Borja Semper, back to politics: "I'm not going to take part in circuses or insults."
The Deputy Secretary of Culture and Sport and national spokesperson for the PP has returned to politics after ten months of retirement due to pancreatic cancer.
The PP's Deputy Secretary of Culture and Sport and spokesman, Borja Sémper, said on Tuesday that he will not participate in the "circuses and insults" that prevail in today's political life and that he has returned to " rise up against the rules of the game imposed by extremists to divide society. "
He has made these statements at the New Economy Forum , where he has participated after returning to the front line of politics, after ten months out of politics for pancreatic cancer.
The figure of a balanced politician
For Sémper, it is necessary to "bring serenity and meaning to Spanish politics," to restore the prestige and dignity of politics, and to defend the figure of a "balanced politician," who can offer "serenity and meaning."
PP leader Alberto Nunez Feijóo has presented Sémper's speech, in which the Iranian politician has stated that the PP "is not oblivious to the dynamics of degradation and decline" and has acknowledgedthat"it has its share of responsibility", yet has warned that "you cannot demand the same degree of responsibility from those who govern and those who do not."
Thus, he explains that during these months he has been observing politics from outside and has realized that nowadays "things that would otherwise be extraordinary are considered normal and would cause scandal." He gives as an example the "systematic attack"suffered by judges, who investigate the government, or the "opposition to the media that control power."
The Guipuzcoan politician, who reported cancer on July 14, 2025, has re-joined the party's steering committee on Monday and will serve as spokesperson for the next committee.
