Podemos has emphasized on Monday the call to Yolanda Díaz to seek "unity" in the space after the survey of EL MUNDO in which it is certified that the division into two candidacies would mean a decrease for the alternative left to the PSOE in the general elections.
"It is unquestionable that it is incontrovertible that unity is necessary," said the co-spokesman of Podemos, Pablo Fernández, who has remarked that beyond the specific polls "the Electoral Law in Spain is what it is". "That is why we continue to say that it is better that there is a coalition agreement between Podemos and Sumar with the clear objective of revalidating the coalition government to be able to continue carrying out social policies and continue transforming with more force," he concluded.
A survey by Sigma Dos for EL MUNDO shows on Monday the two possible scenarios: that of a unitary candidacy and that of Podemos and Sumar separately. In the first, the joint list yields a result of 45 seats for the space while facing would be 43. Two less. With Yolanda Díaz achieving 35 deputies for the eight of the purple.
The unit would now give more seats even though separately it is able to question more people. But the Electoral Law greatly penalizes the division into small provinces. Sigma Dos estimates a voting intention of 16.3% going together while on its own Sumar would achieve 12.3% and Podemos 5.5%. That would give 17.8%.
At a press conference of the national leadership of Podemos, Fernández explained that his party is open to reaching an agreement with Díaz despite not having gone to wrap her up at the presentation of her candidacy. "But not so much because of what the polls say, but because we consider that it is the way to revalidate and reissue the coalition government," he said.
The also co-spokeswoman, Isa Serra, has abounded in that Podemos has "willingness to agree" and has placed the ball in Díaz's court. "She has to decide if she wants to be the candidate of the unit," she stressed.
Serra has acknowledged that they have not yet heard from the vice president about the role she will assume in the electoral campaign. Podemos has asked her to participate actively to support the candidates of Unidas Podemos, but she has been expressing her reservations about holding acts where the space of the alternative left is confronted. As are the cases of Madrid, Valencia, Aragon, Canary Islands or Asturias.
Despite this, Podemos insists and puts more pressure on Díaz, to whom they have wanted to transfer "the political importance that has" the result of those elections in the future generals. Hence, it insists on asking for "clear support" to the candidates of Unidas Podemos.
