The following report highlights an important international development currently attracting worldwide attention.
The keys Generated with AI Movimiento Sumar opens the door to temporary alliances with pro-independence forces, after the offer of Gabriel Rufián (ERC) to lead the left. The draft of Sumar’s new political document redefines his roadmap and harshly criticizes the PSOE, which he describes as a “factory of disappointment.” Sumar is committed to a broad left-wing front, with common norms and open primaries to elect lists, without mentioning Podemos in the text. The party insists that the unity of the left must be based on clear leadership and an attractive common line, beyond the simple sum of parties. The Sumar Movement party opens the door in its new political document to “temporary alliances” with pro-independence forces, after the offer of Gabriel Rufián (ERC) to lead the left, and also harshly criticizes its PSOE government partner, which it describes as a “factory of disappointment”. In the draft of the political document, approved on Thursday with 90% support at the meeting of the Sumar Movement coordination group (the highest governing body between assemblies), the party redefines its roadmap in the midst of its internal crisis and after Yolanda Díaz’s announcement that she will not repeat as a candidate in the next general elections. The text will be approved with possible amendments in the extraordinary assembly on July 11, in which the leadership of Movimiento Sumar will foreseeably be renewed with a list of unity to try to solve the political battle that has pitted the current leader, Lara Hernández, with the until now Secretary of Organization, Laura Moreno. Possible “conjunctural alliance” In its new political document, Movimiento Sumar points out that the party has gone from being a “political umbrella” for the formations located on the left from the PSOE to one more member of the so-called “broad front” together with IU, Más Madrid and the commons, all of them now immersed in the refoundation of the Sumar coalition. A coalition that is waiting to designate a candidate and that remains open to more incorporations, but in which Movimiento Sumar sets limits on the relationship they can establish with other left-wing forces that advocate “independence”. “We are not going to build a common subject with forces that have ideas of the State different from ours, but we can build a common program and a conjunctural alliance,” he indicates. In this way, the party to which Yolanda Díaz belongs opens the door to a possible electoral coalition with the ERC spokesperson in Congress, Gabriel Rufián, who has offered to lead the left in the next general elections. The PSOE, “factory of disappointment” In the document, Movimiento Sumar says that what distinguishes it from others strength is his commitment to an “eco-socialist labor” and advocates continuing to govern after the next elections with the PSOE if the numbers give, although he does not skimp on criticism of his current partners in the coalition Executive. “The PSOE cannot be the vector that defines the direction of our country because it is a factory of disappointment and sad passions,” he affirms, while accusing the socialists of “lack of political orientation.” Sumar Movement recognizes the “wear and tear” that the progressive forces are suffering in this legislature and He attributes it to the “lawfare cases” but also to the “corruption cases in the PSOE”, and also mentions the Plus Ultra case, in which the former president of the Government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is accused. “It is a clear mirror that the political solution of our country does not go through the Socialist Party”, he insists. Unity with a “clear leadership” On the other hand, Movimiento Sumar underlines in the text its commitment to a “broad front” of the left, with common operating rules and election of lists through a system of open primaries. The document does not mention Podemos, which remains outside the refoundation of the Sumar coalition, but Yolanda Díaz’s party warns that a unity candidacy “will be successful not to the extent that it unites everyone under its mantle, but fundamentally if it is capable of building a clear leadership and an attractive common line.” In this sense, it emphasizes that unity should not be based on the “sum of the parts”, but on “something greater than them that constitute a space that is reliable, calm, stable, healthy, pleasant and attractive.” And he recognizes that in the territories, taking into account the result of the recently held regional elections, “the defense of a unity of the state left has not been enough” and territorial forces with a “rebellious, fresh and popular” dimension had better results.
