PSOE holds federal committee amid leadership changes and Ceuta crisis

The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is holding an atypical federal committee in Fuenlabrada to ratify candidate lists for the upcoming elections on November 29. The event, described as a pre-election rally, follows the unexpected resignation of Montse Mínguez. The party is also tasked with appointing a new spokesperson to prepare for the general election campaign.

In Ceuta, the party has faced significant challenges following a massive influx of tens of thousands of people starting in late July 2026. This unprecedented situation led to intense political pressure and criticism directed at local leadership, including Miguel Triano, who faced threats and accusations of betrayal during the crisis.
