The People's Party was a 1989 re-foundation of [[People's Alliance (Spain)|People's Alliance]] (AP), a party led by former minister [[Manuel Fraga Iribarne|Manuel Fraga]]. It was founded in 1976 as alliance of post-Francoist proto-parties. The new party combined the conservative [[People's Alliance (Spain)|AP]] with several small Christian democratic and [[Liberalism|liberal]] parties (the party calling this fusion of views "the Reformist Centre"). In 2002, Manuel Fraga received the honorary title of "Founding Chairman". The party's youth organisation is [[New Generations of the People's Party (Spain)|New Generations of the People's Party of Spain]] (NNGG).

The PP is a member of the centre-right [[European People's Party]] (EPP), and in the [[European Parliament]] its 16 [[Member of the European Parliament|MEPs]] sit in the [[European People's Party (European Parliament group)|EPP Group]]. The PP is also a member of the [[Centrist Democrat International]] and the [[International Democracy Union]]. The PP was also one of the founding organisations of the Budapest-based [[Robert Schuman Institute]] for Developing Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe.

On 24 May 2018, the [[Audiencia Nacional (Spain)|National Court]] found that the PP profited from the illegal kickbacks-for-contracts scheme of the [[Gürtel case]], confirming the existence of an illegal accounting and financing structure that ran in parallel with the party's official one since the party's foundation in 1989; the court ruled that the PP helped establish "a genuine and effective system of institutional corruption through the manipulation of central, autonomous and local public procurement".<ref>{{cite news |last=Jones |first=Sam |date=24 May 2018 |title=Court finds Spain's ruling party benefited from bribery scheme |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/24/court-finds-spain-ruling-party-pp-benefited-bribery-luis-barcenas |work=The Guardian|access-date=25 May 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Vázquez |first=Ángeles |date=24 May 2018 |title=El PP y Correa tejieron 'un sistema de corrupción institucional', según la Audiencia |url=https://www.elperiodico.com/es/politica/20180524/caso-gurtel-sentencia-6836644 |language=es |work=El Periódico de Catalunya |access-date=25 May 2018}}</ref> This prompted a [[2018 vote of no confidence in the government of Mariano Rajoy|no confidence vote]] on [[Mariano Rajoy]]'s government, which was brought down on 1 June 2018 in the first successful no-confidence motion since the [[Spanish transition to democracy]].<ref>{{cite news|website=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/world/europe/spain-mariano-rajoy-no-confidence.html|title=Mariano Rajoy Ousted in Spanish No-Confidence Vote|date=June 2018|last1=Minder|first1=Raphael}}</ref> On 5 June 2018, Rajoy announced his resignation as PP leader.<ref>{{Cite news|date=5 June 2018|url=http://www.elmundo.es/espana/2018/06/05/5b16558ce2704ec8278b45de.html|title=Rajoy se va: 'Es lo mejor para mí, para el PP y para España' |work=El Mundo|language=es|access-date=5 June 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=5 June 2018|url=https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2018-06-05/rajoy-comite-ejecutivo-partido-popular-congreso-sanchez_1574137/|title=Rajoy dimite como presidente del PP: 'Es lo mejor para mí, para el partido y para España' |work=El Confidencial|language=es|access-date=5 June 2018}}</ref>

On 21 July 2018, [[Pablo Casado]] was elected as the new leader of the PP.

==History== ===Political genealogy=== {{Main|People's Alliance (Spain)}}

[[File:(Fraga) Felipe González recibe al presidente de Alianza Popular (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|Fraga in 1983]] The party has its roots in the People's Alliance founded on 9 October 1976, by former [[Francoist Spain|Francoist]] minister [[Manuel Fraga]]. Although Fraga was a member of the reformist faction of the Franco regime, he supported an extremely gradual transition to democracy. However, he badly underestimated the public's distaste for Francoism. Additionally, while he attempted to convey a reformist image, the large number of former Francoists in the party led the public to perceive it as both [[reactionary]] and [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]]. In the June [[1977 Spanish general election|1977 general election]], the AP garnered only 8.3 percent of the vote, putting it in fourth place.

