The Congress of Spanish Socialists in Seville has served to show that Sánchez has the game well tied up, despite the complicated situation he is experiencing due to various scandals that dot their surroundings. Except for some discordant voices and notable absences, the general secretary of the PSOE has managed to make the Federal Congress anything but federal, that is, a meeting ad maiorem Sánchez gloriamif you allow me this joke my Jesuit friends.
He is lucky to have almost no territorial weight and, therefore, barons to bother him, with the exception of Emiliano García-Page. This is the main virtue of the President of the Government, who He takes advantage of adversity. Just the opposite of Núñez Feijóowho in Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla has two serious adversaries, and in the Numantine resistance of Carlos Mazón, a burden.
Sánchez has managed to give the party a Caesarist spirit and unity, now that things are going badly. It repeats the model “he who moves does not appear in the photo” by Alfonso Guerra. The case of the Valencian Community is paradigmatic. The general secretary includes in the new Executive the Government delegate, Pilar Bernabé, and Alejandro Soler, deputy and former mayor of Elche. A way to reward their loyalty and clear the way for Diana Morant even more.
The general secretary of the PSPV also has two people she completely trusts in the Executive, the former councilor Arcadi España, who remains, and Tania Baños, mayor of the Vall d’Uixó and deputy to the general secretary for being president of the PSPV. Council of Mayors.
Yet, The Valencian Community is not strengthened by maintaining the same positions it had. If the president’s concern or strength is measured by the quota in the federal executive, Madrid and Andalusia take the cake.
