Order, efficiency, method, but above all generosity. This is what the ERC spokesman at the Congress, Gabriel Rufián, has called on the left-wing parties of the Spanish state to form an "alternative" to the left in the PSOE and to anticipate Vox by territory. His proposal is to present the most supported left-wing candidacy in each territory.

He said the goal is to agree on a program and articulate a team in Congress that will work together to bring forward future laws. Respecting the space of each party, what he has put on the table is to work on three axes: "Each at home and anti-fascism, the right to decide and the conditions for a dignified life."  

Rufian said this at an event held in the Galilelo Galilei Hall in Madrid, in front of more than 500 people. To reflect on the future of the left, the ERC MP has organized a colloquium entitled 'Fighting the Present, Winning the Future', in which he has made it clear what the intention is: 'I want to win' and 'not just to excite'.

"Renunciation" 

He points out that one of the keys is the ability of left-wing parties to "resign" at various points to join a single candidate at the local level. "The important thing is not who, but how." 

In this regard, he has stressed that "excellent speeches" do not serve to confront the extreme right.  "Effectiveness and pragmatism are needed and divisions are avoided." 

The event was attended by the representative of Mas Madrid, Emilio Delgado, and led by journalist Sarah Santaolalla.  was attended by representatives of all the left-wing parties in the state except EH Bildu, Podemos and BNG.
