• 23-J Podemos "guarantees" that it will go with Sumar, but still demands a "fair agreement" to lift the veto to Irene Montero

The apparent closing of ranks in the PSOE after the debacle of the municipal and regional elections until after the celebration of the generals on July 23 has jumped this Friday through the air.

The leadership of the party has modified the lists to Congress sent by Castilla-La Mancha relegating to number two for Toledo to Sergio Gutiérrez, the right hand of the president, Emiliano García-Page, to place in his place the until now mayor of the capital, Milagros Tolón, whose name did not appear on the ballot sent by the regional party, as confirmed by sources of the same.

In the team of the only socialist baron that achieved an absolute majority, they emphasize that there is "a lot of discomfort" both in their federation and in others because of the changes of names that they interpret as "personal whims".

"The lists were approved unanimously in the Provincial Committee with more than 300 attendees from the province of Toledo representing 90% of the local groups," they stress in the PSOE Castilla-La Mancha.

Discrepancies

Page has always been the regional leader who has spoken loudest and clearest against many measures adopted by the Government of Pedro Sánchez, such as the repeal of the crime of sedition and the reduction of penalties for embezzlement, and alliances with its partners. "I declare myself autonomous, I have no boss," he has come to proclaim on occasion to distance himself from Ferraz.

The mayor of Toledo, on the other hand, has maintained loyalty to the president even though she has publicly lamented the "mistake" of the law of only yes is yes, which has allowed the reduction of sentences to more than a thousand sex offenders. Toulon won the elections of 28-M with 11 councilors, but the sum of the votes of PP (nine) and Vox (four) will prevent him from revalidating his mandate when the City Council is constituted next Saturday.

List Commission

In the national direction of the PSOE have defended this week that what the different federations send them are "proposals" of candidacies to the Congress and the Senate for the 23-J, but that it is the Commission of Lists that has met this Friday the one that decides its final composition.

With this argument they justified that Pilar Alegría would be the number one for Zaragoza with or without the approval of the party in Aragon, which did not plan to include her.

The List Commission in which the final composition of the list has been decided is composed of the deputy secretary general of the party, María Jesús Montero; the Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán; the Secretary of Municipal Policy, Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis; the Secretary of Equality, Andrea Fernández, and a member of each federation.
