The leadership of the Popular Party faces the renewal of the leadership of its youth organization, New Generations of the Popular Party (NNGG), after the resignation of the until now secretary general, Carlo Giacomo Angrisano, a move that has accelerated internal conversations to designate his substitute.
The departure of the youth leader occurs at a particularly sensitive moment for the national leadership of the PP, which observes with concern the dispute for the youth vote with Vox and seeks to reinforce the role of NNGG as a political quarry and as an instrument of mobilization on social media.
According to party sources, the replacement does not yet have official date. The usual practice in the youth organization is for the appointment to be agreed upon between the national leadership of the PP and the presidency of NNGG and that, subsequently, it be ratified by the National Executive Committee.
In practice, if Genoa opts for a direct replacement, the new secretary general could be known in a matter of weeks. Another option would be to wait for a broader reorganization of the NNGG leadership, something that would delay the announcement.
The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and the national president of New Generations, Beatriz Fanjul, will be key in the decision.
This is how the pools are
Although there are no formal candidacies, within the party different profiles are being considered from the youth structure or from young institutional positions who could assume responsibilities in the leadership. Angrisano was 25 years old when he was appointed general secretary and 29 years old at the time of his resignation. If the PP follows tradition, the new general secretary of NNGG will be a leader of between 26 and 32 years old, with previous organic experience within the youth organization. Thus, among the names that appear in internal conversations stand out:
-
Ignacio Dancausa: current national deputy secretary of Organization of NNGG and one of the profiles with the most knowledge of the internal structure.
-
José Yepes: general secretary of NNGG Madrid.
-
Pablo González Pérez: leader linked to the Madrid youth organization and with organic experience.
-
Álvaro Martín Barreiro: young leader of the PP with internal projection.
-
Noelia Núñez: PP deputy in Congress and one of the most visible young profiles of the party.
-
Ángel Porras de la Fuente: president of NNGG Salamanca. His projection in Castilla y León and his presence in the regional structure of the party place him among the emerging profiles.
-
Marta González Román: general coordinator of NNGG in that community and councilwoman in Antequera. Her profile represents the Andalusian territorial weight within the youth organization.
The objective, to reinforce the youth vote
The handover comes in a context in which the PP leadership seeks to strengthen its connection with younger voters, a segment in which the party competes directly with Vox.
The strategy involves revitalizing New Generations as a space for youth political debate, a platform for recruiting militants, and a digital communication engine, especially on social media like Instagram or TikTok.
In this context, the profile of the new secretary general will combine, predictably, organic experience within NNGG, media presence and capacity for mobilization among young voters, a piece that the Génova leadership considers key for the electoral cycle that opens in the coming years.
