  • The PSOE has recorded significant economic growth and increase in GDP during their period of governance.
  • The party faces criticisms and provides the perception of being a 'besieged fortress', due to both internal errors and distortions in political-legal debates.
  • PSOE positions itself as the bulwark of left-wing values in Europe, standing against the far-right.
  • The erosion of the welfare state and increased inequalities are results of adopting neoliberal positions.
  • PSOE has led the ecological transition and promulgation of civil rights and equality policies in Spain.
  • The party has made efforts to reverse socially damaging measures and increase the minimum wage.
  • Despite accomplishments, Spain ranks amongst countries with highest inequality. It's necessary to boost redistribution policies and protect the vulnerable.
  • Resolving the territory crisis and promoting federal coordination is crucial.

Conclusion: The major challenge for social democracy lies in connecting with citizen demands, proposing realistic and ambitious measures, and combating the current inequality.
