PSOE Federal Committee grapples with turmoil after Montse Mínguez resigns

During a Federal Committee session in Fuenlabrada, the PSOE approved its electoral slate while barring member interventions and restricting press access. Montse Mínguez resigned from her roles as party spokesperson and secretary of Studies and Programs after a scandal involving her partner Sergi Vélez's ownership of dozens of rental properties and alleged evictions, a contradiction to the party's anti-eviction stance. Sánchez described her departure as a result of personal anguish and political "hate," noting he had asked her not to resign.

The meeting, held at the Centro de Arte Tomás y Valiente, omitted a Q&A segment and limited media presence, framing the gathering as a purely procedural event. The party also used its official X account to defend Mínguez and criticize rival parties. Local mayor Javier Ayala attended alongside Sánchez, underscoring the significance of the venue for the socialist base.