In the months following the 1977 elections, dissent erupted within the AP over constitutional issues that arose as the draft document was being formulated. Fraga had wanted from the beginning to brand the party as a traditional European conservative party, and wanted to move the AP toward the political centre in order to form a larger [[centre-right]] party. Fraga's wing won the struggle, prompting most of the disenchanted reactionaries to leave the party. The AP then joined with other moderate conservatives to form the [[Democratic Coalition (Spain)|Democratic Coalition]] (''Coalición Democrática,'' CD).

It was hoped that this new coalition would capture the support of those who had voted for the [[Union of the Democratic Centre (Spain)|Union of the Democratic Centre]] (UCD) in 1977, but who had become disenchanted with the [[Adolfo Suárez]] government. In the March [[1979 Spanish general election|1979 general election]], however, the CD received 6.1 percent of the vote, again finishing a distant fourth.

At the AP's Second Party Congress in December 1979, party leaders re-assessed their involvement in the CD. Many felt that the creation of the coalition had merely confused the voters, and they sought to emphasise the AP's independent identity. Fraga resumed control of the party, and the political resolutions adopted by the party congress reaffirmed the conservative orientation of the AP.

In the early 1980s, Fraga succeeded in rallying the various components of the right around his leadership. He was aided in his efforts to revive the AP by the increasing disintegration of the UCD. In the general elections held in October 1982, the AP gained votes both from previous UCD supporters and from the [[Far-right politics|far right]]. It became the major opposition party to the [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party]], securing 25.4 percent of the popular vote. Whereas the AP's parliamentary representation had dropped to nine seats in 1979, the party allied itself with the small Christian democratic [[People's Democratic Party (Spain)|People's Democratic Party]] (PDP) and won 106 seats in 1982.

The increased strength of the AP was further evidenced in the municipal and regional elections held in May 1983, when the party drew 26 percent of the vote. A significant portion of the electorate appeared to support the AP's emphasis on [[Law and order (politics)|law and order]] as well as its pro-business policies. [[File:Sede del Partido Popular (cropped).jpg|thumb|200px|upright|[[Headquarters of the People's Party (Spain)|Headquarters]] on [[Calle de Génova]] in Madrid. As the party seat, the term Génova is often used as a [[metonym]] for the party leadership.]]

Subsequent political developments belied the party's aspirations to continue increasing its base of support. Prior to the June 1986 elections, the AP joined forces with the PDP and the [[Liberal Party (Spain, 1976–1989)|Liberal Party]] (PL) to form the [[People's Coalition (Spain)|People's Coalition]] (CP), in another attempt to expand its constituency to include the centre of the political spectrum. The coalition called for stronger measures against terrorism, for more [[privatization|privatisation]], and for a reduction in public spending and in taxes. The CP failed to increase its share of the vote in the 1986 elections, however, and it soon began to disintegrate.

When regional elections in late 1986 resulted in further losses for the coalition, Fraga resigned as AP chairman, although he retained his parliamentary seat. At the party congress in February 1987, [[Antonio Hernández Mancha]] was chosen to head the AP, declaring that under his leadership the AP would become a "modern right-wing European party". But Hernández Mancha lacked political experience at the national level, and the party continued to decline. When support for the AP plummeted in the municipal and regional elections held in June 1987, it was clear that it would be overtaken as major opposition party by Suárez's [[Democratic and Social Centre (Spain)|Democratic and Social Centre]] (CDS).

After the resignation of Manuel Fraga and the successive victories of the [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party]] (PSOE) in the [[1982 Spanish general election|general election of 1982]] and [[1986 Spanish general election|1986 general election]], the Popular Alliance entered a period of deep crisis. Fraga then took the reins and, at the Congress of January 1989, the constituent parties of the CP were folded into a new party, the People's Party. While the AP was the nucleus of the merged party, the PP tried to bill itself as a more moderate party than the AP. Fraga was the first chairman of the party, with Francisco Álvarez Cascos as the secretary general.

