Sumar irritates members by calling local assemblies to deploy

The electoral hangover from the Galician elections in Sumar is bothering him. On Monday, despite the fact that the meeting held in the early hours by the leadership was "moved", both the matrix - led by Yolanda Díaz - and all the forces that came together for the general elections - among which the commons stand out , Compromís and More Madrid – agreed to point out that the "lack of time" to implement the project in Galicia was, together with the "polarization of the useful vote towards the BNG", the reason that prevented them from getting a single deputy .

And as an antidote, both agreed on the need to work for the "organizational strength" and for the "territorial roots" of a brand that still has "a great future".

But here the consensus ended. Especially when Sumar decided to announce on Tuesday a series of reaffirmation events for today and tomorrow in Valencia and Alicante.

Despite justifying them due to the need to move forward in the organizational structuring process for the founding assembly that Sumar will hold on March 23, Compromís expressed his discomfort because he understood that Yolanda Díaz's team wanted to "create his brand and not legitimize" the one that already exists.

"It is true that since we have not joined Sumar they can defend the same in Valencia. Even so, we don't understand what they aspire to achieve when it has become clear after the Galician elections the importance of territorial implementation", underlined Compromís sources.

But far from waiting for the promise "not to compete electorally" to close the wound, Sumar announced on Thursday more events of the same nature for next week. And this time in Madrid, which has irritated the party led by the Minister of Health, Mónica García.

Sources from More Madrid admit to La Vanguardia their unease at the fact that Sumar is trying to "do an organic development through the back door". And they wonder why, in the absence of organization in other territories such as Castile, where organizational construction can be set in motion, "they have decided to start doing it where there is already a force with an enormous establishment".

In this sense, Més Madrid defends the need to move forward hand in hand. Differentiating the state and regional arenas and conveying those of García the participation in the Community of Madrid. And not unilaterally as Sumar has decided to do. Even less at this moment. With the negative result of Galicia still recent.

Seeing all this, Més per Mallorca has already put itself on alert. And since they are used to failed landings of national brands, as once happened with Podemos, they recommend a calm debate within Sumar "to define in this construction phase what they want to be when they grow up".
