Feijóo praises Villacís and sees it as "logical" for him to talk to Almeida if he wants to go with the PP, which already has 166 Cs charges

"I do have a good concept of Begoña Villacís," he says, adding that he likes "good people" to join the Popular Party

MADRID, 1 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has assured this Wednesday that he has a "good concept" of the deputy mayor of Madrid, Begoña Villacís, and has indicated that the "logical" thing is that he speak with the mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez- Almeida, if he wants to join the PP lists in the May elections. Having said this, he recalled that there are already 166 charges from the orange party that have entered the Popular Party.

"I like good people to enter my party. Of course we have good people in the party, but we can always have more. The other day we did a recount and, indeed, there are 166 organic Cs positions that have voluntarily entered form part of our party", Feijóo revealed in an interview on Onda Cero, which has been collected by Europa Press.

Thus, the president of the PP has indicated that there are leaders of Ciudadanos who are on the lists of his formation, others who are in the Andalusian government of Juanma Moreno and others in the Madrid one led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and "it works well". As he added, the PP is a "centro-reformist" party and "Cs was too", so "everything seems that things can come together."

In the specific case of Villacís, he has indicated that they have to speak with "comrades from Madrid in the event that they are considering including her on the list of the Madrid City Council." "The logical thing is that Begoña Villacís and Mr. Almeida talk about whether or not she is interested in doing this," she declared.

Of course, the leader of the PP has indicated that "it is also true" that at this time Villacís has not told them that he wants to join the Popular Party. "At least he hasn't told me," he has confessed. Asked if he has transferred it to the general coordinator of the PP, Elías Bendodo, with whom he met a week ago, he has indicated that he believes that neither because Bendodo has not told him "this."

In any case, he has said that it is "surprising" that it is news that political parties speak when before the news was that they did not speak. "I have spoken with the whole world and with more people than people think, which is logical and natural," she declared.

Feijóo has affirmed that he does have "a good opinion of Begoña Villacís", that she has been "a good deputy mayor and has been loyal". "While her colleagues in the Community of Madrid were making the motion of no confidence agreed with the PSOE, the deputy mayor in Madrid did not make it and gave stability to the Madrid city council during all the years of this legislature," he stated. In his opinion, these records are "solid enough" for him to have a "good opinion" of Villacís.

When asked if he would like to join the PP, Feijóo has acknowledged that he likes "good people" to join the PP and that, although they have "good people" in the Popular Party, "they can always have more". .
