With just over six months of life and only one of the legislature at full capacity, Sumar’s coalition is showing its feet of clay. Embarking 15 parties into an alliance for the general elections was already a really difficult task for Yolanda DiazHowever, that complexity is falling far short of the internal challenge of keeping the glue that united them intact.
So much so that Podemos has already been erased from this left-wing alternative club to the PSOE, which violently slammed the door at the beginning of December and has now declared war on its former colleagues for the European elections. His abandonment might not be an exception. Canary Islands Dragothe training he leads Alberto Rodriguezhas been the last partner to raise its voice against the “centralized” and undemocratic functioning of the alliance and has threatened in the last week to seek new paths.
These recent criticisms are far from being two isolated cases. It’s been three months since United Leftone of the large organizations that make up Sumar, expressed strong discomfort with the way in which coexistence and the distribution of power quotas were being managed and complained through Alberto Garzon face drastic changes to “democratize” the decision-making that Díaz and his close team of collaborators were monopolizing. His bitter complaint fit with what Podemos had been expressing at the time, although in other, more forceful ways.
Likewise, Green Alliance -the small environmental party of Juantxo López de Uralde which orbits around Podemos – has two more feet outside than inside Sumar after being marginalized on the electoral lists and seeing how A horse He has kept the candy from the Animal Rights Directorate.
Compromís does not radiate happiness either. He has suffered a powerful disappointment with the approval of the Port of Valencia by the Council of Ministers at the request of the PSOE without Díaz being able to stop it. This affects how he will respond by hardening his position in Congress regarding issues that affect the Valencian Community. Furthermore, Compromís is especially upset with the movements of the Sumar party in its territory, such as to coordinate in Alicante with former figures of its formation, as reported last Friday The vanguard.
