PRC local officials advocate for an executive to manage succession affairs of Revilla
New Twist in Cantabria's PRC Leadership
Santander, Feb 1 (EFE) - A group of local leaders from Cantabria's Regionalist Party (PRC) has called for an executive meeting to discuss succession and potential modifications to the party statutes, including the possible separation of the roles of secretary general and election candidate.
Spotlight on Madrid's Political LandscapeAccording to regionalist sources, this request was made in a letter registered with the party and signed by over fifty local leaders from various points in Cantabria. The executive meeting is tentatively scheduled for next week.
The call for an executive meeting comes after it was revealed that regional deputy Guillermo Blanco, a former councilor and chief of staff to current secretary general Miguel Ángel Revilla, initiated contacts with local committees to potentially put himself forward as a candidate for the elections.
High Stakes GameBlanco stated that he had Revilla's approval to take this step, as Revilla expressed a desire to serve as secretary general for another two years, emphasizing unity within the party.
Rumors of an internal power struggle stirred when Revilla, during a recent regional parliament event, appeared to downplay any issues within his party, asserting confidence in the emergence of a "great candidate" if more than one arises.
Revilla also outlined his hope for a consensus candidate to be agreed upon, potentially paving the way for a unified party congress, scheduled for April or May.
Regional vice-secretary Javier López Marcano was quoted as urging calm and tranquility within the PRC, while simultaneously avoiding commenting on his own potential candidacy. Guillermo Blanco and deputy Paula Fernández declined to speak to the media.
Political Turmoil or Party Unity?The PRC, with roots deeply embedded in Cantabrian politics, has faced internal disagreements in the past. The recent developments could have significant consequences for the party's future.
