The PP confirms that Albiol will head the PP list in Barcelona in the 29-N elections

The Popular Party has confirmed this Saturday that the mayor of Badalona, ​​Xavier García Albiol, will be its candidate for Barcelona in the general elections on November 29.

Albiol, whose appointment was announced by this media a few days ago, is a transversal figure within the Catalan PP, since he has a voting border with various formations and is capable of fishing in other people's fishing grounds, as proven by his results in the municipal elections in recent years, in which even the independence movement has voted for him for his commitment to issues such as security, immigration or the fight against occupations.

In the PP they know that Catalonia can be decisive in the next general elections. Hence, they have opted for a profile that also in Girona and Lleida, beyond Barcelona, ​​helps to give a push and try to add one more seat, in the face of the threat from Vox.

In Badalona the electoral brand is him more than his party, and he is capable of short-circuiting other parties such as Vox or Junts, since he focuses on issues that affect all citizens and not on identity issues. That ability to add and unite is what has tipped the balance and has led to a bet on him for 29-N, although in May if nothing changes, he will be the candidate in his city again.

A few weeks ago, when the elections had not yet been called, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, starred in an event with Albiol in Badalona and this Sunday he will be in Catalonia again, with a great event in Barcelona.

The PP has confirmed that Albiol will be their number one for Barcelona as if it were a signing outside the party, since they point out that the Italian journalist specializing in the transfer market in the world of football, Fabrizio Romano, did not see it coming that the first mayor of Badalona would be the popular candidate. “A high-profile signing for a Spain that needs people with clear ideas,” says the message from the popular ones on the social network X.
