The Izquierda Unida party will inaugurate a new era immediately after Alberto Garzón’s departure from politics, which he will preside over on Friday with a farewell speech by his federal coordinator after his decision not to repeat the 23J election lists and to leave the coalition government. .
From now on, the party is preparing to adjust its organization in order to “strengthen itself and face challenges in the best possible conditions.” Until the Thirteenth Assembly of the International Federation, the person in charge of the organization, Ismael González, will coordinate the work. One of the challenges the party faces is participating in building Sumer, which it faces organizing as a party in the coming months. A process in which the IU participated from the first minute by making its political organization available to Sumar. Regarding this organization, the party is clear and asks Yolanda Díaz’s party to “clarify” whether it “intends” to build a broad space “with the participation of people and political organizations” that will allow for the construction of popular participation processes, or if it “aims to reproduce classic party schemes with mechanisms.” It does not favor the participation of people and organizations.” This is reflected in the draft political report that will be presented and discussed today at the Federal Coordinator’s meeting.
The party states that since the last federal coordinator, meetings of the Executive Group of Somar have been held, in which Representative Enrique Santiago and the current Minister of Youth and Children, Serra Rigo, have been held, where “elements of the party.” The political situation and proposal on the process of formation of the unitary space of Sumar have been launched.”
Looking forward to building SUMAR, which will begin with the creation of a promotional group, IU reiterates its commitment to “devoting itself to the work A shared democratic and pluralistic space,” although he realizes that this “will not depend only on our will.” He is comfortable, representative and involved. He asserts, as he did two months ago, that the “Sumer Party” should be “just another party,” that is, it should not act As a dominant party.
The IU demands that the already operational SUMAR Alliance Promotion Group be completed through advance engagement with the organizations that make up the alliance as well as the implementation of tools to improve coordination between organizations and create spaces for democratic and grassroots participation. These tools will serve as spaces for coordination between organizations and spaces for popular participation.
In the draft political report, Izquierda Unida expressed pleasure that “despite the hype” the inauguration of Pedro Sánchez had gone ahead and that Io would once again lead a ministry in the new coalition government. Moreover, the party is happy with the “stability” it enjoys at the political, institutional, social and financial levels, and is grateful for the work of the outgoing federal coordinator, Alberto Garzón, who they acknowledge has overcome “the worst omens that have come to us from all fronts.” Once again they recognize themselves as a party with “ambitious” goals that “will be a first-class champion within the coalition government.”
The party also recognizes Garzón’s work and positions him as a creator of great achievements for the IU, which, as they admit, “seemed doomed to disappear.” That is, they say in the draft political report, “thanks to the leadership” of their coordinator, even though they recognize that they must continue to face the challenge of “adapting” to new forms of “political intervention and strengthening the organization,” referring to IU’s new relationship—and role—within Somar.
