The internal struggle within the PSOE of Alcalá de Henares has reached a new level, featuring cross-accusations, media leaks, and a growing battle for control of the political narrative.

The crisis within the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in Alcalá de Henares has moved beyond internal meetings and press releases, evolving into an open media confrontation. Every statement and leak contributes to a war over the future of Complutense socialism.
The interim management committee has maintained that the public conflict only benefits the current municipal government, formed by the PP and Vox. The committee's president, Cristina González, stated that the reconstruction process following the former general secretary's resignation requires time, stability, and discretion, and that recent events only prolong the reorganization.

"The problem is much deeper, and we are here to solve it. Of course, issues like yesterday's only serve to further delay the process."

The “Plan B” mobilization, held after the closure of the socialist headquarters, revealed deep discontent among party members. Over 170 affiliates demanded an immediate assembly and primaries in an alternative venue. Simultaneously, information began circulating about disciplinary proceedings and alleged irregularities linked to the critical faction.
The coordinated appearance of these reports in national and local media, some linked to the municipal government, has sparked outrage. Many members consider it serious that internal matters become media ammunition, especially when leaks come from outlets with an editorial line hostile to the PSOE and the Spanish Government.
The interim committee has criticized the public exposure of the conflict, arguing that “making these public statements only benefits the right and the disastrous government of Judith Piquet.” The priority, according to the committee, is to restore the party's political and social utility, beyond internal disputes.
In this context, the interim committee announced an information campaign on the migrant regularization process promoted by the Spanish Government, establishing an advisory point at the socialist municipal group in the City Council. Concerns about the 2027 municipal elections and the risk of the party being fractured for the electoral contest loom over the conflict, with two distinct party models clashing.
