They continue to have a leading role although they are no longer the protagonists they were. The remodeling of the Government and the PSOE that Pedro Sánchez has promoted has caused historical leaders of the formation to be now on the side of the road. Heavyweights such as Carmen Calvo, José Luis Ábalos or Susana Díaz are present in the party's federal congress with an unimaginable profile just a few months ago. Ábalos, who was Secretary of Organization and Minister, attends the meeting as one more militant. "This is the first congress in 27 years that I have not even come as a delegate."

One of the people who worked in the preparation of this congress and who was decisive for its being held in

Valencia

is Ábalos. His departure from the government and the party is still surrounded by unknowns and unanswered questions for many in the party. The one who was

number 3

of the PSOE has not yet spoken with Sánchez since July 10, when the president told him in his office that he was not still in the Executive.

Ábalos, like Calvo or Díaz, avoid putting any type of gasoline on the fire. They follow the dogma that prevails in this PSOE congress: unity, row with Sánchez. But the residue of who they were remains. Ábalos received yesterday in

Burjassot

, very close to the socialist conclave, the tribute of some faithful. "Today is being a very special day for me, for feeling the recognition of the PSPV colleagues who have given me so much satisfaction," wrote Ábalos himself on his social networks.

Would you have liked a recognition from the party? They asked you this morning.

"I do not need anything, we are all here to serve and if we have a clear conscience of having served, that is the greatest recognition that one can have", has been his message.

"When I come to Valencia I always have dinner with friends. I'm from here even though it may not seem like it to some," was another of his darts.

Bald, cheered

Carmen Calvo

also monopolizes attention

. She is the only former who participates in the federal congress. He did so on Friday at a round table on feminism, where Pedro Sánchez was disfigured by the assignments that have been made to United We Can in this matter, fundamentally with regard to the trans law, which was approved against his will, Calvo left the Government shortly after Sánchez endorsed the position of the purple and the regulations were promoted.

The former first vice president received what has so far been the great ovation of the conclave, with the militancy standing up applauding. It is "good" that people know that politicians are "normal and ordinary" citizens, said this Saturday Calvo, who has been described as a "rare bird" in politics. On the applause of the militancy, he received them "from heart to heart" and valued it very much because he has spent all his life in feminism and in Andalusian and Spanish socialism. Calvo has arrived at the conclave accompanying

Juan Espadas

, the new leader of the Andalusian PSOE.

That role, until a few months ago, corresponded to

Susana Díaz

.

She goes to the appointment without being a baroness.

His refuge is now in the Senate.

She has spoken with Pedro Sánchez.

The last time he did it was seven or eight days ago, to comment on this quote.

"The president is delighted that I am here and I am delighted that the president is delighted that I am here," he said.
