The PSOE arrives at the start of the 29-N campaign with better data in its internal polls than five weeks ago, according to socialist sources consulted by ElConstitucional.es. The daily monitoring managed by Ferraz places Pedro Sánchez at the forefront of preferences to preside over the Government and the PSOE ahead in direct voting intention. The same sources describe a less favorable evolution for the PP and weak results for Podemos and Frente Amplio.
According to these sources, the socialists and Frente Amplio are the two formations with the most support within the left bloc in their measurements, but Ada Colau's candidacy remains below 10%. “There is still a lot of game to play,” say the sources, who place voter mobilization and the capture of undecided voters among their priorities.
Socialist sources assure that their measurements did not register a significant variation after the Urda railway accident. They defend the Government's response to the tragedy and claim the resignation of the then Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente. In their opinion, citizens value a government that responds with humility in an emergency. They also maintain that the massive entry of people into Ceuta did not alter their internal data.
The PSOE opens campaign in Seville
Sánchez will lead the PSOE's kick-off event this Thursday in Seville, before the campaign officially begins at 00:00 on Friday, November 13. The itinerary for the first days includes La Rioja, Pamplona, and the Balearic Islands. On Sunday, the party will present its electoral program in Madrid.
Socialist sources link the early election with the rejection of the housing decrees in Congress. The call, they affirm, was “motivated by a great social cause, housing.” With the call “Vote with Strength,” the PSOE aims to expand its support in Congress and the Senate to resume these measures. It will also focus on pensions, minimum wage increases, and the expansion of rights, in contrast to what it calls the “chainsaw” model. To do this, it trusts in a “historic mobilization” of the left.
The face-to-face with Feijóo is still pending a date
The campaign team still has to square part of Sánchez's tour with the interviews and debates that the Television Academy will organize. The PSOE's Organization Secretary, Rebeca Torró, will participate this Friday in the scheduled meeting to negotiate the calendar. November 18 and 19 are among the dates being considered for the face-to-face between Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, pending confirmation.
