We can, IU and Sumar stand in coalition for the Andalusian elections
The progressive parties have reached an agreement to join the Por Andalucía coalition, together with the Initiative del Pueblo Andaluz, Alternativa Republicana, Partido Verde and Alianza Verde.
The left-wing forces will stand together for the Andalusian elections on 17 May, in the Por Andalucia coalition, following an agreement between Podemos, the United Left, Sintre and other political parties.
The purpose of the candidacy is to strengthen a "common space" that brings together different progressive groups, including the Andalusian People's Initiative, the Republican Alternative, the Green Party and the Green Alliance.
The agreement has been reached after more than ten hours of negotiation. This time, unlike previous calls, the coalition has not exhausted the deadlines and has been able to register. Por Andalucía has stressed that the addition of parties strengthens a "solid and known" alternative.
The coalition is now entering a new phase, the preparation of proposals and the preparation of the election campaign, in which the IU Federal Coordinator, Antonio Maillo, will be the candidate for the presidency of the Junta de Andalucía.
