Critics within the PSOE are urging members of the Comité Federal to hold elections this year. They also want Sánchez not to be a candidate in these elections. The critics are concerned about the party's credibility crisis, which they believe has been worsened by scandals involving alleged corruption.

They also mention certain political actions that have strayed from the party's principles and values. Further details about the situation and the critics' concerns can be found in El Mundo, which has more information on the matter.
