Spain's principal opposition Common Social gathering (PP) is ready to nominate its new chief following a well-publicised energy battle.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo is predicted to be named the brand new social gathering chief throughout a two-day convention within the southern metropolis of Seville.
The 60-year-old -- who has led the northwestern area of Galicia for 13 years -- is the one candidate in line to succeed outgoing social gathering chief Pablo Casado.
Casado stepped down from the position final month after an inside battle with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the social gathering's rising star and president of the Madrid area.
Díaz Ayuso was positioned underneath an inside investigation after accusing her social gathering chief of waging a smear marketing campaign towards her and her household.
Allegations surfaced that the Madrid president signed a contract for COVID-19 facemasks, on account of her brother's private relationship with an organization.
Díaz Ayuso immediately accused Casado -- and the social gathering -- of attempting to discredit her "personally and politically" and linking her to corruption "with out proof".
The European prosecutor's workplace can also be persevering with investigations into the allegations.
The Madrid President gained nice reputation throughout the COVID-19 pandemic for her stance on well being restrictions and the reopening of town's hospitality sector.
Casado in the meantime had achieved the social gathering's worst-ever electoral leads to the April 2019 legislative elections.
Two former PP prime ministers -- José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy -- are anticipated to talk at this week's convention in Seville.
For a lot of officers, Núñez Feijóo is a pure alternative for the PP's management given his political expertise.
The conservative social gathering is aiming to capitalise on social discontent inside Spain amid document inflation and return to energy for the primary time since 2018.
The nation's subsequent parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2023.
