Pedro Sánchez, the Secretary General of the PSOE, has announced significant changes in the party’s leadership following the imprisonment of Santos Cerdán, who was involved in a corruption scandal. Rebeca Torró has been appointed as the new Secretary of Organisation, making her the second woman to occupy this role after Leire Pajín. Torró has previously served as the Secretary of State for Industry and has a strong background in politics and public service.

In addition to Torró’s appointment, Montserrat Mínguez has been designated as the new spokesperson for the PSOE, replacing Esther Peña. The reshuffle also includes the appointment of three new deputies to the Organisation, aiming to instil fresh perspectives and reinforce the party’s commitment to transparency and accountability in the wake of recent events.

Sánchez’s decision to appoint women to key positions reflects a continued dedication to feminism within the party, especially given the recent controversies involving male leaders. This move is positioned as a way to move past the issues related to Cerdán and to establish a new direction for the PSOE.

Further official announcements regarding these appointments will occur during the PSOE Federal Committee meeting scheduled for this Saturday, ensuring that the party can address its organisational changes comprehensively and transparently.
