The PSOE Executive appoints Rebeca Torró as new spokesperson after the resignation of Montse Mínguez

The Federal Executive of the PSOE has appointed the Secretary of Organization of the PSOE Rebeca Torró as the party's new spokesperson, following the resignation the day before of Montse Mínguez, in the midst of controversy over her partner's real estate businesses.

The Executive, meeting this Saturday in Fuenlabrada (Madrid) where the Federal Committee that will ratify the electoral lists for the general elections on November 29 will hold, has also filled the rest of the positions left vacant by Mínguez in the party leadership.

Thus, he has appointed the president of PSOE, Cristina Narbona, as the new Secretary of Studies and Programs and the until now deputy Javier Alfonso Cendón, the new Secretary General of the Socialist Parliamentary Group.

Mínguez announced the news of his resignation this Friday through a statement on social networks in which he announced that he was taking "a step back" with "a clear conscience, his head held high and his fidelity intact" to his principles.

"We are living in a decisive moment. A crucial moment for our country and for the values ​​we defend. When the extreme right knocks on the doors and tries to question social advances, rights and consensus that have taken years to build, our responsibility must be above any personal consideration," defended Mínguez.

After his decision, the PSOE praised his "impeccable career as a socialist" and thanked him for his "dedication and commitment", the "passion" with which he has defended socialist values ​​in all his public interventions and his "coherence" when voting in accordance with his principles.
