How did the internal power struggles within the PSPV-PSOE affect the balance of power between the regional and provincial branches?

Morant's actions reflect a strategic move to consolidate power, but it risks further fracturing the party. By excluding potential rivals from the executive committee, she aims to prevent internal opposition. However, Bielsa's defiance, fueled by his belief that he is owed a favor, indicates a significant challenge to Morant's leadership. The upcoming primaries will determine the extent of this division.

These demands reflect existing disagreements between the PSOE and Sumar.", "Future protests are planned if the government doesn't meet the unions' demands, highlighting potential social and political instability stemming from disagreements between the ruling coalition partners and the unions' role in advocating for workers' rights.
