Pedro Sánchez has chosen not to wait any longer, after the announcement of Adriana Lastra's inauguration as deputy secretary general of the PSOE, he has convened for this same Saturday the federal party committee, the highest body between congresses, to ratify the planned remodeling to undertake in the leadership of the organization and in its portavocías to remount the flight before the next electoral cycle, according to the Serge and confirmation of La Vanguardia fuentes de Ferraz.
After giving a push to the Government and the legislature, in the debate on the state of the nation, Sánchez now wants to give a new electoral boost to the PSOE, aligned with Moncloa, to try to close the passage on all fronts to the change of cycle politician in Spain led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo. In this strategy, the until now deputy general secretary of the PSOE, Adriana Lastra, yesterday announced her departure from the scene.
After the socialist electoral debacle of May 2021 in Madrid, Sánchez carried out a profound remodeling of the PSOE government and leadership two months later, which led to the departure of heavyweights such as Carmen Calvo or José Luis Ábalos, the rise of Félix Bolaños, and the incorporation of Óscar López, Antonio Hernando or Francesc Vallès to Moncloa.
The socialist electoral bump in Andalusia on 19-J, however, unleashed new organic tensions in the PSOE, and the urgent demand to rearm the party before the municipal and regional elections in May next year, as a prelude to the general elections in December 2023, which caused the expectation of new relays in the Ferraz dome.
But Sánchez first chose to go full throttle, and successfully linked the holding of the NATO summit in Madrid and the debate on the state of the nation, after which he was greatly strengthened. After these appointments, and before the summer break, Sánchez faces a strategic and electoral boost from the PSOE, which is now rushing after Lastra announced his resignation yesterday, alleging personal issues in the face of a risky pregnancy.
Aligning the leadership of the PSOE with Moncloa, from the point of view of electoral action and also of communication, would now be essential requirements for the strategy with which Sánchez seeks to remount the socialist flight before the new electoral cycle.
