Óscar López, the Minister for Digital Transformation, is set to become the new Secretary General of the PSOE in Madrid.

This move follows the resignation of Juan Lobato, who stepped down amid controversy involving leaked documents.

López, a close ally of Pedro Sánchez, is expected to be the sole candidate in the upcoming primaries, solidifying his leadership role.

His candidacy is seen as a strategic move to challenge Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the current President of the Community of Madrid.

The announcement is anticipated to be made official this Thursday, marking a new chapter for the PSOE in the region.
