Overview

  • Izquierda Unida and Movimiento Sumar registered a joint coalition just hours before the deadline for the 8 February Aragón election.
  • IU–Sumar named Marta Abengochea as its candidate for regional president, with list details and program to follow.
  • Podemos Aragón will run a solo list headed by María Goicoechea after saying its offer was to replicate the Unidas por Extremadura formula.
  • Chunta Aragonesista will also compete separately with Jorge Pueyo as its candidate, denouncing decisions driven from outside Aragón.
  • IU figures accused Podemos’ national leadership of vetoing deals that included Sumar, underscoring strategic rifts after Extremadura’s unity result of 10.2% and seven seats.
