This fact was also a source of joke for the

Politicians and businessmen present there: “merkel reviews us, and not only in the economy ,” someone commented sarcastically.As el confidencial digital has learned from high-level socialist sources, the minister of defense is firmly willing to present a candidacy, headed by her, in the psoe primaries where the candidate for president of the government will be decided. She has the “ maximum will ” to do it. And, above all, she sees herself with a chance of defeating her rivals. Carme chacón boasts, in her closest environment, that, to succeed with this candidacy, she will be able to 'sell' to the party what she herself calls her “ commitment to socialism .” chacón will argue that she is a leader who “ gets involved ” and “ takes risks ” in the attempt to rejuvenate the psoe. As ecd has heard, her team affirms that, given the difficult situation of the party and the difficulties in winning the next elections, she could choose to reserve herself and wait for “better times”; but that, precisely because of that “commitment”, she gets involved with the party. Such an argument would be her letter of introduction to the militancy.



Those next to him explain: “due to his age, he still has many years ahead of him, and there would be no need to present himself now.” but chacón wants to be labeled as a “ responsible ” socialist, that she is risking it for her party. What does Special Database the decision depend on? Carme chacón will present her candidacy provided that two circumstances previously occur : -- that zapatero resigns . Chacón will never fight in a primary against his political mentor, josé luis rodríguez zapatero. The decision to run is therefore linked to the president giving up a third nomination. -- may he find empathy in the game . The defense minister's plan is to personally sound out the party before presenting the candidacy. If she finds that she has a sufficient number of supports (and endorsements), she will “without a doubt” run. Rubalcaba, his great rival chacón considers that his great rival in those primaries will be the first vice president, alfredo pérez rubalcaba . In the minister's environment, and she herself agrees with that opinion, he is considered a “very good politician.” “he is infallible ,” they say of him. Furthermore, they think that rubalcaba “will have a lot of support” in the primaries. Both because of his abilities and career, as well as “ because of the fear that he generates ” in some party cadres.







They consider that they will align themselves with rubalcaba josé bono , who presented a candidacy in the 2000 congress and was nine votes behind zapatero, and javier solana , who was on the verge of being a candidate in 1995, when felipe gonzález was stalked by corruption cases. . I would beat rajoy carme chacón is convinced that she can face rubalcaba and beat him , according to close sources to which ecd has had access. In the minister's circle, a survey carried out by the newspaper público days ago is positively valued. The newspaper, with which she has a good relationship through her husband, miguel barroso, published a poll that practically equals rubalcaba and gives her a chance of victory over rajoy. These are the data: -- the three most notable possible socialist candidates, rubalcaba, chacón and blanco, were confronted by rajoy, asking who would be preferred as president. -- rubalcaba and chacón were preferred to rajoy due to clear differences: the vice president, by seventeen points (47.7% to 30.7%), and the minister of defense, by seven (39.6% to 32.6%). . -- josé blanco lost in that confrontation with the leader of the pp by five points (29.9% to 34.8%). That is, both chacón and rubalcaba would defeat mariano rajoy . White wouldn't get it.