=== Refoundation === ====Aznar years (1989–2004)==== {{Main|José María Aznar}}

[[File:Jose Maria Aznar DF-SD-05-00920.jpg|thumb|180px|[[José María Aznar]]]] [[File:Símbolo electoral PP 1989.svg|thumb|left|upright|Electoral logo for the 1989 election]] On 4 September 1989, and at the suggestion of Fraga himself, [[José María Aznar]] (then premier of the Autonomous Region of [[Castile and León]]) was named the party's candidate for [[Prime Minister of Spain]] at the general elections. In April 1990, Aznar became chairman of the party. Fraga would later be named Founding Chairman of the People's Party.

The PP joined the [[European People's Party]] in 1991.<ref name="JansenHecke2011">{{cite book|author1=Thomas Jansen|author2=Steven Van Hecke|title=At Europe's Service: The Origins and Evolution of the European People's Party|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kXEA8XGdEb8C&pg=PA51|year= 2011|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=978-3-642-19414-6|page=51}}</ref>

The PP became the largest party for the first time in 1996, and Aznar became Prime Minister with the support of the [[Basque Nationalist Party]], the [[Catalonia|Catalan]] [[Convergence and Union]] and the [[Canarian Coalition]]. In the 2000 elections, the PP gained an [[absolute majority]].

====Rajoy years (2004–2018)==== [[Image:Mariano Rajoy en Bilbao2.png|thumb|upright|[[Mariano Rajoy]] during a speech in [[Bilbao]]]] In August 2003, [[Mariano Rajoy]] was appointed Secretary General by Aznar. Thus, Rajoy became the party's candidate for Prime Minister in the [[2004 Spanish general election|2004 general election]], held three days after the [[11 March 2004 Madrid train bombings]], and which Rajoy lost by a big margin to [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party]] (PSOE) leader [[José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero]].

The PP under [[Mariano Rajoy]] opposed the PSOE government after the PP lost the [[2004 Spanish general election|general election in 2004]], arguing that this victory was influenced by the [[2004 Madrid train bombings|Madrid bombings]] of 11 March 2004. At a national level, its political strategy has followed two main axes, both linked to Spain's delicate regional politics: Firstly, opposing further administrative devolution to Catalonia by means of the newly approved "Estatut" or Statute of Catalonia that lays out the powers of the Catalan regional government. Secondly, opposition to political negotiations with the Basque separatist organisation [[ETA (separatist group)|ETA]].

The People's Party has supported the Association of Victims of Terrorism ([[Asociación de Víctimas del Terrorismo|AVT]]) with respect to the Government's actions concerning ETA's ceasefire, and was able to mobilise hundreds of thousands of people in demonstrations against Government policies that, in its opinion, would result in [[concession (politics)|political concessions]] to ETA. Nevertheless, the end of the ceasefire in December 2006 ended prospects for government negotiations with ETA.

The prospect of increased demands for autonomy in the programs of Catalan and Basque parties, and Zapatero's alleged favouring of them, became a focus for the party's campaign for the [[2008 Spanish general election|March 2008 general election]]. [[Lehendakari|Basque President]] [[Juan José Ibarretxe]]'s proposal for a unilateral referendum for the solution of the [[Basque Conflict]] was another important issue.

