A total of 95,365 PSOE militants have endorsed Pedro Sánchez in the consultation with members that ended on Saturday night on his government and investiture pacts to achieve re-election as President of the Government. This figure represents 87.13% of the PSOE members who voted in the consultation, with a participation of 63.41% of the total membership census, which is a total of 172,611, according to data provided by the party leadership with 99% of the vote counted. Another 13,053 militants (11.93%) voted against these agreements, especially for the amnesty law for those prosecuted for the process that the PSOE is finalizing negotiations with Junts. The final result, however, represents a broad endorsement of the socialist militancy for its leader, as Sánchez himself predicted when he called the consultation.
But the territorial breakdown of the scrutiny of the consultation, released this Sunday by Ferraz's leadership, offers a map of the greatest and least support for Sánchez among the main PSOE federations, those with the greatest number of members. At the head of this support for Sánchez is the Valencian Community, whose federation is led by Ximo Puig, where up to 10,885 militants (92.72%) have voted yes. In second position stands out the Canary Islands, whose federation is directed by Ángel Víctor Torres, where 3,481 members (91.01%) have voted in favor of the agreements.
Among the main federations of the PSOE, it is also worth noting the significant result of the consultation with the militancy in Andalusia, the federation led by Juan Espadas which, with 43,610 members, is the largest in all of Spain. Up to 25,226 Andalusian militants (88.28% of those who voted) have supported Sánchez's pacts. Only 3,158 members (11.05%) have spoken out against these agreements.
At the opposite pole, Castilla-La Mancha stands out, the federation led by the president of this community, Emiliano García-Page, which has radically expressed itself against the amnesty law. Up to 1,368 members in this federation, 19.81% of those who voted, were against these agreements, with the highest percentage of noes in all the PSOE federations. However, the yes vote also won in Castilla-La Mancha, since 5,426 members have voted in favor, 78.57% of those who have exercised their right to vote. García-Page knows that his position against the amnesty is in the minority in the PSOE, but the scrutiny of the consultation also shows that the majority of his federation does not share this position, or that at least puts Sánchez's re-election as president of the PSOE first. Government.
The yes has won in all the PSOE federations. Also in Aragón, where its leader, Javier Lambán, shares with Page his absolute rejection of the amnesty for those accused of the process. Up to 2,818 Aragonese members, 82.35% of those who voted, have opted for yes.
“Every day we are closer to achieving the investiture of Pedro Sánchez,” highlighted this Sunday the secretary of organization of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, immersed in full negotiations with Junts to unblock Sánchez's re-election. “It is the mandate that came out of the polls on July 23,” he said. “And the formula to achieve it has been ratified by the vast majority of our bases,” he celebrated.
That more than 87% of the PSOE membership voted yes in this consultation, Cerdán assured, "represents a strong endorsement so that our general secretary and president of the Government can thus configure a new Executive."
“Militancy has the last word,” stressed the number three of the PSOE. “It is his voice that sounds loud and clear every time the PSOE is faced with an important decision. As socialist leaders, we only have to act with loyalty to what our bases ask of us,” Cerdán concluded.
