FOTODELDÍA MADRID, 12/06/2025.- El presidente del Gobierno y líder del PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, ha admitido que los socialistas no debieron confiar en su hasta ahora secretario de Organización, Santos Cerdán, cuya dimisión le ha exigido al conocer el informe de la UCO que le implica en supuestos casos de corrupción y ha asegurado que "aunque la decepción es grande, la respuesta será siempre contundente", durante la rueda de prensa ofrecida este jueves en la sede del partido.

more than thirty former senior PSOE officials have sent a letter to the party's general secretary, Pedro Sánchez, asking him to resign and convene an extraordinary congress. Among the signatories areformer PSE-EE leaders Nicolás Redondo and Javier Rojo, and former Minister José Barrionuevo O and former Secretary of State for Security .

In the letter, to which the information agencies have had access, the signatories express their "deep concern "aboutthe "serious wear and tear that the continuing scandals affecting the current leadership of the party are causing."

"To the cases of corruption linked to your trusted persons, the last two secretaries of organization, we must add theterrible political decisions  that have led to a real change in our Constitution. "

These include the "unjustified" extension of State budgets, the "gradual exclusion of the legislature", the erosion of the rule of law, the discretionary exercise of executive power, the occupation of State control bodies, and "opaque" negotiations on the amnesty law.

In view of all this,theyconsider it urgent  to profoundly revitalize the PSOE, and have therefore asked Sanchez to resign immediately from his position as Secretary-General and to convene a management committee to act until an extraordinary congress is held.

In addition to Redondo, Rojo, Vera and Barrionuevo, former ministers César Antonio Molina and Javier Saenz Cosculluela, former deputies Alejandro Cercas, José María Mohedano and Elena Flores, and former General Secretary of the Madrid Socialists Tomás Gómez are among the signatories of the letter.
