    Oscar Puente Does Not Rule Out Leading PSOE When Sanchez Steps Down

He believes this could happen within four or five years, after the next legislature. Puente advocates for holding general elections after regional ones to avoid appearing 'obligated' to go to the polls. He also considers Joan Rufián a potential candidate for the left of the PSOE but sees his candidacy as difficult to materialize.

    Fenerbahçe Denounces Acun Ilıcalı's Seat Dispute Actions

    Fenerbahçe has released a statement regarding Ali Acun Ilıcalı's legal actions over seat number 217. The club asserts that Ilıcalı, not being a party to the contract, filed an objection and applied for a preliminary injunction, which was rejected. However, a temporary committee accepted the application based on an invalid document. Enforcement officers later demanded a contract proving Ilıcalı's right to the seat, which he couldn't provide. Ilıcalı submitted a list of names to watch a match from the disputed seat, including non-Fenerbahçe fans and those without Passolig. Fenerbahçe condemns this attempt to cause chaos in the tribunes and will use legal complaint rights to remove the decision.
