Sources from the PSOE of Andalusia tell exclusively for ElConstitucional.es the uncertainty in which the group finds itself regarding the leadership of María Jesús Montero, the candidate for the presidency of the Junta. The elections could take place in June and the socialists do not understand the lack of presence of Montero in the region. The largest territory in the country, where they consider that if the municipalities from Huelva to Almería are not visited, even Vox could overshadow her in the upcoming elections. 

In this way the socialists show their discontent with the lack of strategy of the team of the one who is Minister of Finance and first vice-president of the government, given which they would ask her to leave her post to focus on the Andalusian elections. In comparison, they state that the Popular Party has "a well-oiled machine", and in the PSOE there is a disconnection with the citizenry and organizational chaos reigns. 

Even they are already thinking about the day after the election results, looking for new leaderships and a new management committee to overcome the bad data that is expected. According to sources within the party, several former leaders of the party have already raised the alarm for them to "wake up" and for Vox not to equal them in voting intention or achieve a similar percentage. The socialists believe that if Montero does not focus her efforts on Andalusia and maintains a firm presence in the region, the elections are already set.
