Drop another key piece of the Primal Hard Core

The “hard and real core” that encouraged Pedro Sánchez to regain the leadership of the PSOE in 2017 –after his ouster on October 1, 2016– loses another key piece with the resignation of Adriana Lastra as number two in the party. It already happened, just a year ago now, with José Luis Ábalos, number three of the PSOE as secretary of organization, and Minister of Transport; Carmen Calvo, head of Equality and later First Vice President of the Government; or Juanma Serrano, his chief of staff in Ferraz until the motion of censure triumphed. The Asturian Lastra (Ribadesella, 1979), joined the first executive of Sánchez in 2014, at the head of Municipal Policy. After the "resurrection" of Sánchez, in which she played a leading role, in 2017 she was awarded as deputy general secretary of the PSOE. And when Sánchez arrived at Moncloa, in 2018, she also assumed the socialist spokesperson in Congress, in which, however, she was already replaced last September.
