Madrid (EFE).- Yolanda Díaz finally announces this Sunday her candidacy for the general elections for the Sumar Platform, in an act attended by a dozen parties of the alternative left but in which Podemos will not be present, which has dropped from the photo by failing to impose their demands.
The event, which is expected to be massive, will be held from 11:30 a.m. at the Magariños sports center in Madrid, where leading leaders from the IU, Más País, los comunes, Compromís, the Aragonese Chunta, have already confirmed their attendance. Batzarre, Drago, Verdes Equo, Movement for Dignity and Citizenship of Ceuta or the European Green Party.
Several territorial leaders of Podemos are also expected who have skipped the slogans of the purple address and come in a personal capacity.
Podemos conditioned their attendance on having previously closed a written agreement so that all the candidates for the general elections were chosen by open primaries, but what the second vice president has offered them is a commitment that there would be primaries, although the specific formula would be agreed upon more forward for all the forces that join your project.
With the officialization of his candidacy, Díaz opens another stage in his electoral plans after concluding a week ago in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria the listening process with the citizens that he undertook last summer to make a decision about his political future.
Once the municipal and regional elections in May are over, the Second Vice President and Minister of Labor will get down to work to put together the coalition with which she will run in the elections and will see what political forces end up joining.
