Overview
- The visit, which took place Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, had Pedro Sánchez in Noblejas at 12:30 with government delegate José Pablo Sabrido and later joined by Education Minister Milagros Tolón.
- Emiliano García‑Page accompanied Queen Letizia to a long‑planned opening at IES Ribera del Tajo in Talavera while regional officials say they received only a late call from the Delegation of the Government excusing attendance.
- Castilla‑La Mancha publicly protested that Moncloa did not inform the regional government in advance and described the scheduling as an institutional discourtesy.
- The choice of Noblejas amplified the row because its mayor, Agustín Jiménez, is a vocal Sánchez ally who has a public and bitter dispute with García‑Page over a delayed local school project.
- Political commentators say the clash is the latest escalation in a months‑long rift between Sánchez and García‑Page that widened after the central government’s pact with PSC and ERC on financing and that could influence internal PSOE talks this weekend.
