• Podemos Strategy Rearms Against Sumar: "We Have Stopped in Its Tracks the operation of replacing the left with one subservient to the regime"
  • Pacts The consultation of the bases of the 'new Podemos' complicates Sumar repeating the coalition of 23-J

The militancy of Podemos has backed by a large majority the new strategy to reinforce its "autonomy", the "strengthening as an organisation" and lay the foundations for future coalitions so that "the lists are configured through primaries and without vetoes". In this way, the purple party is trying to rearm itself against Sumar, the platform with which they competed in the general elections of 23-J, in the midst of the struggle for the distribution of portfolios in the face of the foreseeable re-edition of a two-color government with the PSOE.

"We have managed to stop in its tracks the operation of replacing us with the left servile to the regime," the general secretary of the formation, Ione Belarra, congratulated herself this Saturday at an event held at the Fernando de Rojas Theater in Madrid in implicit criticism of Yolanda Díaz, who left out of her candidacy the Minister of Equality. Irene Montero. "They don't fear us for what we have done, but for everything we have left to do," he added.

86.5% of the 30,883 registered voters who participated in the consultation endorsed with their vote the approval of the political document that culminates the "process of organizational strengthening" undertaken in September to "recover a strong Podemos" and with "the capacity to set the direction of the State" to "carry out democratic transformations, feminists and environmentalists farther than anyone before."

In a speech full of references to Díaz, Belarra has insinuated that Sumar will not have the capacity to influence the foreseeable re-edition of the coalition that has been at the head of La Moncloa for the last four years. "The PSOE is completely determined that in the government only the PSOE rules, it does and undoes as it pleases. In addition to being a profound political mistake, it is a huge irresponsibility," warned the leader of the purple party.

Independence

The final version of the political document that will mark the future of Podemos includes a direct warning to Sumar: the votes of its representatives in the institutions "must be negotiated and never given away". In this way, the purple formation definitively opens the door to go it alone during the legislature despite having run in coalition with Díaz's platform, with which it also shares a parliamentary group in the Congress of Deputies.

In the preliminary text, it already included a mechanism to prevent leaders and affiliates of the party from disembarking on Díaz's platform when it acquires the form of a party: prohibiting "dual militancy." In the final wording of the agreement, a further step has been taken by incorporating the express reference that its original trademark will never be diluted under other acronyms.
