The forcefulness of the defeat invalidated the hot cloths that were intended to be put on. The result of the Madrid elections is such a severe blow that the national leadership of the PSOE, led by Pedro Sánchez, was forced to assume failure. "We have not managed to focus our message"; "we have not been able to connect with a state of mind"; "We can fail in communication, in the offer of the political project" ... They were the messages that came from Ferraz, National Socialist headquarters, before a campaign assumed and directed from La Moncloa. However, the seriousness of the defeat will not mean that Sánchez changes the direction of the Government.

The 4-M worries, worries and indigestible to the PSOE. Proof of this is the decision to precipitate the primaries in Andalusia, fearing that an electoral advance will leave them without margin as happened in Madrid, and despite the fact that this means opening an internal fight with Susana Díaz that, in any case, will allow Ferraz to blur the focus of what happened in Madrid. But this Thursday, before his Executive, forced by the verdict at the polls, Sánchez had to acknowledge the failure of his project in Madrid. The open wound forces him to be knocked down and start from scratch.

"A new time is opening in the organization of Madrid", has sentenced José Luis Ábalos, secretary of Organization of the PSOE, after the meeting of the Federal Executive Commission that has analyzed the electoral results.

That "new time" means that José Manuel Franco, until now regional secretary general, left his post this Thursday, and that Ángel Gabilondo, the socialist candidate, did not collect his minutes and abandon the socialist discipline in Madrid.

Sánchez wants to "strengthen the party structure" and "improve parliamentary action."

One of the names that have the endorsement of the President of the Government to resuscitate the Madrid project is Juan Lobato, former mayor of Soto del Real and who already disputed the leadership in this community in 2017.

But the 'shock' that the "unexpected" result "in Madrid has caused in the PSOE, and that within the formation they assume as a" warning "to the Prime Minister, will not make Sánchez change the course of the coalition. "The results of these elections are not going to condition the government's policy," Ábalos said.

In La Moncloa they discard changes, as they consider that the priority is to end the vaccination process and that 140,000 million European funds begin to arrive to change the socioeconomic scenario.

And then another screen will open to study.
