UPN Congress: change of direction or continuity?
As proposed by UPN or a member of the regionalist party of the Union of Navarra, he has been away from power for many years. And not only that: it is immersed in nothing, the PP and Vox, without forgetting the members of the 6F association with whom it shares travel. Out of power and in nothing, that brand.
Barcina was, as another militant of the UPN or of the People of Navarra Elkarrekin, the last president of the Foral Community. Despite the droughts we have suffered lately, it has rained since then. Mr Esparza took the baton in the party, because he has not achieved government leadership and spoiler will not succeed.
Perhaps the last ten years of UPN deserved more than four lines, probably. But we will focus on the congress to be held on April 28. I read the concept of a longabist to Ekhi Erremunerdegi, of Berria, and to quote the proposal of another UPN partner, or Elkarrekin for the People of Navarra, we will use the longabist looking to the future.
Esparza does not get the presidency and is not close. That is why, after three legislatures, it has decided not to reintroduce itself as a candidate, but it will not de facto stop politics, because it will oppose the Chivite government. Meanwhile, Chivit is delighted with this news.
It is mainly opposed to two factors, firstly it has no capacity to reach agreements. Secondly, the remoteness of power entails political distress, and the large number of voters have opted for other parties such as the PP or the Vox
As Esparza leaves the leadership of the party, the two players who guide the future of UPN must be mentioned. Ibarrola and Toquero, former mayor of Pamplona and mayor of Tudela respectively. Initially, Toquero turned deaf ears to Ibarrola’s offer, hoping he would take the lead. However, Toquero accepted the offer without being able to obtain the necessary protections. Thus, Ibarrola and Toquero presented a joint candidacy to lead the UPN, avoiding competition or internal cracks. Ibarrola will be vice-president, so Toquero will be a candidate for vice-president.
This agreement, on the other hand, has explained the secrets between the members of the party. The joint candidature meant that the vote was not taken at the congress, and that the one who opposed that candidature could not show it. On the contrary, the Directorate makes an amendment, which, although a single application, is put to the vote so that whoever is against can appear. Manoeuvre in the face of the anger that has occurred. UPN lost quite a few members as a result of the internal crisis created by the Sayas-Adanero pair, which will not result in further losses of members from joining the division. UPN just needed that.
In retrospect, UPN has sought the recovery of the highest office of the Palacio de Navarra: the creation of the Navarra Suma coalition or the support for the Labour Reform (Mr. Casero frustrated the move to the couple Sayas-Adanero, unfortunately it was). Thus, congress plays a fundamental role in the future of the regionalist party: they will have to set a political strategy that responds to what, with whom and for what.
UPN has an important factor in its favour: it is still the party that gets the most votes. That is, it is protected by a solid social mass, but far from being a hegemonic part of the past. It is mainly opposed to two factors, firstly it has no capacity to reach agreements. Secondly, the remoteness of power entails political distress, and the large number of voters have opted for other parties such as the PP or the Vox.
Once the diagnosis is made, changes should occur. Sincerely, and for the party leaders to be Ibarrola and Toquero, no major changes are expected. Maybe the shapes get even worse. Slips in that direction. And they don't have the opportunity to stumble, to ask the members of Alavesa Unit.
