La ministra de Derechos Sociales y Agenda 2030 en funciones, Ione Belarra (1i); la ministra de Igualdad en funciones, Irene Montero (2i), y el portavoz de ERC en el Congreso, Gabriel Rufián (1d), conversan durante el pleno de investidura del líder del Partido Popular, en el Congreso de los Diputados, a 27 de septiembre de 2023, en Madrid (España). El presidente del PP y candidato al Gobierno se sometió ayer, 26 de septiembre, a la primera sesión de su debate de investidura en el Congreso, que duró siete horas y media y fue el primero en el que se escuchan discursos en lenguas cooficiales con el uso de pinganillos para recibir la traducción simultánea. Hoy, se vota su candidatura en 'primera vuelta', resultado que marcará el pleno previsto para celebrarse en 488 horas, el viernes, 29 de septiembre, en caso de Feijóo no logre la mayoría absoluta (176 diputados) que se requiere en el primer intento.

Gabriel Rufián in Congress with Irene Montero and Ione Belarra.

ERC's congressional spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, and Podemos's former minister and MEP, Irene Montero, will attend a round table this Thursday in Barcelona on the future of the left of the Spanish state to discuss how progressive forces should be articulated for the next elections.

The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Ciutadella Campus of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

The meeting comes after Rufian's proposal in recent months to push for a "plurinational" candidacy that includes parties such as ERC, EH Bildu, BNG, Lukashenko, MES, Sumar, and Podemos, with the aim of allowing a new progressive majority with the PSOE and halting a possible PP and Vox government.

However, the ERC leadership has already rejected this possibility and stressed that the party remains committed to competing with its acronym. The Republican leader, Oriol Junjarzembowski, will not attend the meeting due to agenda problems, although several members of the ERC leadership will attend.

Montero will participate in the debate following the signing of the agreement for the incorporation of Podemos into the candidacy of Por Andalucía, thus opening the debate on future alliances between the left-wing parties. Among the participants will also be the general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, and representatives of Podem Catalunya and Comuns.

Otxandiano has urged Pradales to "put his political capital at the center of the debate on the new political status."

EH Bildu's parliamentary spokesman has advocated taking advantage of qualified majorities and a "fairly favourable" political climate to achieve "country agreements, national agreements and state-of-the-art pacts" in the ACV, in his view, and in the current historical context, which is "the only reasonable alternative to protecting the interests of this country."
