Overview

• The PP confirmed that secretary general Miguel Tellado will attend Thursday’s presentation in Madrid of Atenea, the think tank created by former Vox spokesman Iván Espinosa de los Monteros.
• Vicesecretary Alma Ezcurra welcomed the project and said “Vox se le ha quedado un poco pequeño” for Espinosa, framing the attendance as a gesture of respect.
• PP sources present the move as engagement with voters between Vox and the PP, with reporting indicating Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo and Juan Bravo are also likely to be there.
• Génova insists it will not use Espinosa to destabilize Vox or as an electoral vehicle, describing the relationship as one of selective idea sharing.
• Espinosa remains publicly distant from Vox’s leadership—he has said “No nos hablamos” with Santiago Abascal—and Atenea is pitched as a foundation to generate policy proposals for parties.
