The candidacy led by the mayor of Castro Urdiales, Susana Herrán, has won in the internal vote held this Sunday among the militancy and will lead the Cantabrian delegation in the Federal Congress of the PSOE that will be held in Seville at the end of November to re-elect to Pedro Sánchez. The list critical of the current leadership of the party in the autonomous community has achieved a narrow victory of 10 delegates compared to 9 against the candidacy of the current general secretary, Pablo Zuloaga, in what has been considered a first round of planned future primaries. for spring.
Thus, the nearly 3,000 PSOE militants in Cantabria were called to the polls this Sunday in an organic process that seemed inconsequential, since they were simply choosing the 19 delegates who will attend the Federal Congress of Seville in which Pedro Sánchez will give a vote. mass bath as the only candidate, but that in the autonomous community has been presented as a first round of an internal conflict brewed by control of the party, promoted by a critical sector grouped around the national deputy Pedro Casares, who did not even attend in first person
Depending on the final results of this vote in which around 75% of the militancy participated, different conclusions will be drawn from now on in the face of a new head-on clash next spring, which will be when the primaries will be held. in which the General Secretariat of the PSOE of Cantabria will be put into play, so the socialist militancy has lived in recent weeks between tension and stupefaction due to the level of aggressiveness that has been unleashed in a call that is more symbolic than real, but which will have short-term effects.
The militants have had to choose between two lists: the one headed by Pablo Zuloaga himself with his usual team and the one led by the mayor of Castro Urdiales, Susana Herrán, as a person brought in by Pedro Casares, who has assured his presence in Seville as a member. even from the outgoing Federal Executive. Without the possibility of negotiation or integration, some and others have interpreted this appointment with the polls as a first attempt at battle in which to measure their strength and count on support.
All of this has provoked an intense campaign even to collect endorsements, with individual calls to the militants, interviews, statements to the media and an externalization of the internal conflict towards public opinion that was criticized even by Ferraz, who had to intervene with a unpublished statement in which he denied “neither guardianship nor interference” in favor of one of the candidates that were presented to the organic process.
