	Spanish Socialist Workers' Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PSOE was founded with the purpose of representing the interests of the working class born from the Industrial Revolution with the declared objective of achieving socialism, and inspired by the revolutionary principles of Marxism.
		Although the PSOE was rather weak during the late 1800s, its active participation in strikes from 1899 to 1902 and especially its electoral coalition with the main Republican parties led in 1910 to the election of Pablo Iglesias as the first Socialist representative in the Spanish Cortes.
		In 1977 PSOE became the official opposition party with 29.2% of the vote and 118 seats in the Parliament.

	José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Rodríguez Zapatero organized a coalition to obtain the mayoralty in León in 1987, justifying the coalition by arguing that it was necessary to change the "negative dynamics" of the city, to "normalize" its democratic life, and to end its "bad relations" with other institutions, such as the Regional Government of Castilla y León.
		In 1988, Rodríguez Zapatero was appointed Secretary General of the PSOE in León after a complex internal fight that ended a long period of divisions and internal confrontation.
		Although the PSOE got worse results than in the previous election, it finally took hold of the regional government after almost 20 years of control of the Institutions by CIU thanks to an alliance with ERC and the other left-wing party.

	Basque Left Wing Nationalism
		Where the PSOE and PNV were continually tempted to set one section of the population against another, EE thought that a unified Euskadi, where all of its inhabitants had equal rights, had yet to be built.
		The PSOE was slow to transfer power to an institution where the PNV was dominant, while the PNV, which considered that only its own supporters were real Basques, was content to operate a system of local patronage.
		Those now in the PSOE made little impact on that party, and their pacifism on Basque politics did not lead them to oppose Spain’s involvement in foreign wars.Some occupied positions in the political institutions and in the party machinery.

	Spain - Growth of the PSOE
		As the UCD continued to disintegrate, the PSOE gained strength; it was considered more likely than the increasingly conservative UCD to bring about the sweeping social and economic reforms that the Spanish people desired.
		Moreover, party leader Gonzalez had been successful in his efforts to direct the PSOE toward a more centrist-left position, as seen in his successful persuasion of PSOE delegates in 1979 to drop the term "Marxist" from the party's definition of itself.
		The PSOE was thereby able to project an image of greater moderation and reliability, and it became a viable governmental alternative.

		After the PSOE's victory in 1982, the population focused their expectations on it – all their aspirations for change produced by the end of the dictatorship, but not fulfilled by the previous government.
		In its election campaign, the PSOE had promised to prevent the return of the right-wing and the dictatorship, arguing at the same time that it was not possible to satisfy all working class demands.
		While the left-wing politicians from the PSOE and the CP were thereby trying to save their political future, they made no special commitments to the workers.

	A marxist analysis of the Basque election results
		The big increase in the PP vote (100,000 more than four years ago, and 19,000 more than the general election of 1996) is not unconnected to the political positions of the PSOE leadership: experience has shown time and time again that pacts and agreements with the right only benefit the bourgeoisie.
		PSOE has increased its vote compared with the last Basque election, in 1994, but has suffered a big collapse (of almost 80,000) compared with the general election of 1996.
		The results have been insuficient for PSOE and a disastre for IU whose campaign was run without the participation of its militants at the cost of millions of pesetas (one million pesetas=4200 pounds aprox.) leaving the organisation mortgaged both finacially and politically.

		As had been the case for the PSOE, the PCE found that the burden of dogmatic Marxism reduced its appeal for the electorate.

		The role of the PSOE in the construction of Republican political unity during the Civil War was pivotal.
		As the traditional party of the working class and the only mass party in Spain as late as 1931, PSOE militants were to be found on both sides of the revolutionary/reformist divide which split fatally the Republican forces during the Civil War.
		The PSOE's disintegration was a function of that of the Republic itself; but the reverse was no less true.

		Throughout the convulsed period leading to the Second Republic and the 1936 election, the PSOE was intensively infiltrated by Marxist-Leninist elements, and the massive nationalization of industry was its main political stand.
		When the PSOE leader,Francisco Largo Caballero became Prime Minister in September 1936, the country was already in the midst of civil war, with the Communists -- hence, Stalin’s --influence growing.
		By 1996, the PSOE was clearly compromised in the eyes of the electorate.

	Senate - Spanish Legislative Election, 2004
		The PSOE will thus need to gain the support of the Catalan and Canary Islands regionalists, the CiU and CC, to carry legislation in the Senate.
		Both parties have supported PSOE and PP governments in 1990-2000, when the largest party did not enjoy an absolute majority in the Congress.
		It is possible that voters swung to the PSOE in the vote for the Congress of Deputies, which determines the government, but stuck with the PP in the voting for the Senate, thus placing a brake on a future socialist government.

		The dismal outcomes of job training programs are due in substantial part to their limited duration and intensity; within PSOE, the economic returns are clearly higher to those completing associate's degrees than to individuals with certificates taking shorter amounts of time or those with varying amounts of coursework.

		In others forms of PSOE, remedial education may be missing, or students may be directed to adult education programs of varying (and mostly abysmal) quality.
