Madrid (EFE) Equality, Irene Montero, on the lists.
They did not like the proposal that Sumar has made to them either because, according to the purples, it could leave them out of Congress: the leader of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights occupies number 5 on the list for Madrid; the Secretary of Organization, Lilith Verstrynge, on the 4th for Barcelona, and they also lead Sumar’s candidacies in 13 provinces.
They will continue trading until June 19.
They do not consider the agreement closed and will continue negotiating until the June 19 deadline, which is when the deadline for presenting the complete lists of electoral candidacies ends to try to improve the offer and try to have Montero included, although Sumar has made it clear that the presence and representation of Podemos “is widely guaranteed.”
The feeling among some leaders of the Belarra party is that Yolanda Díaz has destroyed them and diluted them in her project, although the results of the municipal and regional elections had already left the purples in a very bad position and without the strength to set conditions for Sumar.
In addition, they have encountered pressure from various territorial directions that have been publicly asking these days for a pact to be reached with Sumar, anticipating a disaster for the purples in case they do not attend the general elections together.
That is why they also convened the internal consultation, which concluded today and which has served them in some way to revalidate confidence in the leadership by achieving the support of almost 93 percent of its militancy (49,089 militants have voted in favor) and having thus carte blanche in the decisions that are adopted with Sumar.
adhered parties
Not only has Podemos signed the agreement on the last day of the deadline to register the coalitions, so have Izquierda Unida, Compromís, Más Madrid/Más País and the commons, who have not ratified their integration in Sumar until this Friday, although the difference It is that these formations had expressed their unequivocal support for Díaz since the second vice president put on the table her intentions to attend the general elections.
Some of these parties have already secured some starting positions in Sumar: Más Madrid will occupy numbers three, four (Íñigo Errejón), seven and ten on the electoral list for Madrid to the Congress of Deputies, while IU will be in ninth .
Compromís will have the first and second for Valencia, in addition to all the even positions and it has ensured that its brand will be: Compromís-Sumar: Sumem per guanyar, although all the ballots will bear the image with the face of Yolanda Díaz so that there is no Doubts about who leads the coalition.
Once the race against time has been overcome to form the electoral coalition, another one is now beginning to fit all the lists and all the names that will be on them, including people from civil society, which was also Díaz’s objective when he launched his project. If the Minister of Labor wanted to make sure of something, it is that Sumar could not be a soup of acronyms.
