Pedro Sánchez’s appearance after the resignation of Santos Cerdán, unlike on other occasions, He has not calmed the storm that is hitting the socialist militancy. Throughout today, the reason has contacted mayors, responsible for the party in Autonomous Communities and in regional governments, historically supporters of Pedro Sánchez. The answer is unanimous with a background sensation: “We are deceived.”
A senior leader of the party puts some irony to the situation by pulling a French expression “Je Suisolée”. Not everyone has humor to fit the events of the last hours. A former government position, today in private companies, says “This government is already”. In the middle pictures the environment is worse “everything that is happening, It will drag us all“, points out a mayor who reached the rod of command in the last legislature. Another first mayor, more veteran, assumes the situation with more poise but without joys:” Today is a Chungo day like others that were in the past. “
Some draws strength from weakness … “Now they will attack us for everything. Notice that they talk about a tax that will ask for the party! They are ignorant of volume and loin. The tax is the quota, “he says in reference to the fact that the militants who are incorporated into governments – central, autonomic or municipal – pay a share greater than the base militants, which in the argot of the party is known as” the tax. “
Rejection of Sánchez
The environment in the direction is not better. There is no debate in the PSOE on what to do … “like It is decided by the entire hard core of the president. No one thinks, nobody is asked of opinion and I think, unfortunately, that nobody wants to comment“, affirms a militant of socialist cuisine. Moreover, most of the socialists consulted by La Reason point” to a cycle end “and also believe” that “that The remodeling of the executive is insufficient. This ends“
In fact, in the socialist militancy “Sanchista” an unthinkable debate is already faced just 48 hours. The tone is critical and does not hide a rejection of the current general secretary. “It does not have a pass or any justification are the decisions that Pedro has made by putting the central structure of the PSOE in the hands of these people,” says a party leader referring to the three tenors – ease, Cerdán and García – who does not seem enough to apologize. Another one goes beyond summarizing the general feeling: “You have to know prepare a reasonable ending and put the foundations of the new stage“, to add that Wait for Pedro to know how to live“. He is not the only one who thinks it. Many of the consulted It does not even seem enough “to undergo a motion of trust Because the partners will get great and run the risk of going from bad to worse. “
He Federal Committee is set for July 4, for within 20 days. However, this time seems an eternity for the socialist militancy that thinks of elections, a change of cycle and, therefore, of direction. They do not seem to settle for surgical reform in the federal executive. And this time the criticisms do not come from the “old PSOE”, from the usual critical sectors led by García-Page or Javier Lambán, come from the sectors that have traditionally supported Pedro Sánchez. This time they are the “Sanchistas”, some even of the first batch that demand a deep change in the match that includes Pedro Sánchez himself. One of these could not hide his sorrow: “What is happening is horrible. I hallucinate”.
