Barely 24 hours before the deadline to present coalitions, Podemos has put a last proposal on the negotiation table with Sumar to increase the pressure on Yolanda Diaz: compete separately in the three provinces of the Valencian Community and in alliance with the party of the second vice president in the rest of the country. Sources from the purple formation indicate that this movement “is a possible solution to try to unblock the current situation” in which, they denounce, Compromís is vetoing them. In the vice president’s team they do not even consider analyzing this offer and sources in her environment assure that they “do not contemplate” anything that is not a global pact.
The purples open a consultation so that their militancy legitimizes the decisions of the executive on the agreement
A few hours after the leadership of Podemos announced a consultation with its militancy to seek to have carte blanche when driving an agreement or a break with Add, the purples have decided to hit the table and plant themselves in the Valencian Community. Sources from the purple party stress that the problem is in Compromís, which was proposing “a veto on the lists” of these three constituencies: Valencia, Alicante and Castellón.
In this sense, they consider that if they are presented separately in this autonomous community could be “unlocked” the rest of the negotiation. Even so, the purples prefer to remain silent about how the negotiations are in the rest of the territories and if at a global level they would be satisfied with the negotiations that have been proposed so far. Be that as it may, sources from Díaz’s team assure that “do not contemplate” close an agreement in which the purples broke the unity in some territory and stress that it must be a “global” agreement. The deadline to register is this Friday at 23:59.
At the moment, the leader of Sumar already has closed pre-agreements with Más Madrid; dragon treeformation created by the former purple leader alberto rodriguez; the Aragonese Chunta; AraMesa coalition of four Balearic parties; Initiative of the Andalusian People; batzarre; and Equo Greens. In addition, in the next few hours, other key formations such as Izquierda Unida and Compromís will join, except for last-minute surprises. or the environmental party Green Alliance.
The vetoes
This offer occurs the same day that Podemos has called its bases to a consultation to have full power in the negotiation with Díaz. The process is not being easy, and with little more than 24 hours to expire the term the positions still seem found. The main stumbling blocks these days have been in Madrid, Catalonia and the Valencian Community, where there are three territorial forces that are a reference to the left of the PSOE in the face of the testimonial role of the purples: Más Madrid, Catalunya en Comú and Compromís. However, the purple ones circumscribe the last stumbling block to the three Valencian provinces.
The person in charge of denouncing these vetoes was the former general secretary of the party, Pablo Iglesias, who denounced that the three formations were trying to exclude Podemos from the electoral lists. However, the leader of Compromís, Joan BaldovíHe denied it, although he did claim that it was his party that should take the starting positions. Sumar’s spokesperson, Ernest Urtasúnalso denied that “no veto” had been raised.

the figure of Irene Montero It also generates controversy. Podemos denounced the veto to the Minister of Equality, which at first would start from the rest of the parties, but the setback of the Supreme Court, endorsing the reduction of sentences by the law of only if it is yes, has served as an argument for its presence in the lists by Madrid is questioned from Sumar’s own team.
Montero’s relationship with Díaz has been extremely strained. In the crisis of yes is yes, where the Galician woman was more in favor of assuming mistakes instead of enshrining, Díaz avoided giving firm support to the head of Equality, and she was criticized in Podemos for “put in profile when they attack colleagues”, in the words of Pablo Iglesias. The purple leader has also openly expressed her differences with the vice president, comparing it to the split of Manuela Carmena and Iñigo Errejón and accusing him of personalism.
