While Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo engaged in a new confrontation during the control session, the halls of Congress were transformed into an athletics track. Journalists’ careers anticipated big news, and cell phones were quick to announce it. “Lobato resigns!” . In a hurry, as he almost always leaves the hemicycle, the president preferred not to make any comment on this subject, despite questions from informants on the information which had just occurred at that time. The statements of the ministers who succeeded him were also inconclusive, all lost in platitudes about a goodbye that surprised him, especially since it occurred just twenty-four hours after the leader of the Madrid socialists reasserted himself in power. “We did not expect it,” explained a heavyweight in the party leadership, surprised after the publication of the letter in which Juan Lobato announced his resignation from the post of secretary general of the PSM. Trying to find a reason to explain what changed so that this resignation did not take place on Monday, nor on Tuesday, when Lobato denounced his own “lynching” during a brief appearance in the Madrid Assembly, and two days later, some Socialist officials present at the Congress declared that he was left alone. “You will have seen that he has no support,” they stressed. As for the origin of the resignation, which is none other than ABC’s exclusivity on the messages that Lobato recorded at a notary in Madrid with Pilar Sánchez Acera, chief of staff of the director of the Office of the Presidency of the Government , and today Minister of Digital Transformation, Óscar López, government sources have expressed calm and confidence that when revealed they will not compromise the Moncloa. Lobato will testify tomorrow before the Supreme Court in the trial filed against the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, for the leak of confidential data of Alberto González Amador, the boyfriend of Isabel Díaz Ayuso who defrauded the treasury of 300,000 euros. In any case, it didn’t take long for the news to sneak into the check-up session. Cuca Gamarra was the first to refer to it and she did so by linking the resignation to the weekend event in Seville. “There are hours left in the Federal Congress and it seems that the corrupt will not be purged, but Mr. Lobato has already resigned. “They can remain calm,” declared the general secretary of the PP, acting as herald in the House. A deputy raised his eyebrows, still confused at this point. From then on, the alleged corruption of the PSOE and the resignation of Lobato went hand in hand, inside and outside the control session. Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, as almost always, was the most energetic, bringing out the “nervousness” and “hysteria” that, according to her, were already rampant within the Council of Ministers. “Your hysterical escape betrays you, you are no longer standing. “At the moment when we know the ‘Whatsapps’ of his accomplice, ‘la Cianuro’ (referring to the Attorney General of the province of Madrid), imagine when they analyze the cell phones of García Ortiz to see if you also appear involved in a crime”, said the PP deputy, revealing a strategy whose main element resides in the State Attorney General.

The message of support that was sent was very significant. networks was sent to him by the secretary general of Castilla y León, Luis Tudanca, one of the territorial leaders most loyal to Sánchez, who has however become a critical voice in recent months, particularly against Cerdán and his way of leading the device party. “Today I will say loud and clear that Juan Lobato had and has my political respect and my personal appreciation. He worked hard against the most extreme right in memory. Several times alone. Others against everyone. No one is essential but, everywhere, people like him are needed,” he expressed through his profiles on X and Bluesky. Another leader of the same federation, the mayor of Palencia Míriam Andrés, goes further , who did not hesitate to describe the resignation of the leader of the Madrid socialists until this Wednesday as “bad news for the PSOE” And he added, with somewhat enigmatic but perfectly understandable rhetoric: “There are things I can’t understand. “It would be good if we started to apply ‘the land to those who work it’ through actions, not through mere speeches.” Assembly of Madrid, Mar Espinar, did not understand it either, when he declared: “You did not deserve this ending”.
