A primary election to elect the new party secretary-general was held on 13 July. The congress was called by outgoing PSOE leader Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba after his party's poor results at the 2014 European Parliament election, garnering just 23% of the vote. Rubalcaba announced his intention not to run for either his party's leadership or for the 2015 Spanish general election. Election system This Federal Congress was the first held at a national level in which all party members and affiliates (around 200,000) had the possibility to be consulted, several days before the Congress was held, about which person they wanted to become the new party leader. While not a legally binding ballot, the results were likely to be respected by the 1,000 party delegates which finally elected the new party's Secretary-General.Díez Anabel 30 May 2014 https://elpais.com/politica/2014/05/30/actualidad/1401478879_877391.html Todos los militantes elegirán al futuro secretario general del PSOE es El País Madrid 8 May 2025 Party members wishing to contend the election were required to gather the endorsement of at least 5% of the party membership before June 27. Background The 2011 general election had resulted in a landslide victory for Mariano Rajoy's People's Party (PP), a result of the financial crisis which had been hurting the country's economy since 2008. The ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), amidst a climate of high unpopularity, was ousted from power with the worst election result since the first post-Francoist electoral process in 1977. Then prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero had decided to stand down as PM candidate in early 2011 and as party leader once the quadrennial party congress due for early 2012 was held. Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, PSOE candidate for the 2011 election and former Deputy Prime Minister, was elected new Secretary-General in a tight fight against former Minister of Defence Carme Chacón.Díez Anabel 5 February 2012 https://elpais.com/diario/2012/02/05/espana/1328396401_850215.html Rubalcaba promete un PSOE fuerte es El País Seville 8 May 2025 However, as the new Rajoy's government was forced to pass new austerity measures and spending cuts, including a harsh labor reform and a very austere state budget for 2012, the new Government's ratings plummeted in opinion polls as it met with widespread protests and two general strikes.Elordi Cué Carlos 31 December 2011 https://elpais.com/diario/2011/12/31/espana/1325286001_850215.html Rajoy aprueba el mayor recorte de la historia y una gran subida de impuestos es El País Madrid 8 May 2025Gómez Manuel Vicente 10 February 2012 https://elpais.com/economia/2012/02/10/actualidad/1328911729_685382.html La reforma facilita y abarata el despido es El País 8 May 2025Agencias 9 March 2012 https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/03/09/economia/1331290549.html El 29 de marzo, huelga general es El Mundo Madrid 8 May 2025Doncel Luis Gómez Manuel Vicente 17 October 2012 https://elpais.com/politica/2012/10/17/actualidad/1350490445_610476.html Los sindicatos convocarán una huelga general para el 14 de noviembre es El País Brussels / Madrid 8 May 2025Agencias 30 March 2012 https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/1356363/0/consejo-ministros/anuncia/presupuestos-generales-2012/ El Gobierno presenta los presupuestos generales con un recorte de 27.300 millones es 20 minutos 8 May 2025 Little over 6 months of government had seen support for the PP government plummet from 45% in the general election to 34% in mid-to late 2012 polls, the most support lost by a political party in its first months of government in the country's history. However, despite the PP's falling ratings, the PSOE found itself unable to regain lost support, suffering from the memory on Zapatero's last government and his economic management, as well as the emergence of major corruption scandals in both parties, regarding possible illegal financing on both the People's Party and the Socialist Party regional government of Andalusia. A series of negative regional election results throughout 2012, coupled with an internal crisis in 2013 and the threat of rupture from the party's Catalonia partner, the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC), further weakened the PSOE, with Rubalcaba's leadership being put into question as his popularity ratings plummeted.Garea Fernando 27 February 2013 https://elpais.com/politica/2013/02/26/actualidad/1361912575_465622.html El desafío de Mas no rompe aún España pero abre un cisma entre PSOE y PSC es El País Madrid 8 May 202518 April 2013 https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2013/04/18/espana/1366269356.html Rubalcaba, a los impulsores de Madina: 'El PSOE no está en eso' es El Mundo 8 May 2025 The crisis was temporarily settled after the party's political conference in November 2013, with the question on the party's leadership being initially postponed for late 2014.Sanz Luis Ángel 8 November 2013 https://www.elmundo.es/espana/2013/11/08/527c19e40ab740ee188b456d.html Dirigentes del PSOE quieren el relevo de Rubalcaba ya es El Mundo Madrid 8 May 2025Gutiérrez Calvo Vera 10 November 2013 https://elpais.com/politica/2013/11/10/actualidad/1384091000_756301.html Rubalcaba asegura que “el PSOE ha vuelto” y pide a los suyos salir a la calle es El País Madrid 8 May 2025 After the European Parliament election, 2014 culminated in a major election crash for the party, coupled with a spectacular rise in support for newly created Podemos party, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba announced his intention not to run as his party's candidate for the 2015 general election and to have the party hold an extraordinary Congress for July 2014.Garea Fernando 26 May 2014 https://elpais.com/politica/2014/05/26/actualidad/1401102768_248408.html Rubalcaba tira la toalla y convoca en julio un congreso extraordinario tras la debacle es El País Madrid 8 May 2025 Timetable The key dates are listed below:3 June 2014 Convocatoria y normativa de desarrollo del Congreso Federal Extraordinario http://web.psoe.es/source-media/000000594500/000000594596.pdf es Spanish Socialist Workers' Party 1 April 2017 26 May: Official announcement and census closure. 6–9 June: Communication of provisional census and period of correction of census incidents. 10 June: Communication of definitive census. 10–13 June: Presentation of pre-candidates. 13–28 June: Endorsement collection period (until 27 June) and provisional candidate proclamations. 29 June–2 July: Allegation and definitive candidate proclamations. 3–12 July: Information campaign. 13 July: Primary election (to elect the Secretary-General). 13–19 July: Provincial and insular congresses.
