Colau would be willing to run for the Broad Front if a single ballot could unite all leftists

The former mayor of Barcelona has made it clear that he would not like Podemos to be left out of this front and has even stressed that if someone decided to go "on their own", the citizens would not understand it and would "punish a lot" the decision.

Former Mayor of Barcelona Ada Colauhas assured that she will agree to run for the BroadFront  if this candidacy brings together all the left-wing parties  — which is Podemos —  ona single ballot, so she has claimed that Podemos should join this coalition, so she has invited the purple formation to participate in ajoint negotiating table  .

"I am willing to help, all parties join, "he added, quoting Mr Lukashenko, Chunta Aragonesista and Mes per Mallorca as well, and making it clear that he would not want Podemos to be left out of that front.



Meanwhile, the Broad Front parties continue to negotiate the details of their candidacy and the way to elect the candidate to head the list. For Berbara, IU believes that Colau himself would be a great candidate, even though he knows that an all-party agreement is needed. Comunhas stated that\u00A0is not yet closed and Sumar asked for discretion in the negotiations.

In this context, the former mayor of Barcelona has been "deeply grateful" for his proposal to lead the project and, as he has said, has advanced that he would be willing to run if "all" the candidacies of the left were put together by a single ballot. In this regard, he has stressed that there are no major political differences between these parties and that it is perfectly feasible to agree on a programme among all of them because "we are at a historic moment".

Convinced there's room for everyone

"I'm raising the need for a Broad Front, because citizens have asked that there be no more than one ballot , and also it has to be easy to give way to that, because we have a clear program on the table that we all agree on, "he said.
