It has been an afternoon of successive news that have ended up changing the list of the Toledo PSOE to Congress for the general elections on July 23. First it was known that from Madrid the proposal of Castilla-La Mancha was modified to include the acting mayoress of Toledo, Milagros Tolón, as the head of the poster of the socialists for Toledo, relegating Sergio Gutiérrez, Emiliano García’s right-hand man, to position two. -Page in the Castilian-Manchego PSOE

Minutes later, the rectification of Ferraz was communicated and it was reported that finally it will be respected that the Secretary of Organization of the PSOE of Castilla-La Mancha, Sergio Gutiérrez, heads the list of the PSOE to the Congress of Deputies for the province of Toledo, as it progressed Europa Press and has confirmed elDiarioclm.es.

Finally, the acting mayoress of Toledo, Milagros Tolón, will go as ‘number two’ on the list to the Lower House. The decision of the National PSOE Lists Commission, meeting on Friday afternoon, had caused the “discomfort” of the Castilian-Lamancha socialist apparatus. A PSOE source in the autonomous community criticized the fact that Toulon was imposed as head of the list from Madrid and warned that the same situation was taking place in other federations, “causing the same discomfort.”

“Ferraz is changing the lists through impositions, and for what many of us interpret, as personal whims”, indicated socialist sources who also predicted that the Federal Committee scheduled for this Saturday in which the lists will be definitively approved was not going to be ” as peaceful as it should be” and that the Castilian-Manchego PSOE would defend “its interests”.

Training sources in Castilla-La Mancha have explained to elDiarioclm.es which is the only change in the lists of the autonomous community both to Congress and to the Senate of which there is news at this time.

This same afternoon, the general secretary of the Castilian-Manchego PSOE, Emiliano García-Page, thanked “the cordial dialogue with the federal leadership of the PSOE to clarify an error in the head of the list of the candidacy for Toledo.” That, says the elected regional president “allows us to focus on the campaign and on talking about what really interests the public.” He published it on the social network Twitter.

I appreciate the cordial dialogue with the federal leadership of the @PSOE to clarify an error in the head of the list of the candidacy for Toledo, and that allows us to focus on the campaign and to talk about what really interests the public.

Emiliano García-Page is scheduled to attend the Federal Committee of the party in Madrid this Saturday, socialist sources report. The acting mayor of Toledo, Milagros Tolón, will also attend, as confirmed by the mayor’s team and current national vice president of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP).

The lists were unanimously approved by the 300 attendees at the Toledo Provincial Committee this week. Sergio Gutiérrez, according to the original proposal, led the list of the PSOE to Congress for Toledo, as number two was Esther Padilla and who will be displaced from this position by Milagros Tolón.

The following in the candidacy, which must now be ratified by the Federal Committee of the PSOE, were Jesús Mayoral Pérez (Casarrubios del Monte), María José Ruiz Sánchez (Yeles) later, Julián Bolaños Pozo (Villafranca de los Caballeros) and Bárbara Sánchez Izquierdo (Juventudes Socialists). Sources from the Castilian-Manchego PSOE do not confirm at this time how the proposal is after the incorporation of Milagros Tolón.

The Senate approved that the mayor of Illescas, José Manuel Tofiño, would go number one, followed by María Montserrat Muro Martín (Talavera de la Reina) and María Luisa Rodríguez (Consuegra).

Tolón won the municipal elections again on May 28, but will be left without the Toledo Mayor’s Office by virtue of the foreseeable pact between PP and Vox that will grant the baton of command to the ‘popular’ Carlos Velázquez.
