At its Federal Committee meeting yesterday, the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) renewed its Federal Executive Commission and overwhelmingly approved a package of 13 measures aimed at increasing internal transparency and preventing further corruption scandals, amid internal tensions sparked by criticism from Emiliano Garc\u00eda-Page.<\/p>\n
Pedro S\u00e1nchez, Secretary General of the PSOE and Prime Minister of Spain, opened the meeting with an emotional speech in which he admitted he felt \u201cwith a heavy heart\u201d following the scandal that led to the pre-trial detention of former Organization Secretary Santos Cerd\u00e1n. In his address, S\u00e1nchez reaffirmed his leadership as \u201ccaptain of this ship\u201d and rejected calls to resign, stating that he remains \u201cfully determined\u201d to continue leading the party.<\/p>\n
The Committee approved a 13-point anti-corruption package. Key measures include random asset checks for senior officials, a \u201cdual signature\u201d system for financial decisions, strict deadlines for resolving disciplinary actions, strengthening the transparency portal, a secure anonymous whistleblower channel, and enhanced powers for external audits and the party\u2019s Ethics Commission to act on its own initiative.<\/p>\n
The PSOE’s leadership was almost entirely overhauled: Francisco Salazar resigned as Deputy Executive member following accusations of inappropriate conduct, while most of the new leadership positions were approved by 315 votes in favor and just one against. Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas Montero was confirmed as Deputy Secretary General, and Juanfran Serrano retained his role in Municipal Policy. The new Executive received support from regional groups such as PSIB, although Garc\u00eda-Page insisted the measures were insufficient and called on S\u00e1nchez to seek a vote of confidence or call early elections.<\/p>\n
The meeting concluded with a dual message: on one hand, a PSOE united and determined to confront the crisis through concrete reforms and a renewed leadership structure; on the other, dissenting voices that questioned whether the measures go far enough and cast doubt on S\u00e1nchez\u2019s future leadership.<\/p>\n
