According to sources from the environmental group, the party leadership endorsed this proposal at a meeting held last night after the president, Pedro Sánchez, called a surprise general election on July 23 after the socialist disaster and for the left in general in the autonomous communities and municipal on Sunday.
Sumar has opened talks with the forces of the alternative left, including Podemos, to close an electoral coalition with which to contest the elections within a maximum period of ten days, as established by the deadlines for registering coalitions.
