• Andalusia. Sánchez's first notice to Susana Díaz: he dismisses the Government delegate

  • Interview. Sandra García: "I think Ferraz will be respectful of the autonomy of the Andalusian PSOE"

  • Madrid.José Manuel Franco will relieve Irene Lozano in the presidency of the Higher Sports Council

The political strategy does not stop.

In the back room of a socioeconomic crisis, with the bruises left in the PSOE by the failed motions of censure in Murcia and Castilla y León and in the prelude to a government crisis, the internal struggles for power revive.

Ferraz and Moncloa are aware that territorial control is key.

Thus, they move tab with clear warnings: replacement of the Government delegates in Andalusia, Community of Madrid and Galicia.

New notice that leaders do not go through those who hold them now: Susana Díaz,

José Manuel Franco

and

Gonzalo Caballero

.

As in the PP, in the PSOE territorial power is also being elucidated.

Ferraz is determined to renew certain leaderships with new names that change the pace, in search of revitalizing a diminished electoral support.

A question that the socialist and La Moncloa strategists consider crucial to reinforce the permanence of Pedro Sánchez in the Government.

And it is that Andalusia and Madrid are capital enclaves for the project of the Prime Minister.

Pedro Fernández

and

Mercedes González

will be appointed this Tuesday by the Council of Ministers delegated to the Government, respectively.

In Galicia it will be

José Miñones

.

The departure of Sandra García

The clearest and most obvious case is that of Andalusia.

"I believe that Ferraz will be respectful with the autonomy of the Andalusian PSOE".

This phrase was pronounced by the still delegate of the Government in Andalusia,

Sandra García

, in the last interview granted to a newspaper, EL MUNDO de Andalucía.

It was a little over a week ago and this Tuesday she will be dismissed by the Council of Ministers and relieved by a recognized supporter of Pedro Sánchez, the mayor of Baza (Granada), Pedro Fernández, in what is the first tactical movement of Ferraz and La Moncloa in the

war

that is about to be fought for control of the Andalusian federation, the most important in Spain, against Díaz.

García, considered related to Susana Díaz, has lasted just over a year in office and was previously a delegate of the Board in Granada in the last government presided over by Díaz.

His appointment was then agreed by the federal leadership of the PSOE and the regional in what was then framed in fluid and cordial relations.

Of course, things have changed a lot and Ferraz has run out of patience with the Andalusian general secretary, who insists on fighting and resisting in Andalusia, after rejecting how many exits have been offered to her.

"Susana is not leaving"

Unlike what happened 13 months ago, the sudden dismissal of Sandra García was not reached by consensus with Díaz's team, which did not sit well with the news.

The maneuver, PSOE-A sources pointed out, has a clear "political significance" and after it "there will be more movements."

Although, these sources insisted, nothing that the federal leadership of the party led by Pedro Sánchez can do is going to make Díaz move even a millimeter from his position.

"Susana does not leave, she is going to present herself yes or yes, whether Sánchez likes it or not," the sources stressed.

Ferraz's bet to lead the socialist federation is

Juan Espadas

, mayor of Seville, considered by the national leadership "the greatest asset" of the party in this region.

In Madrida there are also drums of renewal.

The malaise in the socialist ranks of this community due to what they consider to be interference by Ferraz and La Moncloa in the electotal list for 4-M is ratified with the departure of José Manuel Franco to the Secretary of State for Sports, replacing

Irene Lush

.

Franco is, furthermore, until now the leader of the Madrid Socialists.

A facelift in Madrid

Sánchez's leadership is committed to future leadership in Madrid and has already placed

Hana Jalloul

, until now Secretary of State for Migration, as

number two

for Ángel Gabilondo.

Ferraz seeks a facelift in Madrid for 2023. The name that stands out is

Juan Lobato,

already a former mayor of Soto del Real, who already tried to lead this federation in 2017 and is to Ferraz's taste.

The councilor of the PSOE in the Madrid City Council,

Mercedes González Fernández

, will be the new government delegate in Madrid.

A promotional platform for the next elections.

The appointment that the Council of Ministers of José Miñones is expected to make as a government delegate in Galicia is also a warning movement.

He is the only Galician chosen by Sánchez to be part of the preparatory presentation for the next federal congress - a speaker on Municipalities and Rural Areas - and has been critical of

Gonzalo Caballero

after the poor result of the last regional elections, calling for primaries to address the leadership of the PSdG .
