Díaz rules out that 18F, after the bad result, affects his project and Sumar conspires to get a boost

The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, stressed this Wednesday that Sumar’s results in the Galician elections were not good, but she rejects that they affect the deployment of her political project: “more than ever, Sumar and organization are needed.” Furthermore, in the ranks of Sumar they are conspiring to re-promote the project, after the blow of last Sunday’s elections, and they emphasize that there is a future plan and strategic lines that will now be in step with the organizational construction, indicate sources from the coalition. The leader of Sumar participated this Wednesday in a meeting of the plurinational group in Congress convened this afternoon, where she alluded in statements to the media about her balance of 18F, where her party suffered a setback by falling below 2% of the votes. Díaz, who until today had only spoken out about the Galician elections through the social network ‘X’, where he admitted that Sumar’s result had been bad, has commented that his party has not achieved in this electoral event the objective of promoting political change in this community. In fact, the leader of Sumar has stressed that the left has not only not met that expectation but that the PP has experienced growth in terms of absolute votes. “Which indicates that we have not done things well collectively and the results of Sumar, in Galicia in this case, are not good,” she has delved. Asked if the Galician elections could affect Sumar’s deployment, Díaz responded that quite the opposite given that on March 23 they will hold the first constitutive assembly of their political project and that 18F has confirmed that more “organization” is needed and “more Add.” During the meeting, internal sources have appreciated a good reaction from their leader, with messages to his deputies that have raised spirits and allowed us to turn the page on the Galician elections. Furthermore, they have stressed that, except for some tangential reference to Galicia and the need to have territorial roots to successfully face electoral processes, the bulk of the meeting has focused more on political analysis and a strategic plan for the legislature. In this way, several sources indicate that Add meaning and future. In this way, for example, they have explained that among the issues raised by the leadership is ensuring that the legislature is stable and the objectives desired by the progressive bases are met. And at this point the need to combine cohesion with the PSOE in the Executive has been stressed, but also marking the differentiating aspects with its partner, from a firm and constructive perspective. EUSKADI Regarding how they face the next elections in Euskadi, Díaz has indicated that her colleagues in this community are already working on these elections and that they do not interfere from Madrid. Precisely, the Basque deputy for this formation in Congress, Lander Martínez, stated this morning that Sumar and Podemos Euskadi have “confirmed” the impossibility of going together to the next elections to the Basque Parliament. What’s more, he added that it has become “clear that Podemos chose another path a long time ago and that there is neither option nor confidence to create a political coalition”, which is why he considers the possibility of a coalition for the purple formation closed. Meanwhile, the candidate for lehendakari of Elkarrekin Podemos, Miren Gorrotxategi, regretted this Wednesday that Sumar “has concluded” the possibility of going to these elections together, after doing “everything possible and impossible” to reach an agreement , even the option of his resignation to head a hypothetical coalition electoral list. COMBINE THE BRAND WITH THE TERRITORIAL ROOT At Sumar they have been highlighting that training in this community has to have its autonomy and they believe that the scenario is different than in Galicia, where there are surveys that give better results and it is also easier to enter the Basque Parliament, as the electoral barrier is 3% of the votes. At a general level, Sumar remembers that the pull of his brand at the state level could be seen in the general elections, where they were key to revalidating the progressive coalition government. However, at the territorial level the same did not happen because they were not constituted at the autonomous level, something that will begin to be done in all the communities from their assembly. In this sense, they emphasize that the brand is a variable that influences the results but not the only one, since these elections have shown that territorial roots are also necessary. THE PP NO LONGER ASKS HER IN CONGRESS On the other hand, and questioned about the fact of not attending the plenary session in Congress today, Díaz has stated that this question should be transferred to the PP, which has not addressed her in several sessions. control session to the Government. “The last question was asked me by the PNV and, therefore, when I am not asked, I do not attend. I think the reason has to do with the economic and labor data of this country,” the also head of Labor ironically stated. that the next unemployment data will be positive. Díaz took advantage of this Wednesday to hold a meeting, together with Sumar spokesperson Ernest Urtasun, with the co-president of the European Greens, Mélanie Vogel, to discuss the situation regarding the upcoming European elections. Both agree that the need to build a “green, social, feminist and democratic Europe is greater than ever,” as the environmental leader has highlighted on social networks.
