The possible coalition, more tense: Sumar Galicia seeks to attract "people" and Podemos believes that it would not be understood to be separated

Paulo Carlos López refers to the statements of Marta Lois and claims that Sumar Galicia is the "detonator of change"

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, December 7 (EUROPA PRESS) -

The negotiations for a left-wing coalition continue the escalation of tension in recent days, aggravated by the situation in Congress in which the five Podemos deputies decided to leave Sumar's group and go to the Mixed Party. Thus, after publicly announcing that they were "temporarily paralyzing" the talks pending a statement from the purple formation, the spokesperson for Sumar Galicia, Paulo Carlos López, focused this Thursday on opening the doors of the project to "people" and, When asked about political parties, he answered in the same way.

Furthermore, the spokesperson in Galicia for the formation led by Yolanda Díaz has referred to the words of Marta Lois in which she said that she saw it as "difficult" to close a coalition in Galicia with Podemos and, asked why it is more complicated in this territory that in Euskadi (where the talks continue), Paulo Carlos López has adhered to the words of the representative for A Coruña.

In this situation, sources from Podemos Galicia have reiterated that their organization has "complete autonomy" over the Galician process and their "priority" is "an agreement that allows the PP to be kicked out of the Xunta." "Citizens would not understand that the left was divided by issues that have nothing to do with Galicia," the same sources have emphasized.

Likewise, the organization has said that it is Sumar that has to "explain" why in Euskadi the talks "continue" and in Galicia "it seems that they are suspended" and the negotiations have been stopped for "weeks."

In this regard, Paulo Carlos López has also been asked by the media about whether contacts will be resumed, but he has not clarified this point, although the sources consulted by Europa Press have confirmed that a new three-way contact was planned ( Esquerda Unida-Izquierda Unida, Podemos Galicia and Sumar Galicia) in the coming days and which, in principle, remains valid.

Thus, in statements to the media this Thursday, the spokesperson for Sumar Galicia stressed that this formation "remains open to people who share the progressive, environmentalist principles of transformative public policies." "Sumar Galicia did not move, it remains open to dialogue with people who feel called to participate in this space; the doors are open and will always be open," he emphasized.

Paulo Carlos López has stressed that Sumar Galicia "will continue making its policies, its proposals and will not stop." "We are tired of the internal noise and I think that what citizens want is for us to do politics, we are here for that," he added.

Then, regarding the space for dialogue with other formations, he referred to what was said by Marta Lois, also in what has to do with other political formations. Asked if this means that, implicitly, the dialogue with the parties is more complicated by referring only to people, Paulo Carlos López has insisted that he refers to his spokesperson in Congress, the Galician Marta Lois, who is also part of the promoter by Sumar Galicia.

"We continue in the same place, dialogue between people and groups that feel challenged to build Sumar Galicia," said López, who has defended that his formation is in a listening process to "advance in the electoral program", to to attend to the "attacked" groups and that "the reasonable thing is to situate the debate in the policies and proposals." "We are not here to talk about internal problems," she said.

Paulo Carlos López has indicated, also in response to questions from journalists, that the presentation of the promoter is still scheduled for next week (after having postponed the initial forecast), which will include, among others, the former mayor of Ferrol, Jorge Suárez, present this Thursday at the meeting with the Nurses group in Loita.

The spokesperson for Sumar Galicia has said that this promoter will be "representative at a territorial and political level" and "will allow the establishment of a political direction that will allow it to participate in the next elections" to "generate an alternative to the PP." In this sense, he has asserted that "if there is an alternative government to the PP it is because Sumar Galicia is there" and has agreed that this formation is "necessary to build an alternative government."

In line with this, and asked about how a division in this space with two candidates would be understood, López has been forceful in stating that "Adding Galicia is the trigger for political change."
