Add responds to Podemos that the unit does not go from names | Spain
Add and we can cool any conversation for a unit candidacy to the left of the PSOE in the generals. Only one day after the return of the former Equality Minister, Irene Montero, to national politics for national policy for Lead a list « Not only of Podemos »both from the group of Yolanda Díaz (Sumar Movement) and from the United Left they have advocated Monday by democratic processes to choose the components of the ballots and claim, for the moment, focus on policies and put aside the debate of the names.
The application of the number two Podemos, a movement expected for its projection in the party since the departure of the government, has not surprised on the left, but the time chosen for the announcement, when there would still be two years for the celebration of general elections and less than a week of completing the V State Citizen Assembly of the party.
« It will be the people. It will not be Pablo Iglesias, nor Ione Belarra, nor Yolanda Díaz, nor Lara Hernández who talk about the conditions of the unit when it touches, because there are two years for 2027 ″, he responded at noon at a press conference Hernández herself, one of the two new coordinators of the Movement of Sumar. The party approved nine days ago in its assembly a Resolution to build alliances with the rest of the formations left. The leader recalled that the commitment to democratic processes such as primary is a « mandate » of the party, reflected in her organizational document, and avoided positioning himself on the possibility that Montero could lead that unique candidacy.
More overwhelming and resolved on the steps to follow, the federal coordinator of the United Left, Antonio Maíllo, has considered Monday that the announcement of the Montero candidacy for a broad project in the next generals « was something predictable. » The IU leader has assured that the news « does not conditions » the road map of his organization, which continues to bet on the primary open to all parties to choose the referents of a future candidacy of unity and rejects “by finger” designations. In no case, his party would rule out leading that project.
« Neither hinders nor pushes, » Maíllo said about the claims of the former equality minister. « I see it within absolute normality and it has not caused me a surprise. » United Left You have always advocated presenting a single candidacy for the PSOE leftbut rejects at the moment talk about leadership. « We are going to bet on a unitary candidacy in which we are all inside and the one that comes more people. From the absence of fulanism (…) IU will focus on the construction of the political proposal, which will then have its references and will be chosen through a deeply democratic method, by primary system, » he defended. Maíllo has explained that members of all organizations and individuals may be presented to this process. « We are clear that we will respect the results that are obtained. As if we present a candidate and win. Then we will ask that the rest of the organizations are cohesion around it, which is a possibility that can be given, » he said opening the door to that it is the IU itself that leads that hypothetical list.
Also the deputy of the Commons and Spokesman attached to add, Aina Vidal, has been critical of the announcement. « Advance debates for those missing more than two years does not help, » he said at a press conference from Barcelona, in statements collected by Europa Press.
During the act of Podemos on Sunday, at no time were specifically talked about including in the candidacy for other parties, but to « organized civil society » and those « disenchanted » with the coalition government. But the allusion to organizations of the political space that could be critical of the direction of adding, as IU was in its day – with which dozens of coalitions throughout the territory – was implicit. This morning, the secretary of Organization of the Party of Ione Belarra, Pablo Fernández, has reiterated that Montero’s candidacy « It is a political task » that seeks to « stand up to a left of power and government », relying on organized social movements. The plan, as he said, is « to convert the social force of ‘no to war’ and the one that aspires to advance rights in an electoral force. »
Fernández has declared « not knowing what positioning are » the rest of the political actors. “What the adversary wants is that we talk all the time of ourselves, but what we want is to do politics. That’s why We have the hand to civil organizations”, He stated. He added that in the coming weeks, the direction that leaves the assembly will be deployed throughout the territory“ to weave those alliances. ”The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, will be re -elected this weekend being the only candidate for position.
