of the PP, some of the measures that Ayuso has promoted these months also stand out, such as his ‘Young Solution Plan’ with which he intends to mobilize public land so that those under 35 can access a rent of less than 600 euros.
The PP wants this convention to deal with issues such as the employment of young people after university or professional training; their difficulties in accessing housing; the entrepreneurial capacity of this group or mental health, among other issues.
Feijó himself said on Friday – during the opening of another convention on ‘squatting’ held in Barcelona – that what they are looking for with the conferences focused on young people is for this group to convey to them “what their problems really are”.
The PP considers that the Government led by Pedro Sánchez is “punishing” young people, as well as the middle classes. He refuses to lower taxes on both and tries to compensate with “crumbs” and small aid, the general coordinator of the PP, Elías Bendodo, said a few days ago.
The Popular Party has indicated that its objective is that these sectoral conventions be a “speaker of society”, so that their conclusions serve to prepare the electoral program of Alberto Núñez Feijóo. “We are going to build proposals from the bottom up,” said Bendodo, insisting that these proposals will be “the seed” of Feijóo’s government program in the future.
