While Gabriel Rufián embarks on a nearly solitary journey. To forge alliances with left-wing forces across the country, Sumar took the initiative, opting for a more direct approach. Following discreet discussions over the past few months, they announced a new coalition with Comunes, Más Madrid, and Izquierda Unida for the upcoming general elections. The presentation of this new "common alliance" will take place on Saturday, February 21st, at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. Sources from the four political formations, which are the only ones represented in the Council of Ministers, explain that in eleven days they will publicly launch a "process to build a common, shared, and open alliance" for the elections scheduled for 2027: "We want to build a solid space where the plurinational peoples of the State can come together," they assert. This will be a kind of revalidation after Sumar's three years of experience as a platform that Yolanda Díaz was solemnized in April 2023Now, the four parties—which ran on June 23rd with Compromís, Chunta Aragonesista, and Més—aim to strengthen the alliance, learn from past mistakes, and build on successes. They also invite political and social forces concerned about the country's future and committed to advancing rights to join them. "This is a time for openness, generosity, pluralism, agreement, and shared strength. This is the beginning, the first step. We will go much further," they affirm.
