Camps emphasises that it will be what party members 'deem appropriate': 'We will do what is necessary to keep the PP standing'

Francisco Camps, the former president of the Generalitat and the PPCV, emphasised that it will be what the party members 'deem appropriate'. 'We will do what is necessary to keep this party standing,' he remarked.

Camps made these comments during his speech this Saturday at Veles e Vents (Valencia), which gathered around 1,500 people according to the event organisers. Attendees included former president of the Castellón Provincial Council Carlos Fabra, former president of the Valencia Provincial Council and the PP of the province Alfonso Rus, former mayor of Alicante Sonia Castedo, former mayor of Genovés (Valencia) Emilio Llopis, and former vice president of the Castellón Provincial Council Vicent Aparici.

The former president reiterated that he is 'at the disposal of a party that intends to stand and look to the future': 'That means what it means, and we will do what we have to do.'

Similarly, in statements to the media after the event, he affirmed that 'everyone here today knows perfectly well that when you go with Camps, you go with the best PP, with the PP that wants to win by an absolute majority because I am very ambitious.'

In this regard, he stressed that his 'ambition' is for the PP 'to always govern and by an absolute majority'. 'The PP will win by an absolute majority in two years if this project that starts here, in Veles e Vents, is launched and leads towards the future,' he asserted.

Camps emphasised that 'decisions must be made in the service of the citizens' and indicated that the political formation 'is the common home of the centre-right'.

He also highlighted that 'everyone here has a single objective: for Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president of the PP, to be the next president of the Government'. Therefore, he addressed Feijóo and highlighted that 'when this party is strong, powerful, and wins in the Valencian Community by an absolute majority, the absolute majority of the Popular Party in Spain is guaranteed.'

'Alberto, if you want to be the president of the Government of Spain by an absolute majority, here you have extraordinary people who are ready from today to work so that this objective can be achieved,' he added.

In his opinion, Spain 'is going through a very bad time' and 'does not deserve' the current president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, as 'he relies on terrorists, coup plotters, communists, separatists, the worst of each house.'

'Spain deserves a PP government. We have to work so that this new government arrives with the majority support of the Spanish people,' he emphasised, while affirming that for this to happen, 'it is necessary for the PPCV to have the majority support of the Valencians.'

He also pointed to the party members and stated that 'I would not be here if it had not been for the fact that, during these very tough years of a very complex transition,' he felt 'affection, closeness, understanding, and support.'

'I could be quietly now enjoying the end of a tremendous process like the one I have lived through, but I want to continue getting involved with all of you, I want to make the Valencian Community great again, contribute something to the project of Spain and work. I am much more excited than at any moment of the stages I have lived,' said Camps, who remembered the former mayor of Valencia Rita Barberà, 'an extraordinary colleague, mayor, and person to whom the PP still has to give the definitive and absolute recognition.'

Camps highlighted that he sees the future 'better' and stated that 'there is a party, a discourse, the Valencian Community, and Spain for a long time.' 'That is why we are here,' he emphasised, while valuing the participation in this event of former 'popular' mayors and party members.

The former president asserted that he 'recognises the work of these last 30 years of PP governments, defends the current regional administration and the PP municipalities, but thinks every day that the future must be much better.'

In this regard, he specified that 'there is no nostalgia, there is commitment and a dream for the future'. In his opinion, the PPCV 'needs more strength, vitality, presence, character, power, a less complex discourse, and more desire to work every day for the present and future of this land'. 'I do not want a dormant PP. Neither the Valencians nor the party members nor the supporters deserve it. My party cannot be completely detached from reality,' he emphasised.

'I had the fortune to be your president of the PP and of the Generalitat, and to be with you every day on the street and make possible in many municipalities things that the mayors asked for,' he pointed out, while questioning 'if these things were possible before, why not now.'

He also noted that 'as long as the party does not recognise the great things the PP did in these 30 years of governments, it is not ready to ask people to trust again'. 'And since we are also the party, today we have come to recognise all of you for the extraordinary effort and work that was done throughout our lives,' he stressed.

'I was president of the Generalitat and president of the party. I dedicated a lot of time to the Popular Party because it is the supreme good on which the Government is based, on which the expectations of all Valencians are based. That is why today here, let no one be mistaken, we are talking about the Popular Party of the Valencian Community,' he insisted.

And he added: 'By the way, we are all here, the public officials are missing, and we also invite the public officials of the PP to come whenever they want, because the doors of this house are open to supporters and public officials, to everyone.'
