Óscar López is set to become the new Secretary General of the PSOE in Madrid, marking a significant shift in the party's strategy.

López plans to adopt a bold left-wing approach, contrasting with his predecessor Juan Lobato's centrist policies.

Pilar Sánchez Acera, a trusted ally, is expected to play a key role in the party's reorganization, despite past controversies.

López's leadership aims to challenge the dominance of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the current Madrid president, with a focus on housing, education, and public health.

The congress this weekend will also feature prominent figures like Salvador Illa and Francisca Sauquillo, signaling strong support for López's vision.

The PSOE hopes this new direction will revitalize its presence in Madrid, a region it hasn't governed in 30 years.
