Podemos Aragón to Run Solo in February Vote as IU and Sumar Form Their Own Alliance

The split follows failed talks to replicate the Unidas por Extremadura formula before the coalition registration deadline.

Overview

  • Podemos confirmed a single-party list for the 8 February regional election led by María Goicoechea.
  • Izquierda Unida and Sumar registered a joint coalition without Podemos just hours before the filing cutoff.
  • Reporting indicates the left of the PSOE will field three separate options: Chunta Aragonesista, IUSumar, and Podemos.
  • Podemos said its unity proposal modeled on Unidas por Extremadura was rejected by other parties and described its ticket as broad and plural.
  • Goicoechea was endorsed by 88% of Podemos Aragón members and previously directed the Aragonese Institute for Women, while former deputy Andoni Corrales has challenged the primary process.
