Armengol takes refuge in Madrid, but maintains control of the PSIB

Source Summary

Pedro Sánchez will not repeat with Francina Armengol the strategy of entrusting the leadership of regional battles to his most mediatic allies. After the setback of sending the first vice-president and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, to Andalusia and obtaining the lowest result in the party's history in the territory, the president of Congress will remain sheltered in Madrid and will be definitively tied to the PSOE's future in the general elections. In the Balearic Islands, the definitive confirmation that she will not run again in the regional elections has caused an internal upheaval. For this reason, she will remain as general secretary of the PSIB, to control her succession from the apparatus.
