On February 21st in Madrid, approximately 600 individuals gathered at the Círculo de Bellas Artes for the inauguration of a new initiative aimed at unifying Spain's radical left. This move comes as polls indicate a surge in right-wing support, particularly from the far-right, and as Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) shows signs of fatigue. Four political groups—Sumar, Izquierda Unida, Más Madrid, and the Catalan Comuns—have formed an alliance to consolidate their forces and appeal to other progressive factions. Their stated goal is to counter the far-right and prevent a return to a "sterile bipartisanship" in Spain, a country where the electoral system disadvantages smaller parties. While a specific program is yet to be defined, the alliance emphasizes the need for unity to "maximize seats" through meticulous planning, as articulated by Ernest Urtasun, Spain's Minister of Culture and spokesperson for Sumar.
