The six left-wing parties that have agreed to run together in the next elections in Andalusia will launch a new electoral brand on April 18, sources from the negotiation confirm to this newspaper. The single candidacy brings together IU, Podemos, Más País, Equo, Alianza Verde and the Andalusian People’s Initiative, which have renounced their initials to form an electoral coalition with a new name.
The six parties have already distributed the work to design the electoral program, the strategy, the communication, the campaign and the intermediation with social agents and professionals from different fields who seek to add to their political project. Among them, an independent person must come out who will assume the candidacy for the Presidency of the Andalusian Government, since the six formations have agreed that it cannot be any of their leaders.
This decisive step has also been agreed with the respective national directorates, assuming that their projects are represented in Andalusia by this new “broad front”. In the case of United We Can, which is part of the coalition government with the PSOE, it is especially significant, because it implies that the purple brand that Pablo Iglesias created in his day is diluted in a broad-spectrum confluence that seeks to resemble the platform that The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, is the flag bearer.
Through trusted people, Díaz asked the Andalusian left-wing leaders for a degree of agreement greater than 80%, as a condition sine qua non to become actively involved in the upcoming election campaign. Now those questioned trust that the vice president will participate in at least three powerful acts, and that the Andalusian confluence will act as an advance guard for her political project on a national scale.
