Movimiento Sumar is considering delaying the party assembly, scheduled for December 14 and 15. After the departure of Íñigo Errejón from the party, who was in charge of preparing the political document for that congress, several people in the leadership consider that the deadlines should be reconsidered, although the final decision will have to be made by the Coordinating Group in an upcoming meeting. as Txema Guijarro explained this Tuesday, who is part of the collegiate leadership that has led the party since the resignation of Yolanda Díaz.
“We are awaiting a meeting of the Coordinating Group. This will have to be the instance where we decide what we are going to do, but after having lost the head of the political document, the times we had planned will have to be reconsidered, although I would not want to anticipate any decision,” he reflected. Guijarro at a press conference in the Congress of Deputies, in which he served as temporary spokesperson for the parliamentary group until the election of a new person to fill that position.
Guijarro has insisted that a decision like this must be approved by the Coordinating Group, the party’s highest decision-making body between congresses, although he wanted to give his personal opinion on the matter. “We will have to listen to the Coordinar Group. What a humble secretary general thinks [del grupo parlamentario] “It is that given the circumstances it is likely that we will have to reconsider it,” he said at a press conference. Guijarro was elected in June as a member of the collegiate leadership that governs temporarily until the next assembly, which also includes the Secretary of Organization, Lara Hernández; the Secretary of Communication, Elizabeth Duval; and the Secretary of State for Social Rights, Rosa Martínez.
The reason that may lead to postponing the assembly is the important role that Íñigo Errejón, in charge of the political presentation that will be voted on at that congress, planned to play in it. With Errejón out of the organization, that task will have to be assumed by another person who would barely have two months to carry it out. The former leader, in addition, had already written the political presentation of the founding assembly in March, in Villaverde, and sought in this new congress to land some concepts to bring them to the most everyday political news.
At this congress, Movimiento Sumar is also expected to update its organic document to adapt it to the new reality of training after the European elections. At the founding assembly in March, a hybrid operating scheme emerged in which Yolanda Díaz’s project was a hybrid structure that incorporated its own militancy and at the same time the parties. Its leadership reserved 30% for leaders of the political formations that currently make up the coalition.
That thesis, however, was buried behind the internal problems resulting from the negotiations for the European lists. After June 9, Yolanda Díaz resigned from organic leadership and the thesis was imposed that Movimiento Sumar should be another party within the coalition of parties. The December Congress seeks to ground this in a new document for the new stage of the left.
