A leadership change approved in Fuenlabrada
The PSOE's federal executive has appointed Rebeca Torró, until now the party's organization secretary, to serve as its new spokesperson. The decision was taken at a meeting in Fuenlabrada held shortly before a session of the federal committee, the body that gathers the party's leadership and regional representatives. Torró steps into a role that shapes how the socialists present their positions to the public and to the press.[S1][S5][S7]
The change follows the resignation of Montse Mínguez, who had been the party's spokesperson until she announced her departure on Friday. Her exit came amid a controversy generated by the real-estate business activities of her partner. Mínguez had also held other responsibilities within the party structure, and those positions were redistributed at the same executive meeting.[S1][S3][S4][S6][S8]
Narbona and Cendón take on Mínguez's other posts
Alongside Torró's appointment, the executive agreed that party president Cristina Narbona will take charge of studies and programs. Javier Alfonso Cendón becomes the new general secretary of the socialist parliamentary group in Congress. Both of those roles had been held by Mínguez until she made her resignation public on Friday, so the changes amount to a partial remodeling of the party's federal leadership rather than a single replacement.[S1][S7]
The reorganization leaves Torró combining her new spokesperson duties with the organizational work she already carried out. The executive's decisions were adopted collectively at the Fuenlabrada meeting, and the timing placed them immediately before the federal committee's own gathering, giving the party's wider leadership an early view of the new lineup.[S1][S5]
