As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the Government of Mariano Rajoy has carried out a study to find out how much it would cost to remove the concrete blocks that were thrown last Wednesday, July 24, by a Gibraltar tugboat in the waters frequented by Spanish fishermen. The experts consulted, after analyzing the location and type of blocks, have concluded that the maximum cost of the operation would be 150,000 euros . An amount acceptable to any Administration, they acknowledge. According to sources consulted by ECD , the Government wants Gibraltar to carry out the removal of the blocks and assume the cost of the operation. In fact, it is the condition that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel García-Margallo, has imposed to negotiate the possible end of the conflict. However, the seriousness of the situation, which led the fishermen of Algeciras and La Línea to demonstrate last Sunday in the vicinity of Gibraltar, may lead to the Government itself being the one to remove the blocks from the sea with its corresponding cost. The Executive is willing to do so so that fishermen can return to fishing completely normally.
As El Confidencial Digital has learned , intermediate officials of the PP are exchanging calls these days , in the middle of the summer rest period, to gather more information about this supposed deep remodeling at the top of the party. The news Special Database published by ABC, later replicated in other national newspapers and commented on in political debates on television, has caught the majority of leaders outside their office in Genoa. The colleagues who are on 'guard' in August have responded with a message that is initially reassuring: “ None of that has been talked about here .” Cospedal, at the center of suspicions In the party apparatus it is taken for granted that the information published by ABC " is an interested leak ", that what is stated in it does not correspond to Mariano Rajoy's intentions, and that, therefore, it will not be translated into transcendental changes in the national leadership. As for who could be behind the leak, the intermediate positions of the PP agree in pointing to the number two, the general secretary María Dolores de Cospedal. Party leaders at the national level with whom ECD has contacted, all with organic positions in the PP executive and with an office in Genoa, maintain that the general secretary " has started a personal promotion campaign ", and for this she is using the media.
These sources emphasize that Cospedal is the only one who came out well from the ABC information, where special emphasis was placed on the fact that she has Rajoy's full trust: “ It was implied that she is immovable in Genoa , and that all Others can leave the national leadership.” “He's going for Javier Arenas” The PP leaders with whom this confidentiality has spoken add one more argument, to justify their suspicions about Cospedal: “The news of the remodeling shamelessly opened the exit door of the party for Javier Arenas .” Specifically, it implied that Arenas has every chance to leave the vice-secretary of the party, for having agreed with Luis Bárcenas on the conditions of the former treasurer's dismissal, something that however "Rajoy himself knew about", as has been reported . on these pages . According to the sources consulted, “ Javier has not done anything to have to fire him , and Cospedal knows it. But he has seen the opportunity to attack him and force his departure from the executive. The conclusion of intermediate party officials is that the general secretary "is going after Javier Arenas, with his media campaign, to gain full control of the party.
