The government crisis executed by Pedro Sánchez has collateral effects. The depth of it and the fact that names such as Carmen Calvo or José Luis Ábalos have fallen have sown restlessness, nervousness in the party. Until now, the Minister of Transport will communicate his decision on his position as Secretary of Organization in the next few days, although the party already works without him. Adriana Lastra, deputy secretary general, adds "plenipotentiary" powers and takes the reins of the party, relying on Santos Cerdán, secretary of Territorial Coordination, until the remodeling of the socialist leadership in the Federal Congress in October that Sánchez will do.

Although in the PSOE they give Ábalos room to manage the times of his departure, the party seeks that the machinery does not get stuck and is already working to reactivate the formation in these months, now that the party gains weight in the Government, and of face to the Federal Congress. Lastra, who was already the lieutenant in the party "assumes the direction of everything in the party until Congress," explain socialist sources. He will spend more time in Ferraz with that purpose of reactivating the political project.

This reinforcement of his figure is agreed with Sánchez. When he reached La Moncloa, he decided that Lastra would remain in the party as

number two

and in Congress as spokesman to lead the negotiations with the rest of the party. His work was key in the investiture votes. Now, in the crisis of the Government, the head of the Executive has chosen not to make room for him in the Council of Ministers and delegate these months of transition to her, after which Sánchez has decided to carry out a major remodeling of the socialist leadership, reducing the number of members of the Executive and looking for profiles of more political weight.

Along with her, the other important figure in this transition until October is that of Santos Cerdán.

He already exerted de facto as number two of Organization and now he will expand his field of action, especially with a view to the organization of the Federal Congress.

Cerdán already carried out an important job in the internal life of the formation, being the prop of decisions, movements and agreements.

In the game, he places him as a decisive factor in the turn in Andalusia with the victory and consolidation of Juan Espadas as regional leader to the detriment of Susana Díaz.
