The Andalusian branch of Spain's Socialist Party (PSOE) is experiencing significant internal strife as calls for leadership change intensify.

Juan Espadas, the current secretary general, faces mounting pressure from within the party, particularly from the Cádiz delegation, which has been excluded from key meetings.

This exclusion has sparked discontent among critics who argue for a leadership renewal.

The upcoming regional congress, expected in February, may see a challenge to Espadas' leadership, with some party members advocating for a new face to compete against the ruling People's Party in Andalusia.

The situation is further complicated by the broader political context, as the PSOE seeks to project unity at the national level during the 41st Federal Congress.

The outcome of these internal debates could significantly impact the party's future direction in the region.
