This was confirmed today by number four on the list, Jorge Fernández, who remains locked up with a group of like-minded people at the party headquarters in Gijón so that he is not excluded from the candidacy as proposed by the regional leadership when he is suspended from affiliation. for six months.
Fernández has assured that he has sent the national leadership a legal report that reflects that he is not disqualified from being part of the candidacy formed according to the result of the primaries, which gave the first four positions on the list to the critical sector of Asturias, and has Warned that if you are locked out, you will be forced to take legal action.
In a press conference at the Gijón headquarters of Podemos, those locked up have evaded specifying what position they will adopt in the event that, as the regional leadership has announced, a candidacy is registered that does not include Fernández and that places Fernández in his position.

“We have a profession, we do not need to live on politics and our model is not one of those who petrify themselves and spend their entire lives living off public office,” Fernández pointed out after recalling that the head of the list is a pediatrician and has left the confinement to do a guard in his hospital.
Thus, he has summoned Belarra to decide if his model and that of Podemos “is democracy and that of the primaries” or if it is to convert “the spirit of 15M into a take off yourself to put me on” and change a result for that someone who has held it for eight years such as Taboada, head of municipal policy and spokesman for the regional leadership, continue to hold public office.
