Madrid (EFE) there has been a block resignation of the candidates.
The Federal Committee of the PSOE will definitively ratify its lists tomorrow for the next general elections, led by the Prime Minister and party leader, Pedro Sánchez, in the midst of this controversy over the modifications.
Fifteen of the Aragonese PSOE candidates that the Federal Commission of Socialist Lists had included in the candidacies for Congress and the Senate have shown their resignation en bloc to integrate these lists, after Ferraz has modified the proposals of the provincial committees. No further resignations are ruled out.
These are important changes, among which is the inclusion of the deputy in this legislature Susana Sumelzo, close to Pedro Sánchez, as number two for Zaragoza, behind the Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría.
In a statement, the Regional Executive Commission of the PSOE Aragón has expressed its “deep disagreement” and has pointed out that the resulting composition “has hardly anything to do with the proposals of the corresponding provincial committees and, therefore, with the opinion of the militants”.
The preparation of the lists in Aragón was already marked by the disagreement with Ferraz, who imposed Pilar Alegría for Zaragoza, to the detriment of Óscar Galeano.
The discontent among the Castilian-Manchego socialists occurred after the Federal Committee’s proposal to replace the number one on the lists by the province of Toledo in Congress, the regional secretary of Organization, Sergio Gutiérrez, by the acting mayoress of Toledo, Milagros Tolón.
However, the change will not materialize in the end, so Tolón will be number two, while Sergio Gutiérrez will lead the candidacy, sources from Ferraz confirmed to EFE.
A decision that, for the PSOE of Castilla-La Mancha, represents a “reversal” to what it has described as “impositions”, although the acting president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García Page, has been grateful that corrected the error.
“I appreciate the cordial dialogue with the federal leadership to clarify an error in the head of the list of the candidacy for Toledo, and that allows us to focus on the campaign and to talk about what really interests the public,” he wrote. Page in social networks.
A great anger in the Castilian-Leonese PSOE have produced the changes in the lists that he had sent, with Javier Izquierdo heading the Senate for Valladolid and Manuel Arribas, one of the well-known participants in dinners with ‘Tito Berni’, to lead the list to Congress by Avila.
Party sources have confirmed to EFE both changes, which move Sara Galván, who goes to number two in the Senate for Valladolid, and Yolanda Vázquez, to number two for the Congress for Ávila.
This has generated in the case of Avila that the rest of the list is currently planning to renounce to attend the elections if this change is confirmed tomorrow at the Federal meeting.
In the Valencian Community, the PSPV lists have undergone a new change after passing through the Federal Commission of PSOE Lists, which has accepted several of the proposals put forward by the provincial directorates of Valencia and Alicante.
The Commission thus modifies the proposals approved this Thursday by the National Executive Commission of the PSPV-PSOE, whose meeting was chaired by the leader of the Valencian socialists, Ximo Puig, in which some of the names proposed last Wednesday by the provincial directorates have already been changed , party sources have confirmed to EFE.
Thus, the lists that will be raised to the Federal Committee once again include the mayor of Paterna, Juan Antonio Sagredo, as number one in the Senate for Valencia instead of the regional secretary for Institutional Promotion, Alfred Boix.
In Alicante, the commission of lists has varied the proposal of the national committee of the PSPV to leave those proposed by the provincial committee with Alejandro Soler of number 1, Patricia Blanquer of 2 and Lázaro Azorín of 3 in its first three positions in Congress.
