Several PSOE-M officials criticize the regional general secretary, Juan Lobatofor taking his conversation with the minister’s chief of staff before a notary Óscar López, Pilar Sánchez Aceraand they consider that it is an error that will cost them their position immediately, before the 41st Federal Congress that begins this Friday.
To take into account
Sources consulted by Europa Press They point out that the step of going to the notary’s office “no one understands” and is undermining their image among the party’s bases, to the point that they see it as very likely that in the next few hours he will lose the support of more than half of the regional executive.
They also point out that the last few hours have been critical for Lobato and there are internal movements and calls between charges to force his exit. At this point, the different sources consulted admit that the leadership of the party at the national level is also playing its cards to overthrow him.
Ferraz pressure
A leader of the Madrid federation, less critical of Lobato, regrets May this episode serve as an excuse for Moncloa and Ferraz to try “charge it“and points out that they are putting pressure to reduce their internal support in the community as much as possible.
The political storm has been unleashed after Lobato stated that since Moncloa They sent him an email with the details of the boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. Also admitted that she went to a notary’s office to record a conversation with Sánchez Acera last March, when she was López’s chief of staff, who at that time was Pedro Sánchez’s chief of staff.
Lobato has defended that he went to the notary to accredit that the information he had, and which he used against Ayuso in the parliamentary debate of the Madrid Assembly, came from the media and No of a leak from the Prosecutor’s Office, in the middle of a judicial investigation for revelation of secrets that affects the attorney general himself.
“Sell your own”
However, the Madrid PSOE considers that it has given the image of “sell to yours“, since Sánchez Acera is part of the party leadership in Madrid as Institutional Secretary and speaks with her regularly to prepare the control sessions for the Executive of Ayusoas he himself has indicated.
In this sense they indicate that the error is more serious what he has committed, he has screwed up “to a point that can no longer be removed” and they assume that in the next few hours there will be a mass resignation in the regional Executive that forces Lobato to depart.
The most critical They think that he should resign immediately because it is not possible for him to lead the Madrid delegation in the 41st Federal Congress that begins on Friday, November 29 in Seville. In this sense, they indicate that he has lost the confidence of the majority of the party and No can represent the militants in these conditions.
They also point out that neither will have the strength to be able to place officials from Madrid at the top of the party at the federal level –“no one is going to want to listen to you“, they point out.
