Rufián: The Spanish Left’s Potential Candidate? Podcast Analysis

Gabriel Rufián has announced a meeting, next week, at the Galileo room in Madrid, with the Más Madrid politician Emilio Delgado. It could be just another meeting, but we have had months of rumors and, in recent days, concrete news: Gabriel Rufián is considering proposing a broad candidacy, a large leftist front for the general elections. In that electoral coalition would be, precisely… all the parties that have already said no: Sumar, Izquierda Unida, Podemos, BNG, Bildu… Even Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, his own party, has said no. We would say that Rufián’s confluence is stillborn, but Spanish politics is full of candidates that were born… despite what their parties said.

We review Gabriel Rufián’s career as ERC spokesperson in the Congress of Deputies and analyze the possibilities that this project has of moving forward with journalists from elDiario.es Alberto Ortiz and Arturo Puente.
