Rita Maestre presented the event.

The four political forces that make up the Sumar coalition (Izquierda Unida, Mas Madrid, Catalunya en Comú and the Sumar Movement) have confirmed that they will stand together in the next general election and have held an act of refounding the coalition in Madrid.

The hall of the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid has been small, as the crowd has approached. The event has begun late. On the stage, Ministers Ernest Urtasun, Monica García and Pablo Bustinduy, IU leader Antonio Maillo, Lara Hernández, spokesperson for the Summa, and Rita Maestre, spokesperson for Mas Madrid atthe Madrid City Council.

" This project is open to all political forces and social movements, "said Lara Hernandez (Sumar), who warned that" we must learn from mistakes. "" We must change if we want everything to change. We cannot start again from scratch, "he added. 

In the same vein, Ernest Urtasun, Minister and member of Catalunya en Comú, said that "no one who does not exclude himself is left over." He stressed that "people are not asking us to be equal, but to make the way together." 

The same view is shared by Antonio Maillo (IU), who said that "unity is the only element that ensures that we remain important." 

The leader of Mas Madrid, Rita Maestre, believes that "cousin fights will not help us. We cannot repeat past mistakes." 

On the other hand, everyone has stressed the importance of the political moment. "It is the most important battle of our time," stresses Maestre. Lara Hernández believes that "we cannot let despair be overcome. There is nothing more reactionary than to say that there is nothing to do," she says.

ERC MP Gabriel Rufián's proposal this week has also been discussed. For Minister Ernest Urtasun, it is very positive to study electoral arithmetic to defeat the right, but he has stressed that before that there is a project. "Arithmetic is very necessary, but elections are not won by sociology. It takes a victorious political project, and that is what we have come to present today," he said.
