The Broad Front said it tried to reach an agreement with Podemos, but turned the page: "No more drama."
Podemos's candidate, Irene Montero, has accused the Broad Front of preferring to compromise in the Senate with the PSOE and has ensured that the differences that exist are not because of the lists, but because of her management in the Spanish Government and her "proximity" to the PSOE.
The State coalition of a fortnight of left-wing parties led by Frontera Zalbala, Izquierda Unida, Sumarre, Mas Madrid and Comuns presented this afternoon in the auditorium of Linear Manzanares Park in Madrid the list leader, Ada Colau.
Colau referred to the failure of Podemos's attempt to join the coalition , as the Broad Front and Podemos were unable to reach an agreementwhenthe registration of the partnerships was about to close.
Colau, who has acknowledged that these days were "difficult" times, has said he understands the disappointment caused by Podemos's exclusion from the Broad Front coalition. He has argued that they tried "until the last minute" to seek an agreement and that they acted "without lowering their arms" and "with great generosity."
"His hand stretched out. But if someone doesn't want to sit at a table, they can't be forced. That's right, "said the former mayor of Barcelona. He added that "it will be the last time they will hear him talk about acronyms or parties." "Every effort has been made and the hand will continue to be extended. We will stop talking about acronyms and, of course, they will not hear bad words from other people from progressive parties," he said.
Montero, who has put forward his candidacy, has reproached the Frente Amplio party for preferring to compromise with the PSOE in the Senate.
For her part, the MEP of Podemos and former Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, has presented her candidacy for the general election on 29 November, accusing members of the Broad Front of preferring topresent a joint list in the Senate with the PSOE rather than concluding electoral agreements with Podemos in several autonomous communities.
He said so during his appearance at the Council of Citizens of the State of Podemos, where, following negotiations between the left-wing parties for the general elections, the purple formation has reached a cooperation agreement with ERC and pacts in the Canary Islands and the Valencian Community, but has failed in the rest of Spain.
Montero endorsesGabriel Rufian 's "show" apology for Friday's negotiations.
The Podemos candidate has claimed that the difficulties in reaching agreements with the Broad Front parties were not due to the organization of the lists, but to the "serious political disagreements" they have maintained for years.
The Broad Front will elect Basque candidates on Tuesday
Having failed to reach an agreement, Fronte Zabala and Podemos will appear separately in the Basque Country and Navarre in the general election on 29 November.
Next Tuesday afternoon, members of the Broad Front will meet to elect and discuss the candidates. Lander Martinez's name is on the table as the head of the list for Bizkaia.
