Luis Tudanca, the spokesperson for the Socialist Group in Castilla y León's parliament, has been elected as a senator for the region, marking the end of his nearly decade-long tenure in the regional assembly. Tudanca, who received 32 votes in favor during a secret ballot, is set to take office in the Senate on May 6. His departure from the regional parliament and the Socialist Group's spokesperson role paves the way for Patricia Gómez Urbán to assume the position until the next regional elections, anticipated around March 2026.
The election of Tudanca as a senator was conducted under a revised legislative procedure, introduced in October 2022, which allows for the designation of senators regardless of the number of valid votes obtained. This change, advocated by the PP and Vox parties, simplifies the previous system that required a majority for the election of senators. Tudanca's transition to the Senate was met with mixed reactions, including 31 null votes and 18 blank ballots, reflecting the diverse political landscape of Castilla y León.
Reflecting on his time in the regional parliament, Tudanca expressed pride in his contributions and a forward-looking attitude towards his new role. "I leave with the feeling of having given everything so that Castilla y León could have the future it deserves," he stated, emphasizing his commitment to continue working with enthusiasm in the Senate. His remarks highlighted a career dedicated to public service and a belief in the potential for change and regeneration within the region's political framework.
Tudanca's departure from the regional political scene is seen as a moment of transition for the Socialist Group in Castilla y León. His legacy as the longest-serving spokesperson for the PSOE in the region's history is marked by his efforts to advocate for change and progress. As he moves to the national stage, the focus shifts to how his successor will navigate the challenges ahead, with the regional elections on the horizon and the ongoing political dynamics within Castilla y León.
