Overview

  • Pedro Sánchez reiterated in a Bloomberg interview in New York that he will lead the PSOE into the 2027 general election.
  • PSOE headquarters view Sánchez as the party’s strongest asset, and Catalan leader Salvador Illa publicly backed his intention to run again.
  • More than 50 ex-PSOE officials and critics, including Jordi Sevilla, met in Madrid and agreed to begin building a platform to promote a leadership alternative.
  • Participants argued the government is in a “fase terminal” and contend Sánchez is positioning loyal ministers as regional candidates to cement control of party federations.
  • Sánchez’s insistence on a 2027 timetable signals no early election, shaping internal maneuvering ahead of regional contests expected in early 2026 and a broader 2027 cycle.
