Three Sumar ministers to back Maíllo at precampaign event in Seville

Ministers Mónica García, Pablo Bustinduy and Ernest Urtasun will support Por Andalucía candidate Antonio Maíllo at an event on April 19 in Seville. The gathering is the second edition of 'Un paso al frente', led by Movimiento Sumar, Comuns, IU and Más Madrid, ahead of the Andalusian elections on May 17.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, April 19, at 11:00 a.m. in the Itálica auditorium at Seville's Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos (Fibes). Inma Nieto, Por Andalucía's spokesperson in the previous legislature, will give the welcome, and Esperanza Gómez, coordinator of Movimiento Sumar Andalucía and lead candidate for Cádiz, will speak.

Izquierda Unida posted on X: “On Sunday, April 19, we take another step forward. With a clear goal: To oust Moreno Bonilla from the Junta de Andalucía. We continue building a broad alliance to keep conquering rights”.

Titled “Un paso al frente por Andalucía”, the gathering aims to bolster the common front of Andalusia's alternative left, excluding Adelante Andalucía. It follows the initial presentation in Madrid on February 21.

Sources from the involved parties confirm the attendance of the three Sumar ministers alongside Maíllo, IU's federal coordinator and candidate for President of the Junta.
