"If we do not unite, they will kill us separately." In recent days, the space to the left of the PSOE has offered a spectacle that Gabriel Rufián himself, bolstered internally in his party, ended up describing as disastrous and ungracious before apologizing to voters and admitting that they had failed because they had not managed to create a 'Broad Front'. #IzquierdaFragmentada #EgosPolíticos #UniónDeLaIzquierda (translated)
The ERC group leader Gabriel Rufián, who was originally supposed to lead the new left-wing platform, spoke of a failure in a "historical moment." #Spanien #Linksallianz #Wahlen2026 (translated)
I proposed a project and that project has failed. This is how Gabriel Rufián reacted on Friday to the evidence that there would no longer be a single state list of alternative lefts for November 29th. #EleccionesGenerales #FrenteAmplio #Podemos (translated)
And I apologize, I have already done it and I continue to do it because I believed, I overestimated that the common sense that was on the street and that the electoral strength that I could accumulate at that moment would be able to pull much more than it has pulled," Rufián has stated. #Elecciones29N #IzquierdaUnida #GabrielRufián (translated)
"They are going to politically execute us separately" are the words with which Gabriel Rufián has described the entire failed negotiation process for candidacies of the left this week. #PolíticaEspañola #IzquierdaUnida #Elecciones2026 (translated)
Even within the left itself, they mock the inability of this space to articulate a recognizable proposal. This 2026, less than a month and a half from the 29-N, has not escaped what Gabriel Rufián, an involved party, has called a "dreadful soap opera" and a "dantesque spectacle." #AdelanteAndalucía #Soberanismo #IzquierdaAndaluza (translated)
Gabriel Rufián, spokesperson for ERC in Congress, spoke on Friday of failure unambiguously. #UniónIzquierda #Elecciones2026 #FrenteAmplio (translated)
While Podemos was celebrating its State Citizen Council, the highest body between assemblies, Irene Montero took ownership of the apologies for the lack of agreement that the ERC candidate, Gabriel Rufián, had already expressed, to whose image the purple party has repeatedly clung. #UnidadIzquierda #Elecciones2026 #Podemos (translated)
Montero began her intervention by saying that she also shares Rufián's apologies this Friday when he apologized for the "dreadful spectacle" and acknowledged that he had "failed." #Podemos #IreneMontero #GabrielRufián (translated)
One of the promoters of this great agreement, the Republican Gabriel Rufián, admitted this Friday his pessimism, which has led him to offer public apologies. #EleccionesGenerales #FrenteAmplio #Podemos (translated)
"I came to think that if I arrived with enough strength, I could drag the party apparatuses and, probably, I cannot. I have failed," said Rufián on RAC-1 after having encouraged for months the unity of the left to end up agreeing on a collaboration with Podemos. #EleccionesGenerales #FrenteAmplio #Podemos (translated)
I have failed, we have failed. Rufián has always defended that Montero would be the ideal candidate for president of the Government among the parties to the left of the PSOE. #ERC #Podemos #EleccionesGenerales (translated)
"I have failed. Rufián sees it as 'very difficult' for the left to unite in the same candidacy for November 29: 'I have failed.'" #IreneMontero #Podemos #Primarias2026 (translated)
I thought I could bend the arms of the parties' leaders and drag them toward a common sense, but I have not been able to. The spokesperson for Esquerra Republicana (ERC) in Congress and candidate for Barcelona, Gabriel Rufián, has personally assumed the "failure" of the left to reach a united agreement and has apologized to the citizens for the "dantesque spectacle" and the "vaudeville" that, in his opinion, they have starred in. #UnidadIzquierda #GabrielRufián #EleccionesGenerales (translated)
I leave Esquerra and Joan Tardà kills me. Despite Oriol Junqueras' refusal to accept his plan to broaden the party beyond independence, Rufián has said that he will not break his membership card. #EleccionesCatalanas #GabrielRufián #UnidadDeLaIzquierda (translated)
I thought that by repeating what is said on the street and with my strength I could pull the party apparatuses. It is likely that I cannot. It is very likely that it will not happen. I have failed and we have failed. In this sense, Gabriel Rufián has also pointed to the leadership of the ecosocialist formation as one of those responsible for not allowing this collaboration with the Republicans, something that he admits Ada Colau has indeed worked on. #GabrielRufián #EsquerraRepublicana #Elecciones2023 (translated)
One of the promoters of this great agreement, the Republican Grabriel Rufián, has admitted today his pessimism, which has led him to publicly apologize. #Elecciones29N #FrenteAmplio #Podemos (translated)

I have wanted to go home because all of this makes me very lazy. Gabriel Rufián apologizes and admits to having failed in his attempt to form a united left-wing candidacy for the general elections. #GabrielRufián #Elecciones2026 #IzquierdaUnida (translated)
I thought that by repeating what the street was saying and that if I had enough strength, I could drag the party apparatuses along. And I probably can’t. It’s a failure. I have failed. We have failed. Rufián has apologized for not achieving the unified candidacy: "I thought that by repeating what the street was saying and that if I had enough strength, I could drag the party apparatuses along. And I probably can’t. It’s a failure. I have failed. We have failed." #Elecciones2026 #UnidadIzquierda #GabrielRufián (translated)
