It turns out that Ferraz’s Ethics and Guarantees Commission has established that regional party congresses and primaries must take place after the Federal Congress, scheduled for November 29 to December 1 in Seville.
On the other hand, the PSOE of Castilla y León defends that the statutes say that only the regional congresses – they say nothing about the primaries – take place after the federal congress. Since that of Castilla y León is called for January 25 and 26they understand that they are fully compliant with the regulations.
“Reasonable”
For his part, the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, the socialist Felix Bolanosaligned with Ferraz’s decision to cancel the convening of said congress and stressed that now is “the time” for the Federal Congress, which will be held in November, considering that the decision of the federal leadership is “reasonable” .
To questions from the media before participating in the closing of the La Toja Forum, Bolaños reiterated that “it is time to choose the leadership” and “of the party at the federal level”, in addition to “talking about the challenges, the policies, the horizons that the PSOE has in the future to continue building Spain.
“The federal leadership has made a reasonable decision, namely that the territorial congresses will take place later. It is time to talk about the PSOE; “It will be time to talk about federations at the territorial and regional level,” underlined the socialist.
In the same spirit, the Minister of Digital Transformation and Civil Service of Spain, Oscar Lopezapproved the cancellation of the convocation to the autonomous congress of the PSOE of Castilla y León, arguing that “the competent body is the Federal Executive and has resolved”.
This is how López, former secretary general of the PSOE of this community, spoke within the framework of the Rose Festival of the Socialist Party of Laciana (León). The minister did not share what Tudanca expressed, who defended that there was “nothing in the regulations that expressly prevents this call” to the primaries.
Likewise, the provincial secretary of the PSOE of León, Javier Alfonso Cendóndefended that the cancellation decision is “a correct assessment” and that “the party must look after the interests of the organization”.
