The management of primary processes within the PSOE in Madrid has sparked internal tensions due to the uneven application of organizational criteria across various local branches in the region.

The controversy centers on the banning of a presentation event for a critical candidacy in Alcalá de Henares. The local management committee cited the lack of an officially approved calendar by federal bodies to block the meeting, which was scheduled for June 30.
This decision has been questioned as it contrasts with the situation in other parts of the Community of Madrid. In the capital, several figures have announced their intention to run in the primaries without facing similar restrictions, leading some party members to denounce a double standard.
The conflict has moved beyond the municipal level, reaching the party's regional leadership. The approval of the calendar by the Federal Executive Commission, expected this weekend, adds pressure regarding the handling of deadlines and the consistency of decisions made by provisional leadership bodies.
