The Spanish Socialist workers Party (PSOE) was formed in 1879, at a clandestine meeting in the city of Madrid. It was one of the first socialist parties that were founded in Europe by the interests of the new working classes emerged from the Industrial Revolution.
Little or nothing remains of the foundation of the PSOE and the years brightest where it was a game that reflected the ideas of the Spanish left. In a context of political crisis in Spain, the Socialist Party is hemorrhaging in favor of their adversaries, that is relamen the wounds before the internal war socialist.
Let’s try to focus on the key of the crisis of the PSOE:
Pedro Sanchez
The spaniard elected in the primaries that were held in 2014, has been two years as leader of the opposition, a period of great disagreement between domestic sectors of the party, coinciding with a period of political crisis-level Spanish and european. The dabbling with the ideologies of the left and right have made him a leader heavily criticised by the barons of the PSOE. The joints to withstand the revolution of the two new parties in Spain, We and Citizens, have undermined his capacity for leadership, since he has not been able to decide between any of the two. If you well-tried a government with the party of Albert Rivera, was reluctant to the abstention of the Popular Party government, opening the doors to a possible negotiation for a government with podemos and the nationalist groups.
These fluctuations have been subtracted credibility to the leader madrid, which has lost six of the seven elections in which it has participated, bringing the worst results in the history of the Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party.
Precisely the only time that Pedro Sánchez has won an election in these two years as a leader overall, has been in Andalusia, Susana Díaz at the helm. Just the seville appeared as the main threat to the presidency of the PSOE, since it has support within the party, according to Pablo González (member of the socialist party (PSOE), and with few noticeable results at the entity, socialist.
The resignation of the 17 deputies
The federal executive commission, headed by Pedro Sanchez met 17 resignations on September 29. Just the necessary for the actions and decisions of the current leader of the party will be illegal. That is to say, according to the existing regulations, the federal executive would be deslegitimizada if half plus one of the members to resign from his post.
however, Pedro Sanchez forced the situation, made haste to schedule a primary sponsored by the 300 members of the federal committee, avoiding in this way his resignation and the acceptance of the manager as an organ of legislature of the PSOE.
on the other hand, the opponents of the leader of madrid considered that the decisions taken by Pedro Sanchez from now on would be illegal and would lack any legality in the eyes of the federal committee.
Opponents:
on The 1st day of October, the candidate of we Can, Pablo Churches, warned that the training abode after this internal crisis in the PSOE would remain as the main alternative to a new government with Mariano Rajoy at the front, as the party of Pedro Sanchez has shown little capacity for change and has not been positioned against the Popular Party.
In this way, the overall leader of We took advantage of the situation that is settled in the internal regime of the Socialist Party. Another that was rubbing the hands with the clash internal was prime minister, Mariano Rajoy. The leader of the PP she knows that a third election would facilitate its absolute majority, and that the lesser evil was the government with the support of Citizens.
Resignation of Pedro Sanchez
The 2 day of October, Pedro Sanchez resigns as leader and general of the PSOE.
the meeting with The federal committee for a vote on the primaries ended with a vote by show of hands, which rejected the holding of a primary for the election of the new socialist candidate, or the election of Pedro Sánchez as head of the party.
A minute after losing the vote, Pedro Sánchez, announced his resignation as overall leader of the party. Two years and three months after his election as overall leader of the party, Pedro Sánchez said goodbye to the directorate general. His stage is marked by the internal crisis, the loss of control of the left in which we Can has been shown as a serious candidate, and the elections lost at this time. Their policies have not been able to topple Rajoy, the leader of a party peppered with cuts and corruption.
Finally, a manager has been at the head of the PSOE. The list of managers to revive the party, has been composed by different figures of the Spanish geography, thus forming a management by territories.
In principle, and according to sources close to the party, the manager will be at the head of the party a minimum of six months, which will later be mounted the campaign with the main candidate policy right now, Susana Díaz.
Abstention the Rajoy government
Finally, on the 24th day of October, the manager of the PSOE announced his abstention to the investiture of Mariano Rajoy, in an atmosphere tense by the pressure of the other opponents unrelated to this decision, a socialist leader said that "the worst has already happened", making reference to the fact that the Socialist Party had bottomed out and remained only to reverse this situation in the not too distant future.
How does it look on Spanish politics from the outside?
According to Léo Pnoel student of Political Science at the University of Paris, "The current policy in Spain with the emergence of we Can raise several issues about the traditional institutions. This phenomenon is for me the symbol of the crisis of representation that exist in Europe and in the world. Also, the new party, Citizens mark a break with traditional politics. The confrontation between these two parties is very interesting because it shows the different ways of viewing the political change".
it Also suggests that "the political system forces the formation of coalitions, which blocks the general functioning of the institutions, and at times prevents the creation of a government. The fact that we Can and Citizens present themselves as parties of change causes them to reject alliances with the traditional parties (PP, PSOE, PC), which insulates the parties".
On the question of the explosion of Can: "The question of populism Can also raises. For me, the speech of we Can is paradoxical with his presence at the institutions. Want to change the political system, participating in the institutional process.
I Recently called the attention on the fact that there is no right-wing party strong in the country."
