For the first time since Pedro Sanchez was elected general secretary of the Socialists last July, the PSOE political debate where to locate, who goes and who can be your traveling companions. The debate will emerge naturally Secretary General to raise your aspiration is to represent “the left and the middle class,” and that his vocation is “majority”. Your reference is Felipe Gonzalez in 1982 elections, in which it reached the center support on the left. And Can we?.

Pedro Sanchez can never calls by name, but speaks of “populism”, which stands next to the right as adversaries. Some will tell you it is wrong. Clearly express what the members of the Socialist Left, whose spokesman, José Antonio Pérez Tapias, who ran alongside Sanchez and Eduardo Madina by the Secretary General of the PSOE. The coordinator of this stream yesterday prepared the outlines of his speech, which passes to the federal committee defending a look at the left of the PSOE and not “the center-left.”

The controversy comes when Perez defends Tapias today an alliance policy behind different choices, which does not exclude any force from the left, not a can. Perez Tapias, who struggled with Madina and Sanchez by the Secretary General of the PSOE, then won 15% of the vote.

The members of the current Socialist Left (11 in the federal body) agreed yesterday to say aloud to his companions that they should not continue to disqualifications can, this being a “non-emergent, but rising” political force, according to Perez said Tapias COUNTRY.

In addition, the party led by Paul Churches have been many votes that were above the PSOE. The Socialist Left partners said they do not ask the unit can, but a more nuanced discourse and, therefore, less dismissive. In the last hours, the secretary general of the PSOE party reiterates that the MEP Iglesias leads to a “Venezuelan” model, without freedom and progress.

This internal debate with his party Sanchez will occur after which took the floor to announce officially that the primaries for the presidency of the Government, to be held on July 26 will be presented.

After his speech held on the pillars of your project. Speak much Catalan and defend the federal proposal will be supported mainly Sánchez. Also in this area will be the group’s dissenting Socialist Left proximity to request more positions PSC to not insult the possibility of consultation.

the process of primaries to elect candidates for mayor and the regions will be discussed because it is up to the federal committee today approved its regulations. Last night was still working on them the secretary of Cesar Luena, in the attempt to harmonize the positions of all federations. There will be primaries in 403 municipalities of over 20,000 inhabitants and in half a dozen regions. Not everyone thinks the same about whether to participate or just militants also open them to the public. Sanchez does want to engage society when he is present. But not everyone is for opening the doors to those without license PSOE.
