Sánchez pushes the PSOE towards territorial decomposition. In four years it has seen its seats reduced in 12 of the 17 Autonomous Communities, it has lost power in six and it only presides over three.

In Madrid, the Basque Country and Galicia it is the third force. This disintegration also sharpens the personalist model that SáncheZ has imposed on the party, since without solid barons, the Secretary General barely has any counterweights. The most serious thing, however, is the harmful effect of es weakness in the entire political system.
