Santos Cerdán’s hard core leaves the PSOE dome. Pedro Sánchez has given the green light to undertake the renewal of the leadership of the main government of the Government two days before the Federal Committee convened, the alleged corrupt plot in which José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García also participated and for which the last secretary of Organization entered Monday in the prison of Soto del Real. Juan Francisco Serrano, number two of Cerdán in Ferraz, and Javier Cendón, provincial secretary of León and who was also part of the exclusive group of deputies that did not separate from former number three of the PSOE in Congress, are two of the leaders who will leave in the remodeling that the party will approve on Saturday as confirmed by several sources consulted by the country.
The president has met with number two of the Executive and the PSOE, María Jesús Montero, this Thursday morning in Seville, where he has completed on financing for development, to address the first measures with which he will try to turn the worst crisis since he arrived seven years ago to La Moncloa. The Deputy Secretary General and the Collegiate Directorate that has interimly assumed the organization functions since the resignation of Cerdán three weeks ago have already informed several members of the federal executive who will not follow.
Although the PSOE does not officially confirm which are the leaders who do not continue, the sources consulted surely the departure of Juan Francisco Serrano, deputy for Jaén and number two of Cerdán in organization. Its case is very different from other management members who combined their position in Ferraz with other organic functions in the territories, which exceeded 10% maximum allowed by the statutes of the PSOE. Article 3 establishes at its tenth point that “an affiliate may only have an executive organic position, unless they are inherent or derived from the main position or function or one of them is to be part of the Municipal Executive Commission. Local or District”. “In any case,” they add, “it will be incompatible simulting a position in the provincial, insular, regional, nationality or regional executive commissions with being a member of the Federal Executive Commission. The respective Congress at the proposal of the General Secretariat may exceed compliance with this article by up to 10% of its members.”
The number of affected who are out of the socialist direction varies between five and eight according to the sources consulted. But Sanchez has insisted on distinguishing between those who belonged, as he has expressed to his surroundings. Ferraz sources remember that the Federal Congress of late last year in Seville chose an executive and, months later, some of its members were first or appointed for the first time general secretaries of their communities or provinces. The conclusion is to choose to focus on their territory. It would be the case of Francisco Lucas, Secretary of Constitutional Reform and new rights and for a few months Secretary General of Murcia. Other foreseeable examples would be those of the spokeswoman of the party, Esther Peña, who is the general secretary of Burgos, the Melillense Sabrina Moh, who is a vocal in Ferraz, or the new secretary of Organization in Aragon, Manuela Berges: The number two of Pilar Alegría in that federation, in which he has relieved Javier Lambán, combined that position with the person in charge of the executive of the social policies. PSOE Another member of the National Directorate with double function is Javier Cendón: Provincial Secretary of León and Secretary of Science, Innovation and Universities, entered the Executive in Seville and was part of the exclusive group of deputies that did not separate from Cerdán in Congress.
The president has also summoned this Friday at 16.30 in Ferraz to a group of women leaders of the PSOE to talk about the measures that the game will take in the face of the very hard wear that has meant the publication of recordings in which José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García talk about prostitutes. The sources consulted specify that it will not be an act of the party but a meeting behind closed doors in which Sanchez intends to explain to the most rank of the party changes such as the ethical code to expel any militant or leader who uses prostitution, something that the PSOE wants to prohibit generalized throughout Spain. This part of the scandal has caused almost the same wear and tear as corruption itself, and Sánchez will discuss possible measures with a large group of leaders of the PSOE, including deputies, senators and senior government positions.
