Pedro Sánchez Leads PSOE Federal Committee Amid 'caso Koldo' and Salazar Resignation; Government Approves LOREG Reform Mandating Public Media Debates

The Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is undergoing internal changes amid ongoing political challenges. On July 5, 2025, the Federal Committee of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) convened in Seville to address government changes and internal party issues, including the 'caso Koldo' and the resignation of Salazar. Pedro Sánchez actively participated in the committee discussions, which are seen as pivotal for the party's direction. Subsequently, on July 8, 2025, the Council of Ministers approved a reform to the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime (LOREG). This reform mandates that publicly owned media must organize at least one debate during election campaigns, a move aligned with recommendations from the European Commission and aimed at strengthening Spain's electoral system. Following these developments, Pedro Sánchez met with the new Federal Executive Commission of PSOE at the party headquarters in Ferraz.
