Elvira Fernández falls off Mariano Rajoy's trip to the United States. At first it was planned that she would make the trip, but in the end the wife of the President of the Government will not accompany him at a moment as important as the visit to Obama in the White House. She made the decision herself these days, during the Christmas holidays. As confirmed by El Confidencial Digital in sources very close to the Rajoy-Fernández couple, ' Viri' will not travel to her husband this Sunday in Washington . Only the President of the Government will travel to the North American capital, with his most trusted team. Mariano Rajoy is scheduled to meet on Monday with the President of the United States, Barack Obama , in the Oval Office of the White House. The trip was planned 15 days ago Sources close to La Moncloa reveal to ECD that the Government's Presidency Protocol team had practically closed Rajoy's trip to the United States two weeks ago. A trip that also included the presence of Elvira Fernández . A meeting alone with the North American first lady, Michelle Obama , was even planned, coinciding with the moment in which both presidents were speaking privately. [OBJECT] Stay away from the spotlight However, Mariano Rajoy's wife has decided this week to give up the trip . People who know her well assure this confidentiality that Elvira Fernández thinks that her presence “contributes nothing” to this bilateral working visit.

She prefers to “stay away from the spotlight” because “she doesn't want any desire for prominence ,” they explain. He has even taken into account that, in the times of crisis that Spain is going through, this trip could be considered a plan “for  Phone Number List tourism . ” And she is not willing, because of her way of being, “to raise any dust.” The case of Sonsoles and Ana Botella Regarding the role that her predecessors played in the trips to the White House, who did accompany the President of the Government on the trip to Washington, Elvira Fernández is clear: she does not want to play the same role as the previous 'presidents'. He understands that the presence of Zapatero's wife and his daughters at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2010 had to do with the fact that it was a family convention to which they were expressly invited by the Obama couple. Regarding Ana Botella 's visit to the White House during Aznar's term, 'Viri' also takes into account the excellent personal relationship between the Aznars and the then North American president, George Bush. A summit that is accumulating delay The first private summit between Mariano Rajoy and Barack Obama was going to be held in Washington in September. However, the celebration of the UN General Assembly that same month, together with the US's discomfort with Spain over the energy reform approved by the Government and the new relations with Cuba, have delayed the meeting until this January. Rajoy's other agenda in the US As reported in ECD, in addition to his meeting with Obama, Rajoy is also scheduled to meet for lunch with directors of the American Chamber of Commerce .



Likewise, a meeting has been prepared with the members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose president, Democratic Senator Bob Menéndez , of Cuban origin, will present a decoration. The president will stay in a hotel The Chief Executive will stay in a hotel, because the Blair House residence for guests of the American president is under construction. In the program of events, he also plans to go to Arlington Cemetery to make a wreath. A meeting with some media is not ruled out , in addition to an appearance before the Spanish press.The survey, which was made public today by the observatory of the Socialist Party of the Valencian Country (PSPV), reflects that the PP would see its parliamentary representation in the regional Parliament reduced by around 20 seats. The PSPV, for its part, would also lose two and UPyD would enter with 7 seats. This is one of the first works that the PSPV has commissioned from the newly created ' Observatori' . The survey, carried out in the Valencian Community , explores the voting intention of citizens. And the results it shows are worrying for the PP. Specifically, the survey reflects that the Valencian Popular Party would lose - if the elections were held today - between 19 and 21 seats , thus going to have between 36 and 34 - currently it has 55. The PSPV would also drop in voting intention , losing between two and four seats. From the current 33 that it has, it would go to between 31 and 29. The formations that emerge strengthened from the survey are Compromis (would go from 6 to 14-16) and Esquerra Valenciana (from 5 to 11). On the other hand, the entry of UPyD in the courts with 7 seats is reflected .
