The deputy Marta Bernardo will be the number two of Juan Lobato in the Executive of the PSOE, according to two socialist sources of the highest level. After adding their worst electoral result last 4-M, with only 24 deputies, the Socialists seek to reorganize and celebrate this weekend their regional congress at the fairground of Ifema. There, Lobato will present the strategic lines of his direction, advanced this Friday by EL PAÍS.
“We must create spaces in which women lead strategic issues,” said Juan Lobato in an interview with this newspaper after being elected as the new general secretary, replacing José Manuel Franco. “In my political leadership, my idea is that the main strategic and political positions are held by women.”
Bernardo (1966) worked for 20 years in the private sector, and has also been a councilor in the Alcorcón City Council. In the recent general congress of the PSOE, held in Valencia, she was elected a member of the Federal Committee. A show of confidence from Pedro Sánchez’s team to the politics that will have to lead the reconstruction of the PSOE in Madrid together with Lobato. A most complex task: the socialists have ceased to be the hegemonic force of the left in the capital and the region, where they are already surpassed by More Madrid; and they will soon open the internal fight to decide the candidacies for the municipal and regional elections of 2023.
