Lobato seeks more control in the PSOE of the city of Madrid, including Mar Espinar in its core. The relationship between Espinar and Mercedes González is "completely broken", confirm several sources close to both.

"There is no harmony between the party and the group," says a member of the formation. "Both want to mark their line and neither is going to give it up," summarizes Pedro Sánchez, a second member of socialists in the city.
