Although the configuration of the lists for the Andalusian Parliament seems resolved, with the continuity of key figures, tensions persist within the formation. Some internal sectors are trying to condition the position of the provincial president, a situation that has already occurred in previous stages of the party.
These voices, although not always visible in public events, maintain considerable influence over internal decisions. There is speculation about their ability to anticipate strategic moves, such as the selection of candidacies for the capital, even before the provincial leadership officially pronounces.
“"Within the party, there are those who call for a more interventionist hand in the party's progress in the Holy Kingdom. Less letting the current spring of votes flow and more political engineering works."
The provincial leadership might be experiencing the so-called “imposter syndrome,” a feeling of doubt about one's own abilities and achievements, especially when surrounded by highly experienced figures. This situation is exacerbated by constant criticism from some members who question their authority.
The precedents in the capital also do not favor a calm atmosphere, especially after the loss of the mayoralty at a time of apparent party strength. This fact evidenced a lack of specific weight in the management of alliances, such as the one attempted with Jaén Merece Más.
Despite these internal dynamics, the Popular Party continues to enjoy a strong position in the polls. Attention to local groups, previously overlooked, and the power conferred by management, have helped consolidate its base, although the need for deeper renewal remains an open debate.
