• Demonstrative projection: Errejón threatens up to 40% of the seats of Iglesias but would not harm Pedro Sánchez
  • Way to 10-N. This is the pulse Pablo Iglesias-Íñigo Errejón, community to community

In the midst of an uncertain electoral scenario, in which the irruption of Íñigo Errejón's party shakes to the left, in Podemos we add new voices that call for decentralization and that autonomy may be empowered in the designation of candidates for Congress. It is what asks, for example, Teresa Rodriguez in Andalusia and now also Nacho Escartín , leader of Podemos Aragón . "It would be good if the candidates were not imposed from Madrid," he said, focusing on Pablo Echenique, who was the candidate for Zaragoza . He asks to hold new primaries - something discarded by the national leadership - to relieve him as a candidate for 10-N.

A new front opens in Podemos: Aragón. The leader of this community was already one of those who asked Iglesias to bet on the unit with Errejón when he was in the procession to the purple formation to ally with Manuela Carmena. Now, Iglesias asks "to rethink" the candidates for Aragon to Congress, so that Escartín himself can have an influence on their designation.

The focus is on Echenique, member of the dome of Iglesias, candidate for Zaragoza, and former party leader in this community. We can Aragón, to try to close the passage in Aragon to the Errejón party, he presented a joint candidacy to Chunta Aragonesista (CHA), and initiated contacts with them a few days ago. But this formation has set as a "priority line" to ally with Errejón, with whom they have been negotiating since Monday. And they use Echenique's candidacy as one of the arguments.

"Cha says that the Gordian knot to see very difficult, almost impossible, the coalition is that Echenique is the candidate for Zaragoza," Escartín said in Aragon Radio, where he said he was going to call Iglesias to expose these approaches. "Before the general elections I already said that the candidates would have to be rethink well. It would be good if they were not imposed from Madrid, it would be good if they dialogued with the territory and that was not done in April." His request is that while there is no room for an assembly process, yes, "the Aragonese political actors agree."

Escartín argues that until mid-October there would be time to agree candidates, since he recognizes that the competence of the national candidacy is Iglesias. "But what I'm not going to do is shut up, because as things were done in April I didn't like it. Staying in a wrong still photo is a mistake." However, from the national leadership of Podemos, as with Rodríguez's request, the door is closed to new primary schools. Their position is the same as in the 2016 electoral repetition: they will be the same candidates because it is the same electoral cycle, since the bases voted for four years, not for a few months.

From the purple dome they argue that the formation has already chosen its candidates in primary schools and Echenique was voted to be the candidate for Zaragoza. Moreover, remember that after Pablo Iglesias and Irene Montero (both for Madrid), the candidacy for Zaragoza of Echenique was the most voted by the registered of Podemos in all Spain.
