PSOE debate

The 3 candidates in the running to lead the PSOE are sizing each other up

There are six days until the vote for the new leader of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party)Susana DíazPedro Sánchez and Patxi López are sizing each other up in a debate, which is tense at times, on the direction that their party must take... A party that has to be wanted and respected, said the Andalusian candidate, who has argued that she is the one that best suits the PSOE because she can "win" elections from the Partido Popular... She has also appealed for the need to unite the party.

After the three candidates greeted each other, and the anticipation of seeing Díaz and Sánchez together the debate started in which Andalusia was somewhat present.  Pedro Sánchez accused the Andalusian President of being the favourite for PP voters. She denies this accusation, claiming that it depends on who wins the elections. However, Patxi López, did not want to let the subject drop, asserting his role as lehendakari (President of the Basque Government).

Susana Díaz also added that if she ends up being the Secretary General rather than winning, she will walk away quietly. The same debate as always on the abstention of Rajoy continues. The Andalusian President has accused Sánchez of not having credibility and condemns him for a lack of loyalty.

All of them have requested the vote from the militant Sánchez while winking at López to join their plan, he says that he would integrate everyone as Díaz has always asked for unity.
