Municipalities in which the city council has very few councilors, and where one vote can change everything, the election of the candidate will correspond to the local executive, without going through the process of primaries. In spring the regional ones, in autumn the general ones In recent days, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba's intention to delay the holding of primaries to elect a PSOE candidate for the general elections has been published in national newspapers . The newspapers claimed that the calling of internal elections at the regional level was a strategy for this purpose. The sources consulted by this confidentiality deny this thesis, ensuring that the general secretary always proposed that the national primaries be held in 2014. Specifically, it has been established that they will take place in the fall, while the regional ones will take place this spring. . PSOE leaders also deny that the referendum in Catalonia influenced the holding of these primaries. They assure that “our calendar cannot depend on Artur Mas . ”We don't need anyone to tell us anything about primaries, but Simancas…” these sources insist. Gómez's entourage wants to downplay Menéndez's words and close a controversy that should not have been opened.
It was a simple misunderstanding. Either Maru Menéndez expressed himself poorly or he was misunderstood,” they explain from the Plaza de Callao in Madrid. “ Of course there will be primaries . What Menéndez meant is that Tomás' leadership is so clear and s Phone Number List o strong, they are not necessary. But if there is another candidate, there will be, of course,” they explain. Critics of Gómez also want to close ranks and forget the misunderstanding. “We have already done two primary processes. Nobody is going to teach us how to do them. What we have to do is wait until January 18 for the Federal Committee to tell us how we have to do them. And if there is a second candidate, they will be done,” explain Madrid socialists far from Gómez.The regulations of the Cortes establish that proposals from the autonomous communities will be processed in order of arrival to the Chamber, and now, the legislative project that will be debated is the reform of the Statute of Autonomy of Castilla-La Mancha. This is what authorized voices from CiU acknowledge to this newspaper, who point out the month of September as “the most likely” for the draft approved in Parliament to be debated in Madrid.

However, from the Generalitat, and from the Convergencia i Unió itself, they are already preparing an alternative plan to advance the processing in Congress. CiU, ERC and ICV bill proposal According to the sources consulted, the CiU parliamentary group, together with ERC (of the Mixed Group) and ICV (of La Izquierda Plural) are going to present, in the coming days, the same text approved in the Parliament, but as a bill of law. these parties in the Chamber . In this way, "the debate on calling the referendum in Catalonia will begin in Madrid in March at the latest , without having to wait for Congress to approve the reform of the Statute of Castilla-La Mancha." Thus, the Lower House will debate, twice, whether the Government should transfer to Catalonia the necessary powers so that the Generalitat can hold the self-determination consultation that Artur Mas, unilaterally, has called on November 9. While waiting for this parliamentary procedure, CiU hopes that, with the return of the plenary sessions to Congress, there can be a “rapprochement” with the PP on this matter: “Until now nothing has been able to be negotiated on this matter in the Camera. With the bill, we will at least bring the matter to the hemicycle .
