Electomanía indicated that, according to NC Report on October 19, Sumar would decrease from 31 to 9 seats after the breakup. The Broad Front would obtain 5, Compromís-FV 3, and Podemos 1. According to the projection, the 22 lost seats would be divided between PP and Vox, with 14-15; Adelante Andalucía, with 3; PSOE, with 1-2; ERC, BNG, and EH Bildu or PNV, with 1 each. https://t.co/JUq74iyAcQ #España #Política #Elecciones (translated)

At the same time, in 2023 the creation of Sumar was linked to the political leadership of Yolanda Díaz, who in April 2023 already confirmed that she would be a candidate and, through her popularity and electoral pull, attracted the main left-wing parties to the same ballot. #FrenteAmplio #Sumar #CoaliciónIzquierda (translated)

Broad Front and Sumar, although they share the goal of uniting the left in a large coalition, show significant differences, such as the irreparable fracture with Podemos and the different strategies in candidate selection for the elections on November 29. #FrenteAmplio #Sumar #CoaliciónIzquierda (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)

Jijantes FC reported that Hansi Flick considered that day's match to be the most important, as it was crucial to gain three points in a scenario that was not easy before the next league match. https://t.co/JF7sX4FCpI https://t.co/jkcnehKDIl #Fútbol #LaLiga #JijantesFC (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)

Macarena Olona stated that, after five years of career, she spent another six studying to reach her starting point in 2009. She described that journey as a struggle and criticized the left of the camps, accusing them of not knowing how to add, alluding to the difference between 2009 and 2026. She also requested that the resumes of their leaders be published. #esfuerzo #educación #liderazgo (translated)

Raúl Solís wrote that the negotiations with the PSOE had taken place quietly, while those with Podemos had been accompanied by leaks to the media. He also asked why the heirs of Sumar had not reached an agreement with the PSOE for Congress. https://t.co/vTOORR51Hg #PSOE #Podemos #Congreso (translated)

Víctor Egío stated that on Thursday he had offered Izquierda Unida to lead the candidacy for the Region of Murcia and that, the next day, they were even negotiating the name of a joint candidacy of IU, Podemos, and Sumar: Left Front of the Region of Murcia. According to what he wrote, the agreement followed models agreed upon in the Canary Islands and Valencia and negotiated at that time in Extremadura, until the federal leadership of IU ordered it to be halted. Egío argued that the tenth seat in the region could have been for Penélope Luna and that, after the blockage, it would probably end up in the hands of Vox. He added that it would be difficult to explain the breakup after years of joint work in the Regional Assembly, the municipalities, and the social movements. #Unidad #Izquierda #Murcia (translated)

Pablo Iglesias stated that Compromís, Podemos, Izquierda Unida, and ERC, among other parties, had agreed to run together in the elections in the Valencian Community. He noted that the coalition would not be called Frente Amplio and contrasted the agreement with the situation in Catalonia, where ERC competed with that formation while Podemos supported it and, as he wrote, would integrate into its lists. Iglesias said that the coalitions in the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community were also not called Frente Amplio or Sumar, as was the case, according to him, in the Balearic Islands and Aragón. He asserted that similar agreements could be reached in other territories and that plurinationality and the left complicated these alliances. He also criticized the position of those who, as he wrote, conditioned agreements in other territories on Podemos integrating into a coalition in Madrid. He stated that an agreement in all territories except Madrid would not imply an electoral penalty and that there the left-wing electorate could choose between the candidacies of Delgado and Colau or those of Montero and Rufián. Iglesias argued that Podemos and MM-FA could have run together in Madrid through primaries, but claimed that someone did not want that option. He added that agreements without primaries could be reasonable in places where the electoral system penalized division, although they were not essential in Madrid. Finally, he urged those who, in his opinion, impeded agreements like those in the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community to rectify and negotiate with Podemos in Andalusia, Galicia, Asturias, Murcia, the Basque Country, Castile, and La Rioja. https://t.co/liVgAhAk6Q #PaísValencià #Coalición #Izquierda (translated)

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has announced the closure of the Sol metro station due to unsanitary conditions because of the camping in protest against the housing crisis, while Sumar criticizes the lack of dialogue with Podemos and distances itself from a possible electoral agreement. #CrisisDeVivienda #Elecciones29N #Ayuso (translated)
