In the middle of an expectation maximum, the near 300 members of the federal committee, the "parliament" of the Spanish Socialist workers Party (PSOE), are invited this Saturday to a meeting at the national headquarters in Madrid, will measure forces between the advocates and antagonists of Sanchez.

In the first public appearance since Wednesday, most of the leadership of the party resigned to force his exit, Sanchez said that the meeting Saturday will determine the "direction" of the PSOE.

"I have Always championed the roadmap to vote 'No'" to a new government led by the head of the outgoing government, Mariano Rajoy, but "the federal committee can change the roadmap and to move to the abstention for him to reign," the conservative leader, warned Sánchez.

If they win their critics and impose the thesis that the 85 deputies of the PSOE, the second political force, to abstain in the Parliament to allow the investiture of Rajoy, would be "a mistake for millions of voters are progressive," he said.

In power since 2011, Rajoy won the parliamentary elections of last June, but with 137 mps out of 350 of Parliament the people’s Party stayed away from a majority needed to govern, so it is necessary to at least the abstention of the PSOE to stay in power.

In case of persisting the lock until the 31st of October, it will dissolve the Parliament and summon new legislative elections in December, the third in just a year, something unheard of in Spain and Europe.

The will of Pedro Sanchez of trying an alternative government with two supports uncomfortable, we Can, which hopes to unseat the PSOE as the first force of the left, and the Catalan nationalists, was the trigger for the rebellion in the socialist ranks.

critics of Sanchez, including his main rival, the influential socialist president of Andalucía, Susana Díaz, will throw in his face that the party under his leadership has reaped the worst results of its history.

Proposing that the PSOE pass to the opposition to regroup forces.

In response to the "coup" of his critics, Sanchez has asked instead that it held a primary on the 23rd of October, where he hopes that the militants will renew their leadership, and then an extraordinary congress in November that endorses this eventual vote.

"I Ask for serenity and height of a view to this federal committee," said Sanchez, before the excitement generated by the meeting of Saturday, which led to militants from other parts of the country to announce that they would go to Madrid to support the socialist leader.

The party asked in a statement "to avoid any kind of concentration," his headquarters, for that reign of "peace of mind" during the committee.
