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)
Pablo Echenique stated that the PSOE media supported the Broad Front and claimed that the PSOE had asked Rufián to break with ERC to be a candidate for that coalition. He also said that the PSOE had agreed to give him several positions in the Senate and wondered if the party would run in the elections on November 29 with two ballots. #PSOE #FrenteAmplio #Elecciones29N (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)
Gabriel Rufián has acknowledged the failure of his single list project for the left in the general elections, highlighting Podemos' inability to become a relevant force in Catalonia and putting a unified candidacy in the rest of Spain at risk. #EleccionesGenerales #FrenteAmplio #Podemos (translated)

Pablo Echenique pointed out that, according to an article from IamRGR1 that he shared, Gabriel Rufián had received contacts from the PSOE to lead the Broad Front and leave ERC. He added that the PSOE was pulling strings to promote that initiative, as he believes they had done before with Errejón and Sumar. https://t.co/fGo0clPh31 #PSOE #FrenteAmplio #ERC (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)
Gabriel Rufián, spokesperson for ERC, apologizes for the ridicule of the left in its attempt at unity and asks voters to go to the polls on November 29, even if they are disillusioned or angry, warning of the advance of the PP and Vox. #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)
Gabriel Rufián has described the negotiation process for leftist candidacies as a hellish spectacle and has acknowledged his contribution to the failed union, despite his prior warnings about the consequences of acting based on party interests. #PolíticaEspañola #IzquierdaUnida #Elecciones2026 (translated)

The article addresses the lack of unity among left-wing forces in Spain ahead of crucial elections and criticizes the recent actions of Gabriel Rufián, who is more focused on his personal career than on the necessary collaboration to confront a right-wing government. #VotoÚtil #IzquierdaAlternativa #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)
Pablo Echenique thanked the members of Podemos in the regions who, as he wrote, had negotiated in good faith, while the Frente Amplio negotiated behind their backs with the PSOE for the Senate. He also accused progressive media of spreading lies and contributing to demoralizing them. He also thanked those who defended both his political project and, in his words, "the facts and reality" on social media. Echenique stated that Podemos could push for an independent project from the PSOE and without compromises, after Sumar had disintegrated in just three years. He argued that this autonomy would allow for denouncing the rearmament, the handing over of the CGPJ to the PP, the corruption of the PSOE, and, he said, the protection of the interests of rentiers. He also highlighted the joint candidacy of Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián, whom he described as the left-wing leaders with the most recognition and appeal at that time. The Podemos leader anticipated that media pressure would increase and accused the media of publishing false polls that would attribute votes from other parties to the Frente Amplio. He stated that this coverage was due to the fear of a left that did not obey orders or accept agreements for a few senators. He urged his supporters to move forward and pointed out that on Sunday, November 29, voters could decide at the polls. #Podemos #Izquierda #Elecciones2023 (translated)
Irene Montero has acknowledged that the negotiations between the leftist parties have been insufficient for many people and has adopted the apologies of the ERC spokesman in Congress, Gabriel Rufián, for the "spectacle" presented during the conversations. #Podemos #FrenteAmplio #EleccionesGenerales (translated)
"Podemos has worked tirelessly these weeks to achieve the broadest possible nominations. Although we have not gone as far as we would have liked, we are satisfied to have reached a historic cooperation agreement with ERC. Because they are the two most reliable people when it comes to standing up to the right." In the same vein, Belarra has said that "the working people" must vote for "the only people" who can "really stand up to the right," Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián. #Podemos #IreneMontero #GabrielRufián (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)
"The agreements were difficult to achieve not because of the lists, but because we have been having serious discrepancies for years. We are very critical of their way of governing and their closeness to the PSOE."

Podemos defends the Montero-Rufián tandem after the failure of negotiations with the Frente Amplio, arguing that they are the only ones capable of confronting the right, while criticizing the Front Amplio's decision to opt for unitary candidacies with the PSOE. #Podemos #IreneMontero #GabrielRufián (translated)

Podemos argued that, in their opinion, the left could only stop VOX through struggle and the conquest of rights. They also urged the working class to vote in the elections for Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián, whom they presented as the only people capable of standing up to the right. The publication included a video of Ione Belarra. https://t.co/2gL7inZ8rG #Izquierda #Derechos #Elecciones (translated)
