The general coordinator of Movimiento Sumar, Lara Hernández, has celebrated the meeting between the spokesperson for ERC, Gabriel Rufián, and the MEP for Podemos, Irene Montero, which she places as "one more step" within the strategy to articulate the unity of the alternative left.
In an interview on "Telecinco", reported by Europa Press, he/she has pointed out that the event was "constructive" and has highlighted that, from the dialogue between different political actors, there is "much future" to build a "winning project" capable of "standing up to the far-right".
In an international scenario in which, as he has described, the "world is going through dramatic and dissolving moments," Hernández has insisted that it is an "obligation of the left to sit down to talk, understand each other and from the plural walk towards the singular." Within that framework, he places this Thursday's meeting in Barcelona, which links with the February meeting between the Sumar formations present in the Government and with the previous act between Rufián and the Más Madrid leader Emilio Delgado.
The head of Sumar has stressed that her organization defends convergence and that "for a sample a button" are the Andalusian elections, where a joint candidacy has been reached with Podemos, headed by the leader of IU, Antonio Maíllo.
Hernández has added that in the left there is no problem of lack of referents, since it is a "plural, broad and diverse" space in which numerous political profiles coexist.
In relation to the judicial processes regarding the Koldo and Kitchen case, the leader of Sumar has stated that these procedures show that corruption constitutes a "scourge" and a "cancer" for democracy.
After reiterating that for Sumar a potential illegal financing of the socialists would constitute a "red line", it has stressed that its political space is different from the PSOE and has defended that, throughout its trajectory, it does not carry any "stain" of corruption.
