• The PSOE is grappling with a lack of self-criticism after recent electoral setbacks and disdain towards historical figures such as Felipe González or Javier Lambán.
• The socialists are experiencing an electoral setback and seem to lack a solid, integrative project.
• The reaction to losing elections in Extremadura and Aragón has been to close ranks, showing a fear of losing power.
• Some party leaders are responding with strong criticism of former president González and pointing the way out to the main reference of socialism.
• Óscar López's attack on Lambán is politically unsustainable and ethically reprehensible.
• Sánchez's desire to control the party in all territories is punishing regional and municipal leaders.
• All this could be a sign of internal unrest that is spreading within the party.

Conclusion: The PSOE is facing an internal political crisis that threatens its future. To survive, the party needs to return to the ideological centrality and organic plurality that allowed it to be a key pillar in the construction of Spain.
