The event will be in Zaragoza after the ‘Spring Festival’ of Podemos. In Aragon the two forces concur separately
MADRID, 20 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The federal coordinator of Izquierda Unida (IU), Alberto Garzón, will turn this Saturday with the candidates of his formation to the elections of May 28 in Aragon and the Zaragoza City Council, in what will be his first act in the final stretch of the pre-campaign to these elections.
The formation has organized a festive event in Zaragoza, under the slogan ‘Feel the common’, which takes place just a week after Podemos launched its ‘Spring Festival’, also in this city and which was attended by the bulk of the purple candidates to 28M.
Aragon is precisely, together with Asturias, one of the communities where Podemos and IU concur in the regional and municipal elections alone, given that in the rest of the territories they have sealed coalition agreements.
In this way, as reported by sources from the formation, the also Minister of Consumption will cover the IU candidate for the Presidency of Aragon, Álvaro Sanz, and the candidate for the Mayor’s Office of Zaragoza with the Zaragoza en Común confluence, Elena Tomás.
IU is already disseminating the event through its social networks, which also includes a ‘musical vermouth’ with the performance of the rock group Dadá, where its main strategic and programmatic lines for this region will also be exposed.
In March IU held in Valencia the public presentation of its candidates for these regional and local elections with the presence of Garzón himself, who claimed that they go to the polls with “serious, viable and fair alternatives.”
For these elections, and under the slogan ‘We take care of what is close’, IU stands as the main municipalist formation within the left and has opted mainly for coalitions with other forces, mainly with Podemos and other parties.
Last Monday the formation took stock of its presence at 28M, where it will attend in coalition in more than a thousand applications (1,040) and will appear alone in 500 locations.
The alliance with Podemos, according to IU data, extends to 39 provincial capitals and increases its presence in these elections compared to 2019, given that four years ago it was present (in coalition or alone) in 1,300 candidacies.
