Podemos will compete with its own candidacy in the elections in Aragon and criticizes other left-wing formations, such as Chunta Aragonesista or IU, for not having taken into account its proposal to imitate a candidacy that followed the model of Unidas por Extremadura.
They therefore have … transferred from the purple formation to clarify that during the elections of February 8, he will appear on his own list led by his leader Maria Goicoechea.
Thus, the scenario of electoral fragmentation is looming on the left beyond the PSOE and everything indicates that there will be three candidates in space with the lists of Chunta Aragonesista, IU and Podemos.
In this regard, Podemos defends that in Aragon it proposed to other left-wing actors to form a candidacy that followed the model of Unidas por Extremadura, which last Sunday in the regional elections won seven seats and exceeded 10% of the votes. However, maintains that this proposal was not accepted by the rest of the formations, which the purple party regrets.
“Podemos Aragón aims to constitute a left to advance rights and confront the right and the far right in the Aragonese elections with a broad and plural candidacy,” added the party.
Likewise, he recalled that Goicoechea had obtained the support of the 88% of Podemos Aragón activism In the consultation held from December 19 to 22, she is an audiovisual technician, has worked in media such as Aragón TV, was director of the Aragonese Institute of Women (2019-2023) and has actively participated in feminist and neighborhood movements.
Podemos Aragón considers “this clearly left-wing candidacy as essential, given that the PSOE has proven incapable of responding to problems such as housing, has increased military spending and is surrounded by cases of corruption and machismo – of which its candidate, Pilar Alegría was the victim -, which only generates disappointment among the progressive electorate and strengthens the right and the far right”.
