The Andalusian left tries to close wounds and looks for formulas to save the coalition


United We Can, the alliance between Podemos and Izquierda Unida has been a few centimeters from falling off the cliff in Andalusia. Still, he even walks the tightrope waiting for both formations, together with Más País, Equo, Initiative and Alianza Verde, finish negotiating how to implement the political agreement that they reached last Friday, but which was not registered on time. The discrepancies of the last four days have made a dent in their relationship, both in Andalusia and at the national level, both formations recognize, but the objective now is to close wounds. With that idea, the candidate of Through Andalusia, Inma Grandson (IU), the leader of Podemos Juan Antonio Delgado and the leader of More Country in Andalusia, Hope Gomezwill offer this Wednesday an image of unity presenting the candidacy together.

It will be the first time that the three leaders, along with Sea Gonzalez (equo), Carmen Molina (Green Alliance) and Maria Jose Torre (Initiative), let them be seen together, apart from a few brief moments they shared last week at the Seville fair. The intention is to present the brand, Por Andalucía’, and the candidacy jointly. And, incidentally, try to temper the spirits that have been heating up. Even more so when the alliance is not yet safe.

The foundership

The difficulty lies, according to United Left sources, in complying with the section of the agreement referring to the distribution of economic subsidies received by the coalition. According to the text, Podemos will get 60% and IU 40%. However, the failure to register the alliance left the purples out, which prevents part of the grants go to your bank account since the party is not legally part of the coalition. This point has been a new focus of tensions between the partners.

Podemos accused the IU last Monday of not wanting to comply with what was signed, while those of Alberto Garzon They argued that it was necessarymodify aspects related to financing formulas” for comply “with the rules of the Court of Auditors”. However, this Tuesday, the waters calmed down a bit and the leaderships of both parties held various meetings to find a solution that would allow the agreement to be kept intact or, at least, to compensate the purple ones. In both games they are conciliatory and hope to find a way as soon as possible. What seems not to have been questioned was the configuration of the electoral lists. There is still time until they have to register next May 16.

The question of who is responsible for not delivering the document that contained the agreement reached on time is still latent and accusations are exchanged. We can ensure that you provided the files to IU almost 20 minutes before that the term expired, but Izquierda Unida maintains that this is not the case, that they were sent to two minute time limit, which made it impossible to register them. Beyond the disputes, the publicly expressed intention of all the actors is to comply with what is included in the agreement.

The document states that the candidate will be Inma Grandson (IU), which the purples consider a “resignation” on their part, after the direct request that came from Yolanda Diaz, since they wanted to place Juan Antonio Delgado, elected in the party’s primaries, at the head of the list. In addition, the purples will place their candidates as ‘number one’ in Cádiz, Granada, Córdoba and Huelvawhile Malaga, Jaen Y Almeria will be for UI and Seville for More Country. This part of the agreement has an easy resolution since when it comes to registering the lists, the purple candidates could be introduced as independents.
