Emiliano García-Page has stopped rejecting his possible candidacy for the PSOE primaries, now ensuring that “I am not ruling out anything.” José Bono, who has been trying to convince him for months. The former minister has also approached Joan Mesquida to join his forces with the mayor of Toledo. “It's not closed at all. "I don't rule out anything." With these words, Page responded, at an informative breakfast in which he was supported by Susana Díaz , to a question about the possibilities of running for the PSOE primaries. The mayor of Toledo, who until now stated that he was only thinking about the presidency of Castilla-La Mancha, thus took a step forward. Well, according to what they tell El Confidencial Digital , this change of speech by the general secretary of the PSOE from La Mancha has been greatly influenced by the insistence of José Bono , who has been convincing him for months to run as the next head of the party's list for the general elections. The former Minister of Defense, who does not support Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba as the leader that the PSOE needs, began his 'offensive' at the end of the summer, when he summoned Page himself and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to El Salobre (Albacete)  to speak of the candidacy of the mayor of Toledo to the party primaries.

Since then, according to the sources consulted, Bono has held more meetings with García-Page, in which he has insisted on his possibilities in the face of the internal elections in the PSOE. The former minister, who still has a lot of influence in several  Phone Number List party federations , has guaranteed him the support of a large number of intermediate positions in the party. Look for an agreement with Joan Mesquida In parallel to these conversations with Emiliano García-Page, José Bono has also approached Joan Mesquida , with whom he has a good relationship, to become interested in the 'third way' proposed by the former director of the Police and the Civil Guard. Bono himself recently participated in the presentation of Mesquida's book , in which there is no reference to Zapatero, and has shown, privately, his "interest" in the Balearic politician's proposals. The former Minister of Defense, according to the sources consulted, has already sounded out Mesquida about the possibility of announcing his candidacy for the PSOE primaries to, just before the process, join Emiliano García-Page's project and form a coalition.



In Bono's opinion, this 'tweezer' would take away many votes from other candidates for the benefit of the mayor of Toledo. People close to the former director of the Police and the Civil Guard consulted by ECD assure that Mesquida “does not want to talk about primaries now,” although they do not deny these contacts with José Bono.Catalan businessmen opposed to Artur Mas' sovereignty challenge have decided to act and speak out. Some have received pressure and threats of a plot for rejecting the independence process, but they have preferred not to remain silent. This is the case of José Luis Bonet, president of Freixenet, who defended the union of Catalonia in Spain at the regional convention of the PP. On January 25, at the Convention that the Catalan PP held in Barcelona, ​​Bonet made clear, before everyone present, what his position is and that of many businessmen with respect to the Generalitat's breakup project: “The relationship is so close With the rest of Spain, we are so one that it will be very difficult to divide us. Catalonia is an essential part of Spain . ” These words, which he made in the presence of Mariano Rajoy, have cost the president of Freixenet attacks and threats of boycott by pro-independence sectors , who already tried to prevent, through messages and through social networks, his intervention in the event.
