The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has chosen
Pablo Fernández
to be the new secretary of Organization of the purple ones after the surprise departure of
Lilith Verstrynge
, who announced last Friday that she was abandoning all her positions, both her responsibilities in the address as the record of deputy in Congress.
Fernández thus becomes the new tenant of a
cursed
position in Podemos. He will be the fifth Secretary of Organization in just over nine years, after
Sergio Pascual
(elected in November 2014),
Pablo Echenique
,
Alberto Rodríguez
and
Verstrynge
.
With this election, Belarra is betting on a person who has been very close to Pablo Iglesias since the beginning of Podemos and who, in addition, has been serving as leader of the
purple
party
in Castilla y León
since the beginning of 2015, when the elections were chosen for the first time. autonomous directions and territorial expansion began.
Likewise, Fernández is a leader who has been assuming more and more responsibilities in the internal life of Podemos. Well, he has been acting as the party's
national co-spokesperson
for some time . A task that he shares with his colleague in the Executive, Isa Serra, who will soon become coordinator in the Community of Madrid.