The People's Party under Rajoy has an increasingly patriotic, or [[nationalism|nationalist]],{{citation needed|date=August 2019}} element to it, appealing to the sense of "Spanishness" and making strong use of national symbols such as the [[Flag of Spain|Spanish flag]]. Prior to the national celebrations of Spanish Heritage Day, Rajoy made a speech asking Spaniards to "privately or publicly" display their pride in their nation and to honor their flag, an action which received some criticism from many political groups of the Congress. [[Image:Manifestación del 10 de marzo de 2007.jpg|thumb|PP demonstration in 2007 in opposition to releasing an [[ETA (separatist group)|ETA]] member from prison]]

=====2008 elections and convention===== [[File:People's Party (Spain) Logo (2008-2015).svg|thumb|left|200px|2008–2015 party logo]] On 9 March 2008, Spain held a general election, with both main parties led by the same candidates who competed in 2004: 154 People's Party MPs were elected, up six on the previous election. However, the failure to close the gap with the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (which increased its number of MPs by five) provoked a party crisis, in which some internal groups and supportive media questioned the leadership of Rajoy, who was said to be close to resigning.

After an impasse of three days, he decided to stay, and summoned a Party Convention to be held in June 2008 in Valencia. Speculation about alternative candidates erupted in the media, with discussion of the possible candidacies of [[Madrid]] Mayor [[Alberto Ruíz Gallardón]] and [[Madrid (autonomous community)|Madrid autonomous community]] Premier [[Esperanza Aguirre]] creating a national debate, calls for support and opposition from the media, etc.

In the end, neither one stood, with Gallardón explicitly backing Rajoy and Aguirre refusing to comment on the issue. The only politician who explicitly expressed his intention to stand was [[Juan Costa]], who had been a minister under Aznar, but he was unable to garner the 20% support required to stand in the election because of the support Rajoy had received prior to his nomination. At the convention, [[Mariano Rajoy]] was re-elected chairman with 79% of the vote, and in order to "refresh the negative public image of the party", which had been a major factor in the electoral defeat, its leadership was controversially renewed with young people, replacing a significant number of politicians from the Aznar era.

Among the latter, most resigned of their own accord to make room for the next generation, like the PP Spokesman in the Congress of Deputies [[Eduardo Zaplana]], replaced by [[Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría]]; and the party Secretary-General [[Ángel Acebes]], whose office was taken by [[María Dolores de Cospedal]].{{efn|Also, [[María del Mar Blanco]], sister of the PP councilor [[Miguel Ángel Blanco]] (who was assassinated by ETA in 1997), was elected into the new leadership to represent the Association of Victims of Terrorism.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}}}}

The convention also saw significant reforms to the Party Statutes, including the reform of election to the office of Party Chairperson, which was to be open to more competition; and linking that office to the party candidacy in the general elections, etc. [[María San Gil]], Chairwoman of the Basque PP, left the party (even resigning from her [[Basque Parliament]] seat) over disagreements on the party policies towards regional nationalisms in Spain, and particularly over the deletion of a direct reference to the [[Basque Nationalist Party]] accusing them of being too passive and "contemptuous" regarding the armed Basque group ETA. Most PP members rallied behind San Gil at first, but when it became clear that her decision was final the national leadership called a regional party election, in which [[Antonio Basagoiti]] was chosen as the new Basque PP leader.

[[File:People's Party (Spain) Logo.svg|thumb|200px|2015–2019 party logo]] The PP won a clear victory in the [[2011 Spanish general election|2011 general elections]], ousting the PSOE from government. With 44.62% of the votes, the conservatives won 186 seats in the ''Congreso de los Diputados'', the biggest victory they have ever had. On the other hand, the centre-left PSOE suffered a huge defeat, losing 59 MPs. The PP, under Mariano Rajoy's leadership, returned to power after 7 years of opposition.

In May 2018, the [[Audiencia Nacional]] declared the PP as guilty part "on a lucrative basis" in the [[Gürtel case|Gürtel corruption scheme]], understanding the profited from the corruption scheme "to the detriment of the State's interests".<ref>{{Cite journal|journal=[[El Periódico de Catalunya|El Periódico]]|date=24 May 2018|url=https://www.elperiodico.com/es/politica/20180524/el-pp-primer-partido-condenado-por-|title=El PP, primer partido en el Gobierno condenado por corrupción}}</ref> This led to a [[2018 vote of no confidence in the government of Mariano Rajoy|motion of no confidence]] to the prime minister Mariano Rajoy, led by socialist leader [[Pedro Sánchez]], which eventually succeeded, thus forcing Rajoy to quit his position, and ultimately resign as the party's leader. His substitute [[2018 People's Party (Spain) leadership election|would be determined in July 2018]].

