Sánchez takes on his hard core in an Executive for times of tribulation

In times of tribulation, do not move. The PSOE is going through one of the most delicate moments since Sánchez came to power as a result of the judicial offensive by the right. And the secretary general has decided to endorse the maxim of the founder of the Jesuits. Ignatius of Loyola, and not make major changes in the direction that will accompany him for the next four years. Or as long as the mandate lasts. In the PSOE you never know. The last time the president introduced some modifications to the federal leadership was last January to include ministers Puente and Ana Redondo, who, coincidentally, is the only minister who is now leaving the federal leadership.

Sánchez does not make revolutionary changes or star additions, but renews his hard core, although he adds some new additions from the territories that he negotiated with each of the general secretaries from early Saturday afternoon until after midnight . The times in which conclaves took place after dog-face negotiations with the different territories also passed under socialism.

The continuity of María Jesús Montero in the deputy secretary general and also that of Santos Cerdán, in Organization, is confirmed, despite the fact that both were accused in court by the ringleader of the corrupt plot of the Koldo case, the businessman Víctor Aldama. Pedro Sánchez also maintains Cristina Narbona as president of the PSOE, a symbolic position that she already held.

For the spokesperson, Sánchez maintains his confidence in Esther Peña, who has only been in her position for a year. The deputy for Burgos arrived in Ferraz to replace Pilar Alegría after the general elections of July 23, 2023, since the Minister of Education also became spokesperson for the Executive.

Replacing Minister Ana Redondo, Pilar Bernabé, the Government Delegate in Valencia, has been appointed head of the Equality area, who is rewarded for her work as a representative of the Central Executive during the management of the DANA tragedy in Valencia.

Redondo’s departure represents a disavowal by the president of her work as a minister, which has not been without setbacks. His department was responsible, for example, for the legislative error in the parity law that allowed the dismissal of fathers and mothers on care leave. The dismissal of the director of the Women’s Institute was also announced after it was learned that her company obtained 64 public contracts from socialist city councils to manage the violet points.

By territory, there will be three representatives from Extremadura in the new Executive. One of them, the former president and historic socialist leader Guillermo Fernández Vara, who already held the area of ​​Autonomous Politics.

Juan Francisco Serrano, Santos Cerdán’s right-hand man in Organization, Paco Salazar and the Sevillian Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis remain in Andalusia.
