Overview
- IS-PSOE-CLM formally asked regional leader Emiliano García-Page to remove Sara Simón or secure her resignation, warning it will take the case to the PSOE’s Comité de Garantías if there is no action.
- Sara Simón issued a public apology and full retraction of her remarks, describing them as a personal error and stressing that no one prompted her statements.
- Her original comments suggested unexplained surges of participants in some local groups during the 2017 primaries, a claim the Guadalajara PSOE rejected before Simón walked it back.
- PP regional secretary Carolina Agudo demanded immediate action from García-Page, arguing that Simón should be dismissed if she lied or that any alleged irregularities be taken to court if true.
- The remarks were made in the context of PSOE equality officials meeting about internal harassment complaints linked to ex-adviser Francisco Salazar, and García-Page has not announced a decision.
