The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) is embroiled in internal conflict as the Castilla y León federation clashes with the federal organization over the timing of primary elections.

The federal body, led by Santos Cerdán, suspended the regional primary schedule, which was approved by a significant majority, citing the need to wait until after the 41st Federal Congress in December.

This decision has sparked controversy, with supporters of regional leader Luis Tudanca accusing the federal leadership of undue interference.

The ethics commission acknowledged the ambiguity in the party's statutes, suggesting future clarification.

Despite the tension, Tudanca has accepted the decision, emphasizing his commitment to the party's unity.

The situation highlights the broader challenges within PSOE as it prepares for its upcoming congress.
