Was there an operation orchestrated by the federal PSOE to dismiss former president of the Junta de Andalucía Susana Díaz of command of the most powerful party federation in Spain with nearly 46,000 members in 2021? The current senator of Andalusia directly targeted the secretary of organization of the PSOE at the time, Jose Luis Abalos. He assured that the current deputy of the Mixed Group, after his exclusion from the party, He met with public officials of the party in a hotel to ask for the vote for the then mayor of Seville.Juan Espadas, during the primaries held in June 2021 in which he ended up winning over Susana Díaz as candidate for president of the Junta de Andalucía.
The president of the Andalusian PSOE, Manuel Pezzi, has once again established himself as the “scourge” of “susanismo”, calling it “unpunished hoax” the accusations of the former regional secretary of the party for almost eight years (2013-2021) after being excluded from the lists of 57 delegates that the Seville formation will send to vote for Pedro Sánchez at the Seville Congress which will re-elect him as general secretary the last weekend of November.
In a message published in December 2018 in which “lWe, the socialists, have lost the government of the Junta”, after winning the elections with an insufficient majority to retain power. But “his clashes to the death against Pedro Sánchez” also weighed on his separation, admits the one who was a PSOE deputy until 2013 and advisor to former Andalusian president Manuel Chaves.
“The loss of the Junta and its death clashes against @sanchezcastejon do not seem a sufficient reason and, now, precisely now, he recovers his memory that he lost because Ábalos, yes yes, that Ábalos, from a hotel, a fortnight ago, changed the vote of militancy, which was enthusiastically his for that of the mayor of Seville @_JuanEspadas. “Ábalos, hotel, fifteen days, secretly, obscurely, changed the democracy of the @PSOE in Andalusia,” the president of the Andalusian PSOE criticized him on the aforementioned social network.
Pezzi accused Susana Díaz of “fabricating” against her party and Espadas from her seat as a “regular at rallies,” saying: “for the comfort and entertainment of the whole homeland of carcundia (carcunda)that “she lost the primaries” because of Ábalos’ maneuvers. “Not because 60% of Andalusian activists decided it freely, during a secret vote at the polls,” commented the socialist leader, without mincing his words at 76 years old.
He compares her to Ayuso
At this point, the former socialist leader declared that neither the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP), nor his chief of staff, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, known by his acronym MAR, would have gone that far. “Even Ayuso with MAR does not create such a dirty story. Her followers applaud her and attack me, who exposes the montage,” she wrote in X.
Unpunished hoaxes. Under no circumstances. Socialist senator Susana Díaz, a regular at the social gatherings of Antena 3’s Public Mirror, takes the liberty of confabulating against the @psoedeandalucia and its general secretary @_JuanEspadascounting, for the comfort and amusement of the whole nation,… https://t.co/lYFvv4cmNA

The former socialist leader launched the accusations against the former organizing secretary of the PSOE as he is about to be indicted for allegedly benefiting from a corrupt system of awarding public contracts through the Ministry of Transport that he directed and illegal commissions with the purchase of masks at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
In his attacks, Pezzi also included ABC, La Razón or El Mundo for having “bought” Susana Díaz what he considers a false story that leaves the current regional secretary, Juan Espadas, “tainted and questioned”while the internal war was reactivated after the emergence of a platform of critical activists calling for the replacement of the current leader of the Andalusian PSOE, at the next party congress.
With or without Ábalos’ intervention, during the primaries, some suddenly abandoned Susana Díaz’s ship to support Espadas after speaking out in defense of the former. The most paradigmatic case is that of the former president of the Provincial Council of Cádiz and head of the provincial PSOE, Irene Garcíawho is the current secretary of Institutional Policy, Relations with Social Organizations and Democratic Quality of the party’s Regional Executive Commission.
Irene García, the leader who changed sides
During an event with Susana Díaz, in April 2021, in El Bosque (Cádiz), he staged his support for the secretary general at the time. She did it as if she were a girl who had to choose one parent or the other. “Who did he love more, mom or dad?” he replied when asked about his preferences. facing the future regional congress. She was more susánista than ever: “We come here together (to the Sierra) as we have always done all this time, with absolute complicity in what is important, that is, the problem of the people . Does anyone have any doubts about his whereabouts? Irene Garcia? Anyone have doubts?
But last Friday, Irene García clearly spoke out in favor of her “father”, continuing her comparison, and spoke out against her political “mother”. He described as “indecent” the fact that it could be suggested that the then PSOE organizational secretary, José Luis Ábalos, helped Juan Espadas to win the 2021 primaries, after which the then mayor of Seville became a socialist candidate for the presidency of the Council and, later, secretary general of the PSOE-A.
