Izquierda Unida and Podemos are rushing negotiations to register a joint coalition before the Friday 23:59 deadline. Thursday's key meeting in Seville yielded no public details after over nine hours. The deal aims to unite forces to the left of the PSOE for the May 17 elections.
The Por Andalucía coalition, comprising Izquierda Unida, Movimiento Sumar and Podemos, launched its election campaign in Seville on April 30 for the Andalusian elections on May 17. Candidate Antonio Maíllo expressed confidence in becoming president and aims to surprise voters. He pledges to reverse PP policies and protect public services.
