What is the current status of the PP's strategy regarding the crisis?: Génova's approach has been to de-escalate the political confrontation, aiming to appear statesmanlike and avoid being seen as politicizing the tragedy, while also considering the need to eventually address potential responsibilities of the Valencian government.
What are the main concerns motivating the PP's national leadership's approach to the crisis?: The national PP leadership is hesitant to openly support Mazón's version of events, opting to avoid direct confrontation with the government and mitigate public anger over the political handling of the tragedy.
How has the PP's national leadership responded to Mazón's public criticism of Teresa Ribera?: While Mazón publicly criticizes Teresa Ribera, the PP's national leadership avoids openly questioning her actions, prioritizing a unified image and avoiding further political conflict.
What are the emerging opinions within the PP concerning the responsibility for handling the \"dana\" crisis?: Voices within the PP, including regional leaders like Moreno Bonilla and Rueda, are starting to suggest that the Valencian government should also assume political responsibility for their handling of the crisis, although they acknowledge that this is not yet the appropriate time.
What is the main point of disagreement between the PP's national leadership and the Valencian regional government regarding the \"dana\" crisis?: The PP's national leadership claims consistent communication with Carlos Mazón's government, but their strategies have differed regarding the \"dana\" catastrophe response.
