The crash of 19-J reopens the wounds of the left: IU blames Podemos and Teresa Rodríguez for the fiasco

• Elections The coalition of Por Andalucía, better political business for Podemos than for IU

• Results The division of Por Andalucía and Adelante Andalucía joins the left in a "disruption"

• United Podemos broad front, incapable of making its five ministers profitable: it fails in all the elections since it came to the Government

The

between the parties to the left of the PSOE are festering again just a week after elections in which their fragmentation has given them the worst results in their history.

The electoral fiasco of Por Andalucía -the coalition of the left with IU, Podemos, Más País, Verdes Equo, the Andalusian People's Initiative and the Green Alliance- has put on the table the unresolved differences and the anger of one of the greats of the coalition, United Left, for which the political business has been ruinous, with only one deputy in Parliament out of the five obtained.

The discomfort was verbalized this Saturday by the regional coordinator of IU, Toni Valero, before the Coordinating Commission gathered to analyze the electoral blow and before which he was forceful, affirming, among other things, that the agreement signed with Podemos by which the starting positions on the lists of 19-J was

before the deadline for registration in the registry closed.

Valero, in a report that received the

of the IU's governing body, was very critical in his examination of what happened just a week ago and had no doubts when pointing out Teresa Rodríguez, the leader de Adelante Andalucía, and to the state leadership of Podemos.

The lefts as a whole, including Adelante, obtained

last Sunday , 12.6% less than four years ago, and Por Andalucía took 281,688 ballots compared to 167,970 for Adelante Andalucía.

Another 136,291 went to other parties or abstained.

For Valero, this collapse is explained, fundamentally, by two factors.

The first, that

compete with each other in the same space, Por Andalucía and Adelante Andalucía.

If it had not been so, he said yesterday before the IU leadership, instead of the seven seats they add up to, they could have obtained up to twelve.

And most importantly, "the PP would not have achieved an absolute majority," he added.

In light of this analysis, the regional leader of the United Left pointed directly at Teresa Rodríguez, asserting that "nobody understood, least of all now, the

and not to the meeting", in a clear allusion to the decision of the leader of the anti-capitalists for not joining the front of the left.

Blockade from Madrid

At this point, he recalled that the last legislature was "traumatic" precisely because of the

that they formed with Rodríguez and his most loyal deputies after leaving these Podemos.

"That made noise even the campaign itself," Valero lamented.

To this was added a second factor, the

of the negotiations from March by the state leadership of Podemos.

that transferred to Andalusia "the tension in the state political space" and that led to the gruesome episode of the registration without Podemos in the electoral register after a pact in extremis.

were fixed

for each formation, was "a swallow" for the United Left, as it denounced yesterday, a "terrible agreement" that was signed because the alternative was "a fragmentation in which nobody would have obtained parliamentary group».

These tensions not only did not disappear during the campaign, but, Valero denounced, they were repeated during the campaign with the "untimely" dismissal of the chief of staff of the Ministry of Equality,

, leader of the IU.

The "bad result", insisted Valero, has resulted in an "

in the parliamentary group", where only the candidate for the Presidency, Inma Nieto, is from IU.

Podemos will have, instead, three parliamentarians and Más País, one.

This despite the fact that Izquierda Unida is the formation with the

in Andalusia and with more muscle in the community, a weight that its regional coordinator claimed in his report with data: IU contributed 4,726 proxies on 19-J and Podemos only 644.

Facing the

that will be held in May of next year, he urged to learn from mistakes and design the candidacies with more time, always under the umbrella of Por Andalucía and the broad front that Vice President Yolanda Díaz wants to lead.

In relation to the electoral campaign, he recognized that they were not able to offer "a feasible alternative" to the PP and that led to the demobilization of the progressive electorate.

But he also pointed to the polls and the media, whom he accused of fixing in public opinion that the PP's victory was "inexorable."
