The popular movement of Andalusian socialism, Andalusian Socialist Bases (BAS), is already working to present a new project of integration and unity which constitutes an alternative for the XV Regional Congress of the PSOE of Andalusia (PSOE-A) which will be held early next year, as previously announced OKDIARIO Andalusia. But who is hiding behind this critical movement which wants to put an end to the end of the mandate of Juan Espadas and, with this, remove the yoke of Ferraz on the PSOE-A?
DOWN is led by Luis Angel Hierrowho was the third in the running in the primaries of the Andalusian PSOE June 2021, which is gone Spades as general secretary of PSOE-A to the detriment of Suzanne Diaz. Curiously, however, among the eight signatories, four supported the project during the primaries. Susana Diaztwo who supported Juan Espadas and two who supported Luis Angel Hierrowho is precisely the person who has been organizing this platform for months.
However, the sources of DOWN they ensure OKDIARIO Andalusia that what is “not yet on the table” is the candidate who will face Spades at the 15th Regional Congress of the PSOE of Andalusia which will take place early next year. “First of all, get excited and add. But there certainly will be. It is obvious that those who previously had more support have a greater responsibility in evaluating those who can count on their own support and who can also add to the rest,” the same sources point out.
To choose the candidate who will face Spades In DOWN They think above all about the debate in South Channel: “We want to place at the PSOE desk a person who can win Juanma Moreno Bonilla in this debate. “If you have it in mind, it will be the candidate.” “The other characteristic is that he is integrative from moment zero, exactly the opposite of Juan Espadas. This is why DOWN This is important because it happens by adding. Among the first eight signatories, there are two who supported Espadas, two who supported Hierro and four who supported Susana,” they point out.
“In any case, it is normal that the name appears at the end of the federal congress. What I assure you is that there will be a candidacy for Juan Espadas whatever happens,” add the same sources.
This platform, which includes and integrates socialist activists who supported different candidates in the primaries of the 14th Regional Congress, maintains that the PSOE-A needs, on the one hand, “a profound transformation of its political action and, on the other part, of a regeneration and renewal of the project, which has its own decision in defending the interests of Andalusia.
