What happened
The Federal Committee confirms Sánchez and the Congress and Senate candidacies. Torró succeeds Montse Mínguez, while Cristina Morón becomes the proposed PSC list leader in Lleida.
The Federal Committee meeting in Fuenlabrada on 17 October ratified the 29 November lists and unanimously designated Pedro Sánchez as the party’s candidate. RTVE and RTVC/EFE place this after Friday’s Federal Lists Commission approval. The leadership says women lead 52% of its Congress candidacies.
Following Montse Mínguez’s resignation on the 16th, Rebeca Torró takes the spokesperson role, Cristina Narbona Studies and Programmes, and Javier Alfonso Cendón the Socialist Congress group’s general secretariat. RTVE identifies Cristina Morón Molina as the newly proposed PSC lead candidate in Lleida.
