Overview
- More than 50 longtime PSOE feminists released a manifesto urging party leaders to convene a Federal Conference on Equality in 2026.
- The petition asks Rebeca Torró and Pilar Bernabé to activate Article 48 of the party’s statutes to start preparations in line with a 41st Federal Congress resolution.
- Signatories include Ángeles Álvarez, Elena Valenciano, Amelia Valcárcel, Rosa Conde and Matilde Fernández, with the document open to additional endorsements.
- The text calls for investigations and consequences for abuses and sexist behavior by party officials under internal rules and the law, citing recent harassment scandals.
- The authors accuse the leadership of sidelining equality bodies and failing to answer attacks on feminism, warn of a deepening fracture with feminist groups, and caution that losing women’s trust could cost the PSOE its electoral edge.
