IU and Sumar Register Aragón Coalition as Podemos and CHA Run Separately

Fragmented slates highlight unresolved alliances across Spain’s left.

Overview

  • Izquierda Unida and Movimiento Sumar filed a joint coalition in Aragón just hours before the registration deadline for the 8 February election.
  • Podemos Aragón will compete on a separate list led by María Goicoechea after talks failed to deliver a single slate.
  • Chunta Aragonesista confirmed it will run alone, leaving three candidacies to the PSOE’s left on the regional ballot.
  • IU and Sumar said they will finalize candidate lists and a joint programme for Aragón in the coming days.
  • Leaders traded accusations over unity efforts, with IU citing national-level vetoes by Podemos as national negotiations and leadership questions continue despite Extremadura’s recent unified-list boost.
