• 12-J. Pablo Iglesias has no shield: debacle in Galicia and the Basque Country despite governing
  • Podemos. The critical sector of Podemos asks Churches for responsibilities for the electoral "defeat"
  • Consequences. Pablo Iglesias imposes the law of silence after the electoral crash of his project

The digestion of electoral appointments in Galicia and the Basque Country is being heavy, slow, complex at United We Can. The debacle - it disappears in Galicia and loses almost half of deputies in the Basque Country - has hit the purple formation hard . While a kind of silence law has been established in Podemos, waiting for its Executive to meet in the coming days, in IU they have already addressed a first reflection on the results. The party led by Alberto Garzón identifies as a deficit the "organizational strength, territorial implantation and social ties to make it a really useful project" and is committed to "deepening" its "transformative agenda" to minimize fiasco.

All the actors that make up Unidas Podemos called on Sunday for "deep reflection" and "self-criticism". The United Left Collegiate Commission , unlike Podemos, has already carried out a first approach to the causes of the increase from 14 to 0 deputies in Galicia or from 11 to 6 in the Basque Country. One of the conclusions that can be drawn from his reflection is that training, as it was confirmed, has not been able to make his presence in the Government profitable. To alleviate this must, IU proposes "a deepening of its transformative [government] agenda to expedite the necessary changes that demonstrate that it is possible to govern in another way, that is, at the service of working families."

In other words, accentuate the commitment to measures that can bear their seal, that serve to set their profile against the PSOE and the possible negotiation that the Executive may undertake in the face of Budgets with training such as Citizens. "The Government must translate into an impulse for the construction of democratic counterpowers that not only broaden the social base of support for the Government, but also acquire their own dynamics beyond the institutional agenda," maintains the formation of Minister Garzón's party.

This bet would translate into taking into account the demands of social movements and taking them to the meetings of the Council of Ministers , to try to regain a connection with the citizens that they see weakened. "The left is an alternative government when it is capable of inserting itself into civil society and the daily life of citizens, overcoming the limitations of the institutional sphere. This expansion of political action requires democratic spaces with dynamics and participation mechanisms."

The "internal confrontation"

The United Left Collegiate Commission also delves into one of the problems that members of Podemos have already expressed as one of the causes of its poor results in the electoral cycle that ended on Sunday: the lack of structure and implementation of training in Spain, beyond Madrid . "We need much more than good government management. Our political project needs organizational strength, territorial implantation and social ties to be a really useful project."

From IU they conclude that the Basque and Galician elections "have shown us more crudely the main teaching of the regional elections of May 26, 2019: it is essential to invest resources and efforts to build organization throughout a country with the territorial complexity of ours. "

And although the member of Podemos is committed to maintaining the coalition and does not plan to attend the next elections alone, he does send a warning to the Iglesias party: "The images of division and internal confrontation that have accompanied us in recent years detract credibility from our political project and are a drag on the necessary reconfiguration of the space of United We Can.
