Susana Díaz will cease to be the general secretary of the PSOE of Andalusia on July 23 or, at the latest, on September 5. These are the two dates marked in red in the calendar that the former president of the Board and the mayor of Seville and winner of the primaries for the Presidency of the Board, Juan Espadas, have agreed to call a new internal process, this time to elect to the new general secretary of the largest socialist federation and thus culminate the renewal process that began on June 13.
As Diaz and Espadas have announced in a joint appearance at the regional headquarters of the PSOE-A, in Seville, the agreed formula to carry out this transition passes through the convocation of the Party's Steering Committee, the highest body between congresses, on the next 12 of July. At that meeting, and after the intervention of the still secretary general, the process of primaries will be activated to elect the new leader of Andalusian socialism, which were initially going to take place shortly before the regional congress, scheduled for autumn and which does maintain its date.
The formal process will be the one set out in the statutes, with the collection and presentation of endorsements between July 14 and 23 and presentation of candidacies and campaign in the following days and during the month of August, with the vote on September 5 .
Although everything is thought with a single candidate, Espadas himself, after Susana Díaz discarded him the same day of his defeat.
If that script is fulfilled, if no one comes out to dispute the mayor of Seville, the General Secretariat of the party, the deadlines would be much shorter and on the same July 23, the new leader of the Andalusian PSOE would be appointed by acclamation.
In the roadmap agreed by Díaz y Espadas, the appearance of an alternative candidate is a mere highly improbable hypothesis and everything has been designed thinking that the formal takeover of the party by the mayor of Seville is little more than a formality.
Thus, in just under a month, Juan Espadas would already have the official control of the Andalusian PSOE free hands to organize the autumn regional congress through a committee that he would appoint directly.
Of course, Espadas would be secretary general from July 23 but there would be no new regional executive until the celebration of that congress, which means that the current one, Susana Díaz's team, would remain, at least formally, in their positions.
Regarding the future of Díaz, little or nothing has clarified the two socialist leaders.
For now, the former president of the Board will continue to be a regional parliamentarian, as she herself has been in charge of confirming when asked.
"I will be in the next plenary session, working and helping," he remarked after reiterating that he has been, is and will always be "at the disposal of my party", to which he has declared himself absolutely loyal.
