Overview
- The PSOE’s Lugo provincial committee approved López by acclamation after a proposal from the gestora led by Luis Ángel Lago Lage.
- Her candidacy now goes to the PSdeG executive and the PSOE Lists Committee in Ferraz, with Madrid leadership reported to support her.
- The investiture vote is set for 14 January, when the PP will also field a candidate and the presidency defaults to the most‑voted party if no one reaches 13 deputies.
- The PSOE plans negotiations with the BNG to secure support, while nationalist deputy Efrén Castro holds the post in an acting capacity.
- López serves as Burela’s mayor and the province’s economy and finance deputy, and would succeed José Tomé, who resigned after sexual‑harassment accusations.
