In the words of the four organizations, the 21st will be the starting point for building a common, shared and open alliance for the next general election, an area that will be "solid and reliable over time." Not for nothing, the idea is to activate, beyond the electoral context, a progressive social movement based on horizontal and twinning cooperation, while ensuring the autonomy of each institution. 

"Our intention is to strengthen the alliance that we have developed in these years of government. To learn from mistakes and to strengthen those that have been well done ," they say from Sumar, Comuns, IU and Mas Madrid.

That is why they say that the 21st day will be a "push and an invitation" to a new project, "from openness, generosity, diversity, agreement and shared strength." "It's the beginning, the first step, but we'll go much further," they add.

With the intention of reflecting on the future of the left, the event will take place three days after ERC spokesman Gabriel Rufián met with the leader of Mas Madrid, Emilio Delgado.  has recently been working in Rufià for the construction of a plurinational union with "less purity and more head", but, in fact, some parties have coldly welcomed his approach, including ERC itself.
