Overview
- A political report authored by IU leader Antonio Maíllo concludes Sumar cannot unite the broader left, with a debate and vote scheduled in the Coordinadora Federal on Saturday.
- The proposal demands a different name for the umbrella, a programmatic pact, open primaries, respect for party autonomy, and coordinated territorial work.
- IU will convene its federations on 22 January to align national and regional efforts, with an early‑2026 launch target for the rebranded alliance.
- IU, Más Madrid, Comuns and Movimiento Sumar have been exploring an agreement to present common candidacies in the next general election.
- The plan also urges clearer distance from PSOE inside the government, with IU setting its own positions on foreign policy, NATO and housing.
