In the latest move amid Sumar's leadership transition following Yolanda Díaz's withdrawal, the party's executive will propose to its Grupo Coordinador an assembly after the Andalusian elections to renew organs and redefine its identity. The conclave is slated before the end of the political term.
Movimiento Sumar's executive will present this Saturday to the Grupo Coordinador—its top decision-making body—a proposal for a third conclave in coming months, after the Andalusian elections (expected May-June) but before the political term ends. The assembly will set a roadmap for precampaign efforts starting September for regional and municipal elections, while advancing the coalition process with IU, Comunes, and Más Madrid, launched February 21.
This follows Díaz's February 25 announcement not to run in 2027, prompting organizational reformulation. As previously covered, parties' bid for Pablo Bustinduy to lead faltered due to his personal reticences, and Antonio Maíllo has urged speeding up successor selection.
Sumar faces headwinds: exclusion from Castilla y León's Cortes five days ago, one deputy in Aragón, dismal Andalucía polls where Maíllo heads a left coalition excluding Podemos and Adelante Andalucía. Criticism targets leader Lara Hernández, whose general coordinator role lacks parity post-Carlos Martín's August resignation.
Recently, Sumar backed housing crisis measures in an extraordinary Council of Ministers—including rental extensions and 2% cap—facing congressional hurdles.
