The PSOE of Castilla y León breaks up. The Autonomous Committee meeting this Thursday in Valladolid highlighted the internal crisis of training on the eve of the Autonomous Congress, already officially scheduled for January 25 and 26. It is precisely the timetable established for this congressional event which ended up fracturing the party after the maneuver of its current secretary general, Luis Tudançato speed up the process, so that next week it is necessary to present candidates to lead the training.
A timeline that currently analyzes Ferraz’s leadership in the face of complaints from prominent socialist leaders that it violates both the statutes themselves and the general secretary’s directives, Pedro Sanchezdecided that regional congresses would only begin after the end of the Federal Congress (November 29 to December 1) in order to focus on programming and leave aside leadership struggles, an approach that was also endorsed by the secretaries of the Organization. during an internal meeting In addition, the statutes of the PSOE establish that the calendar must be approved by an ethics and guarantees commission.
But this was not the case and Tudanca’s proposal, of which no one was aware and which was presented “with a total lack of light and in a totally undemocratic manner”, according to different sources reported to ABC, was voted on, although with very little rigor. In theory, meeting participants could find out about it thanks to a QR code integrated into the accreditation but not downloadable. Very few people were aware of the operation and when they learned of the timetable on which they were to vote, some chose to leave the room while criticism arose from those who considered the intention of the current regional secretary to begin the process of primary elections. , anti-statutory between the two, which in practice means arriving at the Federal Congress at the end of November with everything decided.
The provincial secretary of León, Javier Alfonso Cendón; that of Avila, Jesus Caro; that of Soria, Luis Rey; the Secretary of Electoral Action of the Federal Government, Javier Izquierdoand even the spokesperson for the federal executive of the PSOE and leader of the party in Burgos, Esther Penathey refused to vote for Tudanca’s proposal, which, within the same Autonomous Committee, was strongly criticized by Cendón and Izquierdo, who warned that it went against the guidelines set by Ferraz and even the statutes of the party.
Thus, among many cries and much noise, the calendar was approved, which implies that from October 8 to 15 the pre-candidates can be presented; From the 16th to the 26th, support will be raised so that the proclamation of the candidates takes place between October 27 and 28. The first would arrive on November 9 and the 16th in the second round.
Some dates that would lead to the Federal Congress to be held from November 29 to December 1, with everything decided in Castilla y León, which would already have its own name to lead the party for the next four years. A fact which, for many of those who attended the Autonomous Committee this Thursday, is “an irregularity and a shame”, highlighted several participants, who even went so far as to describe Tudanca’s maneuver as a “coup d’état” . “
