Emiliano García‑Page faces criticism over PSOE’s internal crisis

A Spanish opinion article contends that the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) is confronting a severe internal crisis. It links the party’s difficulties to broader European socialist decline, noting the disappearance of Italian and French socialist parties and the weakened position of Germany’s SPD. The piece argues that regional president Emiliano García‑Page’s media attacks and the perceived passivity of party figure Ferraz undermine the PSOE’s cohesion. It describes internal tensions as resembling a “sect” and quotes the author’s remark that “los búnkeres son una prisión, en terminología actual, una sauna.” The article suggests that without changes in leadership and strategy, the PSOE may struggle to maintain its electoral dominance in Spain.
