Former PSOE spokesperson Montse Mínguez has resigned from her position following reports concerning real estate dealings involving her partner. Her departure is causing significant turmoil within the Socialist party, prompting re-evaluation of its strategy ahead of the upcoming November 29th general elections. Rebeca Torró has been appointed as the new Organizational Secretary of the PSOE.
The intricate negotiations among left-wing parties for electoral alliances have seen mixed results. Frente Amplio and Podemos have largely failed to reach comprehensive agreements for joint candidacies in key regions like the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community, opting to run separately. However, the PSOE and Frente Amplio did manage to form joint lists for the Senate, aiming to challenge the People's Party's majority.
Separately, authorities have issued new warnings for torrential rains and storms across Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands. In other news, the Supreme Court has ruled against companies that sought to limit the legally mandated five-day leave for caring for seriously ill family members.
