Cosmética para la supervivencia
July 4, 2025

  • Pedro Sánchez is making leadership changes in the PSOE to protect his political survival and deflect attention from corruption.
  • Praised for internally managing the impact of the corruption plot involving Santos Cerdán, José Luis Ábalos, and Koldo García.
  • Leads a party restructuring, placing less prominent figures like Rebeca Torró in key positions to clean up PSOE's image.
  • The new Secretary of Organization, Torró, and other team members have dubious connections making it difficult for them to isolate from past scandals.
  • Sánchez is attempting to maintain control over the party through his close circle.
  • Sánchez's ambition to stay in power in La Moncloa remains despite his evident illegitimacy.
  • PSOE needs more than a cosmetic restructuring to renew and save its image.

Conclusion: As long as Sánchez continues to lead the PSOE, any attempt at renewal will remain unconvincing, given the persistent lack of responsibility and transparency about corruption in his party.
