The entire PSOE list from Palencia resigns for Congress after Ferraz changes its number one candidate

On October 19, in Palencia, Spain, the entire slate of candidates proposed by the local PSOE membership for the upcoming Congress elections resigned in protest. The mass resignation followed a decision by the party's federal leadership, known as Ferraz, to replace the local candidate, Álvaro Bilbao, at the top of the list with a veteran politician. The move was ratified by the party's Federal Committee despite the local organization's prior proposal. This action marks a significant internal conflict between the local Palencia branch and the national party leadership regarding candidate selection.
