Politics Espadas avoids the Government of Sánchez in his campaign to the primaries
Andalusia The hard-fought primaries of the PSOE-A: Susana Díaz and Juan Espadas, closer to "what it seems"
If at some point someone in the Andalusian PSOE believed that the primaries would serve to debate party models or future projects, they were wrong.
The socialist campaign has fallen from the first stages over the precipice of personal accusations and revenge, with no possibility of the candidates being credible in a tone other than that of personal struggle.
The call has been perceived in some way as the final battle of the susanato to show Pedro Sánchez that, despite his failure in the 2017 primaries, he continues to have political power. Her refusal to retire and accept some of the destinations that
Ferraz
has offered
her has turned her into a model of resistance, in the way that
Pedro Sánchez
refused to resign himself after his defeat against the barons in 2016. With the manager of the PSOE and All the referents on his side,
Díaz
ended up losing that battle against Sánchez. And next Sunday he intends to take revenge now that he has all the PSOE officials against him.
For now, Susana Díaz is sparing no metaphors to underline the lack of autonomy of her rival, Juan Espadas, whom she has presented as a remote-controlled leader with a "remote control" based in La Moncloa. And he discredits those who support his candidacy as opportunists in search of "carguitos" and "palmeros". But what has raised the most hives in the PSOE has been the reflection of Díaz, who rhetorically asked himself if there are those who want her outside the party leadership because she is a woman.
These thick accusations "piss off" the militancy, point from the environment of Espadas, who regret that the former president of the Board has muddied the debate in this way and given the reason to those who see the primaries as a failed system that only serves to give arguments to the true adversaries, those who are in other political ranks.
But, somehow, also from the circle that supports
Espadas
, Susana
Díaz's right
to be in the process is questioned.
The mayor of Dos Hermanas,
Francisco Toscano
, who served as host at the event with which Espadas officially started his campaign a week ago, complained that Díaz had not voluntarily resigned and his "selfishness" disfigured him.
Criticisms also point to the inability of the secretary general to "sew" what was broken in that internal battle in October 2016. On the contrary, they reproach her for having practiced severe purges in the Andalusian PSOE and having laminated the internal dissent.
THE FINAL RACE
The candidates, in any case, seem to see themselves with preferential rights and see the primaries, not as an opportunity to confront arguments and models, but as a process to which they have been led by the efforts of their rivals not to leave them the expedited path. With the exception of
Luis Ángel Hierro
, the third in the organic race, who silently attends the skinning.
Espadas
eludes, on the one hand, the explicit support of the ministers in campaign events to avoid giving the image of sponsored sanchismo that
Susana Díaz
reiterates. Even those members of the Government who, as Andalusian militants, will vote in the June 13 elections will not participate in the campaign. But, at the same time,
Espadas
lets himself be loved institutionally and uses the Mayor's Office to announce projects or measures served on a platter from the
Sánchez
government
.
After the first week of the campaign, without internal surveys, the only thermometer to measure the options of the rivals is the capacity to call and the level of participation in the events. But the pandemic has made the alibi easy for them not to compete in mass rallies. The Espadas environment is convinced that a high level of mobilization favors it, hence Susana Díaz has resisted mass mailing and has denounced, with a copy to the Data Protection Agency, the
whatsapps
sent to the militancy by of the Espadas team, which has made use of the personal information that the party manages.
Much more comfortable in the liturgy of hugs and emotional resources,
Díaz
lavishes on carantoñas.
While Espadas, less effusive and sentimental, boasts of mood and skills for conciliation and dialogue, fundamental for the integration of all socialist families with a view to the day after, the one in which the entire Andalusian PSOE will necessarily have to row in the same direction to head to the Palacio de San Telmo.
