Overview
- Sumar is the only national force without a confirmed candidate because Yolanda Díaz has not said whether she will run.
- IU leader Antonio Maíllo is demanding open primaries as the condition for Díaz to be the coalition’s nominee, signaling an internal challenge.
- Possible alternatives are circulating, with Pablo Bustinduy declining the role as Ernest Urtasun and Ada Colau are discussed by allies.
- Junts’ stance in Congress derailed Díaz’s flagship 37.5-hour workweek plan, though Sumar’s leadership contends the pressure from Junts will ebb.
- Reporting indicates the PSOE’s electoral strategy is sidelining Sumar in government and dampening Díaz’s visibility.
