Overview
- Opening the National Committee in Santiago, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro argued he acted with speed and urged complainants to report cases while protecting their anonymity.
- He detailed the party’s response to the cases involving José Tomé and Barbadás mayor Xosé Carlos Valcárcel, but did not address complaints tied to A Coruña that Ferraz is processing.
- The agenda includes the secretary-general’s report, approval of party accounts and this year’s budget, and a question period for members to press the leadership on its handling of the crisis.
- Leadership sources say the PSdeG aims to build a municipal front to push the Xunta into negotiating a local financing model, citing pressure on services such as the Servizo de Axuda no Fogar.
- The meeting follows weeks of internal dissent, including a manifesto led by several female mayors and backed by senior figures, criticizing transparency and consistency in handling harassment complaints.
