Overview
- Ferraz appointed Government delegate José Luis Quintana to preside over a Commission Gestora for the PSOE in Extremadura after the regional leadership resigned.
- The caretaker body will ensure organizational functioning and oversee internal processes until an Extraordinary Regional Congress elects a new regional executive.
- The gestora includes eight members: María José Pulido Pérez, Gonzalo Romero Barba, Carmen Yáñez Quirós, Pablo Iglesias Ordóñez, Ana María Fernández Rodríguez, José María Ramírez Morán and Irene Pozas García.
- Reporting describes the move as an assertion of central control designed to head off an abstention that could enable PP leader María Guardiola to govern.
- Quintana will be the PSOE’s point person in negotiations with Guardiola on the formation of the Assembly of Extremadura and the presidency of the regional government.
