  • Esquerra Republicana’s central direction disavowed Gabriel Rufián’s initiative, labeling it a personal project with no party endorsement.
  • Potential partners including Bildu, the BNG, Compromís and Adelante Andalucía have distanced themselves and stepped back from talks.
  • Podemos’s leadership reiterated it is not in alliance discussions with Rufián and affirmed that the plan was never a party proposal.
  • Despite official rebuffs, Gabriel Rufián remains active on social media, sharing analyses and endorsements to keep the coalition idea alive.
