Former President of the State of Valenciana Francisco Campes, immersed in his race to regain control of the Popular Party in the Valencian Community and with the next meeting with members and sympathizers of the Popular Party scheduled for next December 4, does not waste every opportunity in which he has the opportunity to speak out to defend his character and demand the convening of a regional congress of his party. The last occasion was on Monday in the space directed by Susana Grisso on Antena 3, Espejo Público.
The former popular leader has admitted that he wants to lead the PPP again in order to “revitalize” it, and repeated the slogan that he has been insisting on lately, which is nothing other than the restoration of a “large majority” in the face of the municipal and regional elections in 2027 (the camps at the beginning of the century won at the ballot boxes by repeated absolute majorities – on three occasions – until he left office after his trial in the case in which the jury found him not guilty). Regarding the person who should head the Popular Party’s list for possible elections, in the event that the Popular Party and Vox do not agree on appointing a president until 2027, Camps confirmed: “If there are elections, I imagine that there will be preliminary elections to choose the candidate.”
Camps reiterated once again that he would like “to have the opportunity to lead the party again and, from there, prepare for the regional and municipal elections of 2027”, while reiterating that the PP must “recover all the power it had at some point” in Spain and stressing that, to achieve this, it “must be central again in the territory in the case of the Valencian Community”.
The former president is confident that the regional congress he has been demanding for months will be held in the spring: “It would be good to take the next steps to prepare for the municipal and regional campaigns.”
Camps was also asked about a poll indicating that 43% of Popular Party voters in the Valencian region considered that their time had already passed, to which he responded by emphasizing that “the other 60% did not”, so “it’s not so bad.”
In this sense, he pointed out that he has been living in a “very complicated” personal situation for 15 years, immersed in many judicial cases from which he emerged unscathed, a period during which he did not hold any membership leadership or any public position. Despite this, “more than half of the PP voters still believe that I have a future chance not only to rally the party but also return to the PP the absolute majority that I remember having in 2003, 2007 and 2011,” because “the voters who left us should return to the PP.”
Regarding whether he had spoken with the leader of the People’s Party, Alberto Núñez Viejo, about this idea, he recalled that on May 29, after the latest judicial acquittals, he expressed his intention to return to the front line and the response was, “We will talk.”
