The divorce between Pablo Iglesias and Teresa Rodríguez is consummated. After years of political differences, accentuated in recent months by the entry of United We in the Government with the PSOE and the refusal of the national leadership to give more autonomy to Rodriguez, the Andalusian leader departs.

He will not choose to renew his leadership in Podemos Andalucía . In this way, it opens the way for Iglesias to take over the only region that was critical of his management. It will take control of the only federation that has questioned its strategy and decisions. Rodriguez will communicate his decision officially this Thursday.

His departure was an open secret. In fact, it was already taken for granted by Iglesias himself this week. "If your political approach is incompatible with the decisions that are made, it seemed logical to them to leave. We will respect it," the leader of Podemos said Monday in an interview, in which he already anticipated that he had spoken with Rodriguez and with José María González , aka Kichi , the mayor of Cádiz, and the other prominent leader of Podemos Andalucía.

In that conversation, Iglesias reiterated that he was not going to give them more autonomy, nor the status they enjoy at United We can Ada Colau's commons , which was Rodriguez's aspiration: his own entity and voice in Congress.

"They have transmitted to me the debates they are having and what is the orientation. It is evident that Teresa wants to build a progressive party of Andalusian scope and Podemos is a statewide formation that will exist throughout the country," Iglesias said, cutting off the claims of the management of Podemos Andalucía.

Of course, Iglesias already took for granted his departure, but opens the door to close pacts with the future formation of Rodriguez.
