The one on May 28, 2023 was an Aciaga night for Unidas we can in practically the entire territory. A few months after the generals that Yolanda Díaz should capture with a new project, the coalitions of the left sank in Spain, leaving without representation in the communities of Madrid, the Valencian and the Canary Islands. They lost five of the six regional governments of which they were part and also the cities of Barcelona and Valencia, in the hands until then of the commons and Compromís. In addition to the solo candidacy of the United Left in Asturias, only Navarra, which had rehearsed a well -avenue confluence that included Pode country.
This Wednesday, the Coordinator of Podemos Navarra, a voice sometimes criticized with the line of the state management, announced that it will not be presented to the re-election in the primary that must be held soon, delving into the crisis of territorial representation of the party, very weakened after the debacle of that 28-M and the little profitability obtained within adding in the generals (it only retains four deputies in the mixed group of the Congress).
Alfaro, who clearly defended the Alliance with Díaz on 23-J in a pulse to the direction of the formation and that months before participated in the launch of the vice president as a candidate against the criteria ordered by the dome, announces that he will not opt for the position, leaving some message to the central nucleus of the formation. “My effort on the remainder of the legislature will focus on developing from the government the programmatic agreements that we adopt in 2023 to improve public housing, youth policies, migratory policies and equality, and on putting all the meat on the grill so that all the political space that represents with Damocles sword of having to look sideways at those who decide without having the slightest consideration of the interest of Navarras and Navarros, ”he says in the issued statement.
That clear commitment to the unit of all parties contradicts any of the precepts of the roadmap approved by Podemos in the Congress held in April, which establishes – did it before, although the strategy was another – that corresponds to the State Citizen Assembly to “approve or reject any pact or pre -election or post -election, government or investiture at territorial levels lower than the state ”. That criterion – with Irene Montero postulated as head of the list to some generals – at the moment of the possibility of presenting with the formation of Díaz. And although in the Navarra confluence, Movement of adding as such is not, other coaligated forces do coexist and in greater tune with it.
In her statement, the third vice president and Minister of Housing, Youth and Migratory Policies of the Government of Navarra, who agreed to the position of Autonomous Coordinator in 2021, also emphasizes that with decision”.
The still leader of the community party ends her writing with a reflection aimed “to all progressive forces”, beyond the coalition of which he is part. “Apart from acronyms, we must have a long look and assume the change of screen that politics is living at all levels. We must consolidate what has been achieved in our community in the last ten years and ambition more, offer a project that generates illusion in citizenship against the dangerous reactionary wave that threatens our democratic system.”
In addition to improving results in Navarra, we can, together with IU and other forces, managed to stay in Murcia (two deputies), La Rioja (two, although the government lost) and Extremadura (four). The leader of this last territory, Irene de Miguel, revalidated the position last December with 94.9% support. The spokeswoman in the regional Parliament presented a candidacy that also bet on the unit and has just been chosen again secretary of revitalization of the rural environment in the last direction of Belarra. The road to the 2027 elections will be long and in a context of generalized weakness, the formations of the left will be forced to negotiate. The previous experience will be provided by Castilla y León and Andalucía, the latter a key community to resolve conflicts or otherwise, launch to measure forces.
