Party leader Mariano Rajoy is reported to want to avoid a debate and vote on the matter.
El País reports that the Partido Popular managers are trying to get agreement in the party on the subject of gay marriage, to avoid any debate or vote on the matter at the party’s congress which is about to get underway in Valencia on Friday. The subject was debated at length at the P.P. congress four years ago, and party leader Mariano Rajoy has given Ana Pastor the job of finding some pre-accord on the matter.
Some in the party approve of gay marriage while others are against following the position of the Catholic Church. The pro-marriage section are said to be more powerful than four years ago when they lost a policy vote.
Meanwhile it has been revealed that the President of the P.P. in the Basque Region, María San Gil, who recently announced her resignation, has decided not to attend the XVI party congress.
She made her decision after speaking of having fundamental differences on policy in the Basque region regarding talking to the nationalist parties and has also commented on having lost in the party’s national executive and its leader Mariano Rajoy.
