The PSOE of Cantabria is divided into two. The secretary general, Pablo Zuloaga, has narrowly won the primaries to lead the list of delegates from the region to the federal congress. Part that led by the mayor of Castro Urdiales, Susana Herránand led by the deputy of the country and member of the federation, Pedro Casares, won with 51% of the votes compared to 49%. About thirty votes differ. The results that encourage those who want to replace the secretary general in the primaries after the congress held in Seville, between November 29 and December 1.
If the opposition’s refusal to accept the joint list, as in many organizations, has already caused an earthquake in the society, the fact that the regional leadership has opposed the polling station has added to the tremor. From independent leadership they say that on the table votes were cast from the “non-military” population..
Ferraz sees the candidate as a “temporary” winner to lead the list of delegates in the federal Congress. If a crisis occurs, he explains, the confirmation committee in Cantabria must first move and dissolve the federation. Meanwhile, According to the same sources, no problem has been reported to the federal administration.
The management of the Cantabrian organization insists that it should be Ferraz who chooses and confirms for their part that they submitted their objections last night. In the middle, the opponents have already said that they will win. “The word is the word of Jehovah.” The PSOE of Cantabria has spoken and Susana Herrán has won “confirmed the leader of this, Pedro Casares, through the Internet of X.
The eyes of Zuloaga’s opponents are on the first quarter of 2025, when the regional assembly is being prepared.

Although this image was one of unity, the Cantabrian organization has been facing internal problems for some time, as the sources of both parties agree. And now, as soon as the executive branch leaves and the congressional process opens, there is a commitment confirming the idea that “militancy chooses”. Zuloaga’s alternative approach adheres to this, which claims to have a long history of the sector with two major groups: Santander and Castro Urdiales.
In fact, the capital is where the largest collection took place, with 80% participation, compared to about 60%. The “temporary winner” of these primaries already realized after the votes that this was only the first stage in the battle to control the federation. “Today nothing ends, everything begins making the PSOE in Cantabria have a clear and strong voice to respond to the needs of Cantabrians,” he said after learning the results.
