It’s time. Critics of the current situation in which the Andalusian PSOE finds itself, led by Juan Espadasunited and began to organize to fight in eI fifteenth regional party congress to be held early next year.
And they will do it under the aegis of the new platform of the Andalusian Socialist Bases in order to prepare a new alternative which “He doesn’t want to exclude anyone.“. Juan Espadasfor his part, has already expressed his intention to run in the elections and, subsequently, as a candidate for the presidency of the Andalusian Government.
It is a common space, born from the bases, in which they converged people who, in previous processes, occupied different positions. However, he enjoys the support of former leaders, who at the time supported Espadas himself and the national leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez.
There is also susanists who voted for the former president Susana Diaz during the June 2021 primaries, won by Juan Espadas, and supporters of Luis Angel Hierroprofessor of economics at the University of Seville and former socialist senator, who confronted both in this internal process.
The objective is to start the project to form an alternative which will mean “a path with a lot of work, but with a lot of enthusiasm“, assures one of the members to EL ESPAÑOL.
They insist that they are taking this step forward in response to the need of the Andalusian PSOE for, on the one hand, “a profound transformation of its political action” and, on the other hand, for “a regeneration and a renewal of the project, which has its own decision in defending the interests of Andalusia”.
In the opinion of its members, the current situation of the PSOE-A demonstrates “a clear distancing from the Andalusian electorate“. All this after four electoral defeats and a fall in the electoral ground of the PSOE-A to 880,000 votes in the regional elections of 2022, with 30 socialist deputies against 58 for the PP and with the latest polls indicating a worsening.
The new platform aims to rediscover the illusion of belonging to the party which “transformed the lives of millions of Andalusians“and rebuild the welfare state.
Also generate a qualitative leap in the development of the Andalusian economy and promote a fair, equitable, balanced and egalitarian financing system, taking as a reference the financing model of the Australian States.
With this they show his rejection of Catalonia’s tax quota that the national PSOE agreed with the ERC in exchange for the inauguration of Salvador Illa and the submissive position of Juan Espadas in this regard.
Its members believe that it is time to take the plunge because they have noticed that there is enthusiasm to be “a real alternative” even from the government of Juanma Moreno.
The manifesto will begin to be distributed in the coming weeks among the more than 45,000 members of the Andalusian PSOE to collect their signatures so that the party can once again be participatory, inclusive and regain its internal activity.
