The call for early elections for November 29 has activated movements in the alternative left, which is already working to organize its alliances for these elections, in a context where the distance between the space promoted by Sumar, now under the Broad Front project, and Podemos, is once again evident.
In parallel, these formations are trying to incorporate some of their current parliamentary allies and those from the 2023 candidacy into the future coalition, including Chunta Aragonesista, Compromís, and Més per Mallorca. To this end, the state organizations had called a meeting this Monday, although the aforementioned formations have chosen not to attend and instead open bilateral negotiations for the elections and verify if the political space offers a confederal relationship.
Compromís rejects organic integration
In the case of the Valencians, the spokesperson for Compromís in the autonomous parliament, Joan Baldoví, has ruled out that the coalition will organically integrate into the new Broad Front space. Baldoví explained that their strategy involves preparing a candidacy for the general elections in the community that is “100% Valencian”, with a ballot paper showing the coalition's name and with sufficient breadth to accommodate other progressive parties.
The Valencian leader stressed that the name of Compromís “must appear” on the ballot paper and insisted, “with full force”, that the formation does not participate in meetings about the Broad Front platform.
According to Joan Baldoví, the will of Compromís is to promote a “brave” brand “made from here, not from Madrid”, with which they aspire to “help build a progressive majority in Congress”. With this premise, the Valencian coalition seeks to maintain its own identity in the new scenario opened by the early elections.
