baleares
In the Balearic Islands, where the purples governed in coalition with the PSOE and have now lost five of their six deputies, the executive has placed its continuity in the hands of the Citizen Council, which will meet on June 10.
They explain that they have not resigned due to the imminence of the generals, for which they ask that an integration agreement be reached soon with Yolanda Díaz since “the people are waiting for this confluence”, as the coordinator of the party in the archipelago pointed out this Thursday , Antonia Jover.
The decision of the Balearic Executive has come after the acting Balearic vice president, Juan Pedro Yllanes, who has suggested the dissolution of Podemos in Sumar, also expressed his surprise that Lilith Verstrynge, Ione Belarra or Pablo Echenique “have not already disappeared from the political scene.
Canary Islands
The secretary of the Organization of Podemos in the Canary Islands has opted for the resignation, where the formation met at the confluence of United Sí Se Puede together with Izquierda Unida and Sí Se Puede and has been left out of the Canary Islands Parliament and numerous local institutions of the archipelago.
When announcing his departure via Twitter, the person in charge of Organization until now, César Merino, has argued that “we must be generous in victory and courageous in defeat”, while pointing out that “an electoral defeat does not define us ”.
The Canary Islands is one of the territories in which the left went to the divided elections, with the circumstance that whoever was secretary of the Organization of Podemos at the state level, Alberto Rodríguez, did so with his own party, Drago, which also seeks to converge with Sumar , with the condition that the decisions that affect the islands are taken from the archipelago.
Castilla la Mancha
The resignation of the leader of Podemos in the Canary Islands is joined by that of ten councilors of Podemos in Castilla-La Mancha, which the party downplays with the argument that they already resigned in February 2021 and did not have organic powers.
Among the resignations, who have sent a letter to the militancy, is Helena Galán, who in 2020 lost the primaries to José Luis García Gascón, current regional coordinator. The party downplays her march because she resigned from the executive in February, but she defends that she continued to be part of the Citizen Council.
In Castilla-La Mancha, where in 2015 he came to govern in coalition with Emiliano García-Page, Podemos was left 28M without representation in the Manchegas Cortes, as it already occurred in the 2019 elections.
Echenique has branded the news about resignations as a “lie”
Pablo Echenique, secretary of the Podemos Program, has branded the news about resignations as a “lie”, because in the Balearic Islands they have placed the charges in the hands of the Citizen Council, and in Castilla La Mancha “they are people who had already resigned months ago.” “Corrupt journalism”, he has denounced on Twitter.
In this context, Yolanda Díaz is negotiating with Podemos to achieve a coalition before June 9 that must reconcile the interests of multiple parties after years of disagreements and splits.
