In the Andalusian PSOE, at this moment there is only one candidate to lead the party in the next congress, the general secretary, Juan Espadas. The various families of critics walk, like the characters in the work of Luigi Pirandellolooking for an author, someone who takes the step and decides to present themselves. “There is still no alternative candidate, but there will be one,” he assures Public an experienced socialist.
Nobody in the Andalusian PSOE disputes Pedro Sanchezwho at the end of the month will revalidate his position in the federal Congress of Seville. In the following months, the Andalusian will come. The party is fully in Andalusia in pre-congressional mode. What Sánchez and the Ferraz Executive think about what needs to be done in the most populated Community, in which the PSOE was hegemonic for decades, will be a decisive factor in the process.
In these times, several leaders with command in the square have come out in support of Espadas while the critics, who also have the general secretary of Cádiz, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boixthey move. These make up right now a heterogeneous group, which also maintains different analyzes and different strategies between them, immersed in a process of accumulation of forces. Nothing is written yet and all scenarios are open.
This Wednesday, Pepe Caballosa veteran socialist, who enjoys prestige in the party and who in the last primaries supported Espadas, finally the winner against the former president Susana Diazhas launched in the Andalusian newspapers of the Joly group a letter, together with some old rockers of the party (47) and militants in which he states that “what corresponds now, before falling into the absurd continuity of a present that neither remembers nor expects, is to bet on a new direction and a new address”. He does not quote Espadas, but the message is clear.
In the letter, he also leaves a message about the 2018 elections, when the PSOE, with Susana Diaz at the front, although it remained the first force, the Junta lost for the first time to the union of PP, Ciudadanos and Vox. With this, the signatories intend to distance themselves from the Susanista current.
With the letter, what the Horse sector has done is throw the stone into the lake and stir the waters with it. “There is nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come,” they consider. “The debate [sobre le liderazgo] runs through the entire game, from top to bottom,” they analyze.
Wear of Moreno Bonilla
In the leadership of the PSOE in Andalusia, the letter did not sit well, they consider that several of them are people who ruled and no longer rule, and they believe that the moment chosen, just before the federal congress, is very inconvenient and gives ammunition on the right.
Above all, because, the management considers, it is now that they have achieved change the pace for Moreno Bonilla. They believe that, six years later, wear and tear has begun due to various factors, including the judicial investigation of the emergency contracts, which was opened after a complaint from the PSOE. The socialists believe that this will be reflected in the next polls. And they also analyze that when the time comes, everything will be seen: the endorsements, the support.
The president of the party, Manuel Pezzifaithful squire of Espadas, published a message on the social network X in which he stated: “The Government of Moreno Bonilla wears heavily with deteriorated healthabandoned dependency, battered education, built universities, young people without support, skyrocketing housing…”
“A serious, programmed opposition work, with a growing impact on Andalusian political life, which the PP ignores with its subsidized media and its hired polls. Raising great opposition in three years is not trivial and it deserves continuity in a job well done. To demand now from the ranks that did not know how to maintain the Junta’s government an immediate change, after only three years, is still sad malice,” he writes. Pezzi.
