Madrid (EFE).- The Minister of Consumption and federal coordinator of the IU, Alberto Garzón, will not repeat as a candidate in the general elections on July 23, although he will continue to lead the party and will participate in the campaign helping the Sumar Movement that he leads the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz.
IU sources have confirmed to EFE that Garzón will change his political role in this way in the next legislature and will not present himself as a deputy, a decision that he communicated to the party leadership and Díaz last Tuesday, after knowing the electoral advance for 23J .

Garzón has been on the front line for 12 years, participated in the 15M and was the youngest deputy in the 2011 elections.
