• Politics Juan Espadas defeats Susana Díaz in the primaries of the PSOE of Andalusia

The Andalusian PSOE has already begun the change in the institutions that will make visible the opening of a new stage with Juan Espadas at the helm, after defeating Susana Díaz in the primaries last Sunday. After a first meeting between the mayor of Seville and the former president of the Board, the PSOE-A has decided to appoint the deputy for Jaén

Ángeles Férriz

as the

spokesperson for the parliamentary group

, while

María Márquez, Gerardo Sánchez and Araceli Maese

will be appointed spokespersons attachments.

The relief will be approved at a meeting of the permanent commission of the executive to be held this Monday and it will be transferred to the parliamentary group urgently so that the changes are made effective

in the plenary

session

next week

, where Ángeles Férriz will be the one that makes the question of the Socialist Group to the president of the Board, Juanma Moreno, during the control session to the government.

In this first contact between Susana Díaz and Juan Espadas, the question of whether or not the general secretary will resign from her positions has not been resolved, as some voices have been suggesting to her and as is the wish of the party's federal leadership, to avoid the internal friction that a two-headed leadership could cause, with

a retired Susana Díaz

but with the capacity to short-circuit, in her capacity as general secretary, the new strategies and appointments that Espadas puts in place.

Sources from the Espadas team reported this Friday that the objective of this first meeting with Susana Díaz was to raise the changes in the parliamentary group, postponing other decisions related to the replacement to subsequent meetings.

The interview took place in a "

climate of cordiality and mutual collaboration

, as was stated by both on the same election night," according to the Espadas environment.

Susana Díaz has conveyed to Juan Espadas "her total willingness to

carry out this transition process as soon as possible

, as well as the rest of the changes in the parliamentary group, so that in the coming days they will continue to advance on these issues," added the same sources.

Ángeles Férriz (43 years old) is a native of

La Carolina (Jaén)

, where she was mayor in 2007. She has been a deputy since March 2015 and was currently also a spokesperson for the Andalusian PSOE executive.

In fact, Susana Díaz promoted her among the new faces of the party in the internal renewal she did after failing against Pedro Sánchez in the 2017 primaries.

But her good relationship with the deputy did not last long and she soon separated her from her circle of trust, returning the leading role in the external communication of the party to

Juan Cornejo

, Secretary of Organization and right hand of Susana Díaz in San Vicente (headquarters of the Andalusian PSOE) .

For her part,

María Márquez

is a psychologist and one of the youngest deputies of the Chamber, aged 31, and a native of San Juan del Puerto (Huelva);

while

Gerardo Sánchez

(56 years old) is a native of Armilla, where he was mayor (2007-2018), and an official on leave of absence of the Granada City Council.

Finally,

Araceli Maese

(52 years old) is a native of San Fernando (Cádiz), where he was a councilor for 12 years.
