The general secretary of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has drawn up an intense schedule of rallies for the general campaign of November 29. The socialist leader will travel through La Rioja, Pamplona, Albacete, Barcelona, and the Community of Madrid, where he has at least two key events planned: the presentation of the electoral program this Sunday in Alcorcón and the final campaign rally on Friday 27.
Sánchez, who will be running under the slogan "Vota con fuerza", will give the official start signal to the campaign this Thursday in Seville. According to sources from Ferraz, on Friday 13 he will chain two events in Arnedo (La Rioja) and Pamplona, and on Saturday he will travel to Palma to take part in another meeting with party members.
On Sunday 15, in Alcorcón, the socialists will officially present the program with which they are standing for the general elections. In the two weeks that follow, the party leadership expects to organize events practically every day, whose detailed schedule will be finalized and communicated in the coming days.
It is practically confirmed that Sánchez will travel to Barcelona, presumably on Tuesday 24, and also to Albacete, where he will share the stage with the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, one of his main internal critics. The closing event of the campaign will take place in the Community of Madrid, as the same sources confirm.
Face-to-face with Feijóo, pending fitting into the schedule
Some details still need to be fine-tuned to align the rallies with other appearances by the president in interviews and electoral debates, which will ultimately take place at the Academy of Television.
This Friday a meeting is scheduled with the organizers, in which the Secretary of Organization, Rebeca Torró, will participate, to finish locking in the calendar. At that meeting, the dates will be negotiated, although the face-to-face between Sánchez and the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, points to taking place on Wednesday or Thursday of next week (November 18 or 19).
