Rufian and Montero together at a public event on the future of the left
The left-wing parties welcome the initiative that will take place on 9 April in Barcelona. Summary and PSOE welcome the actions and talks that will help build a left-wing front.
Gabriel Rufián, ERC spokesman at the Congress of Deputies, and Irene Montero, number two of Podemos, will take part in a public event on April 9 in Barcelona to discuss the situation and future of the left. The summary and the PSOE have seen the initiative in a positive way and have welcomed all the support to "try to build a space on the left of the PSOE."
According to ERC sources, what Rufián will have with Montero will be similar to the conversation he held in February in Madrid with the deputy of Más Madrid, Emilio Delgado, in which the Catalan deputy raised the need for the unity of the left-wing parties, from province to province, in order to curb the strength that the extreme right has shown in the last elections. The act with Irene Montero should not be interpreted as the beginning of a possible coalition.
Rufian shook the waters of the space on the left of the PSOE during his conversation with Delgado. Most of the parties that make up Sumar agreed with his diagnosis, but forces like ERC, EH Bildu, or BNG rejected a possible proposal to stand together for election.
For its part, Podemos continues to reject the joint project with Suma, a platform with which he ran for general election in 2023 and whose differences with Yolanda Díaz left Irene Montero off the lists.
However, this time Irene Montero herself has declared that "teaming up" with Gabriel Rufian is a "good idea."
Meanwhile, Sintre welcomes all events that contribute to the left "building the widest possible space or front."
Finally, the Vice-President of the Government and Deputy Secretary-General of the PSOE, María Jesús Montero, has welcomed the event and has stated that "the articulation of the left of the PSOE is important".
