The PSOE of Castilla y León has sparked a significant political stir by approving a primary election schedule that defies the national leadership's timeline.

With 105 votes in favor and 14 against, the regional committee decided to proceed with the election of their secretary general before the Federal Congress in November.

This move is seen as a challenge to the national direction, which preferred to delay such processes until after the Congress.

Luis Tudanca, the current secretary general, is expected to run for re-election, although he has not officially confirmed his candidacy.

The decision has caused tension between the regional and national branches, with the latter considering whether the move violates party statutes.

The primary elections are set for November 9, with a potential second round on November 16, if needed.

This development highlights the ongoing power dynamics within the PSOE as it prepares for its upcoming Federal Congress.
