SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 10 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general secretary of the PSOE Canarias and acting president of the regional government, Ángel Víctor Torres, has affirmed that the Federal Committee this Saturday does not represent the ‘full stop’ for Pedro Sánchez and makes it clear that it is the Spanish who on the 23rd of July, the day of General Elections, they will have to issue a “sentence”.
This has been expressed upon his arrival at the PSOE Federal Committee in Ferraz, where he has been questioned about the complaints of some federations and the absence of certain ‘barons’ such as the acting president of Aragon, Javier Lambán, and the president of Castilla- La Mancha, Emiliano Garcia Page.
Ángel Víctor Torres has clarified that there have been other committees where Javier Lambán and Emiliano García Page have not attended “for various reasons, agenda and other” and considers that they are the ones who have to say why they could not come today . In any case, he did want to show his “maximum respect” to “those who are and those who cannot or have not come.”
Asked if today’s Federal Committee represents the ‘finish’ for Pedro Sánchez at the head of the PSOE General Secretariat, Torres is clear: “No. We are before a committee in which we are going to approve our candidacies for a fundamental appointment. From there, the word, the voice, the opinion and the sentence are held by the Spaniards.”
The leader of the Canarian socialists stressed that on July 23 the public will have to decide between a country that has made progress in social protection, with measures such as the increase in the minimum wage or the minimum vital income, and other models such as the one proposed PP and VOX. “That is what is at stake. The important thing is that we give the voice and the vote to the Spanish men and women,” he reiterated.
