Dozens of amendments to the framework presentation of the 40th Federal Congress of the PSOE that is being held this weekend in Valencia defend the republic as a model of State. The debate is not new, it is a classic in socialist congresses where the bases exhibit the republican soul of the party present in its 142-year history. The more than 1,500 pages of amendments presented include references to the “republican spirit and values,” to the “working-class and republican personality,” and to the “republican tradition” of the party. The achievement of the “Federal Republic”, the “Federal and Republican Spanish State”, or the “Third Republic” is advocated. There are many territories that raise the debate about the State model. Euskadi, Catalonia, País Valencià, Andalusia, Madrid, Murcia... Also from the Socialist Left current , or from Socialist Youth that even ask for the holding of a referendum on monarchy or republic. In the most left-wing sectors of the PSOE, Luis Gómez Llorente's speech on May 11, 1978 in the Congress of Deputies to defend the particular Republican vote of the PSOE prior to the approval of the Constitution remains in force.
The ideology of one of the founders of the Socialist Left (IS) remains very alive among the militancy of the only current of internal opinion in the PSOE. “In all congresses, the Socialist Left has defended the republic as a form of government and we always go back to Gómez Llorente's historic intervention in 1978 in Congress. We do it out of honesty and principles and because Australia Phone Number we understand that the republic is the most democratic form of government, in which there are no privileges,” says Isabel Andaluz, member of IS-Madrid and delegate to this year's Federal Congress. In his speech, Gómez Llorente assured that “all power is only legitimate as long as it is an expression of the freely emitted popular will, expressly declared through authentically democratic forms. The form of Government and the figure of the head of State are not situated beyond that principle and, therefore, for us it cannot have any other character of legitimacy, but rather its constitutional establishment." In its amendment, IS defends that “the Spanish people have the right to decide on the form of State under which they want to live. An advisory referendum on monarchy or republic needs to be held. Socialists must take the initiative to create the necessary conditions to overcome the current situation imposed by the restrictions that existed during the Transition.
The time has come to try to have, democratically elected, a president of a federal and secular Spanish republic. The PSOE, republican by nature, and in full disrepute of the leadership of the Royal House, must coordinate the block of republican forces that, through a second "Pact of San Sebastián" achieves the Third Republic." Socialist Youth (JSE) also defends the need for a referendum. In his amendment he states that “the republican horizon must be part of the long-term partisan strategy. It is a moral obligation that the proposal to open a constituent process in our country be promoted by the PSOE. The current legal frameworks do not allow the effective implementation of socialism, therefore, the PSOE must propose to the Cortes Generales a consultative referendum, provided for in Article 92 of the Spanish Constitution, so that the Spanish people can freely and sovereignly exercise their right. to choose their model of State.” Another amendment presented by socialists from Murcia goes much further by demanding the PSOE's commitment to "at most in the next legislature, a referendum be called to be able to choose between Monarchy or Republic." Isabel Andaluz believes that the time has come to open the debate in society, especially now when the scandals of the emeritus king are becoming known.