====Leadership of Casado (2018–2022)==== [[Pablo Casado]]'s victory in the [[2018 People's Party (Spain) leadership election|July 2018 PP leadership election]] was considered a party swing towards the right.<ref>{{cite news |date=21 July 2018 |title=Spain: People's Party picks Pablo Casado as new leader |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/07/spain-people-party-picks-pablo-casado-leader-180721131002371.html |publisher=Al Jazeera|access-date=22 July 2018}}</ref>

Polls indicated a continual decline in support for the PP in the lead-up to the [[April 2019 Spanish general election|April 2019 general election]]. Ultimately, the party achieved the worst result in its history, winning just 16.7% of the national vote – a decline of almost 16% from the 2016 election – and losing over half its seats. Though becoming only the second largest party in the Congress of Deputies, it held almost half as many seats as first placed PSOE, and was less than a single percentage point and just nine seats ahead of third placed Ciudadanos.<ref>{{cite news|date=29 April 2019|title=Spanish election: Socialists ahead without a majority as far-right party makes gains|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-29/spanish-election:-socialists-ahead-as-far-right-make-gains/11053254|publisher=ABC News|access-date=1 May 2019}}</ref> Casado refused to resign following the poor result, and proposed a sudden U-turn of the party back into the moderate centre-right under pressure from party regional leaders one month ahead of the [[2019 Spanish regional elections|regional]] and [[2019 Spanish local elections|local elections]].<ref>{{cite news |date=28 April 2019 |title=Casado hunde al PP con el peor resultado de su historia y no dimite a un mes de las autonómicas y municipales |language=es |newspaper=eldiario.es |url=https://www.eldiario.es/politica/Casado-PP-resultado-autonomicas-municipales_0_893461244.html |access-date=4 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=4 May 2019 |title=Feijóo y Casado escenifican en Galicia el viraje al centro del PP: "Aquí cabemos todos" |language=es |newspaper=El Confidencial |url=https://www.elconfidencial.com/elecciones-municipales-y-autonomicas/2019-05-04/feijoo-y-casado-escenifican-en-galicia-el-viraje-al-centro-del-pp_1981538/ |access-date=4 May 2019}}</ref>

The party enjoyed a partial revival in [[2019 European Parliament election in Spain|2019 European elections]], winning 20.15% of votes. The party increased its support in the [[November 2019 Spanish general election|November 2019 election]], scoring 20.82% of votes and electing 89 deputies and 83 senators.

The following day, President Pablo Casado stated on the [[Cadena COPE]] radio channel that Díaz Ayuso should provide all the necessary documentation to clear doubts about his honorability, questioning at the same time his honesty by stating whether "it is logical to award a commission to your brother in April 2020, when 700 people were dying in Spain due to the pandemic".<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-02-18 |title=Casado, en COPE: "No es ejemplar que un hermano cobre de un contrato adjudicado por mi gobierno" |url=https://www.cope.es/programas/herrera-en-cope/videos/casado-cope-ejemplar-que-hermano-cobre-contrato-adjudicado-por-gobierno-20220218_1798132 |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=[[Cadena COPE]] |language=es}}</ref>

This led to a schism in the leadership of the PP, in which regional leaders and popular leaders demanded political responsibilities and a change of leadership and responsibilities in the apparatus. On 22 February there was a cascade of resignations of senior party officials and the demand by the majority of territorial barons and the Popular Parliamentary Group for the holding of an Extraordinary Congress, in addition to the request for the resignation of the Secretary General, which took place that same day.
