Podemos-Cieza Communiqué: Assessment of the electoral result and the government pre-agreement between Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias.
In the first place, Podemos-Cieza thanks the almost 2000 voters of Unidos Podemos in Cieza for their confidence, which has allowed us to consolidate the presence of this political option in the municipality.
The result is very similar to that obtained in the general elections of April, something that is also found at the regional level and that shows that the split, terrible and painful, on the part of the party apparatus in Murcia has been irrelevant in the end and it has resulted in a resounding failure of the More Country political project in this territory.
United We could concur in very difficult conditions to elections that were largely called with the undeclared intention to erase it from the political map.
To this was added the split, on the eve of its celebration, of a sector of Podemos.
In spite of everything, the result has been worthy and the coalition retains sufficient representation and strength to remain essential in any progressive government solution.
In Murcia, the assessment is similar: fewer votes have been lost in percentage than in the rest of the national territory and the deputy for the province has been preserved.
We transmit from Cieza a congratulation with all my heart, also, to Javier Sánchez Serna and his team, who have literally left their skin in the campaign and have achieved fruit.
In terms of general analysis, the results demonstrate the mistake that Pedro Sánchez's decision to repeat the elections meant, listening to the siren songs of his advisors and some media that projected them to 150 seats.
They embarked on Spanish society in an uncertain adventure that contained great risks and the trip has served little: the situation is not better in the face of the formation of a government, it is even more difficult, and the coincidence of the electoral period with the Catalan crisis , perfectly predictable, has caused the revival of some Spanish ultranationalism and the radicalization of the right-wing vote.
The decrease in the progressive vote, understood as such by the PSOE and the United Podemos, is related to the greater abstention and, above all, to the entry into play of More Country, a project that has only finally served to harm the expectations of a government agreement on the left, by subtracting strength without adding hardly anything.
The largest transfers of votes have occurred in the right-wing block, as a result of the electoral collapse of Citizens, and the great beneficiary has been Vox, a party that is undoubtedly located in the political space of the extreme right.
It is something that worries us because it can be the germ of a greater radicalization of the political scene, something that will depend above all on how the conflict in Catalonia evolves from now on.
However, the pre-agreement reached in the last hours between Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias is extraordinary news for the Spanish popular classes.
As such, we greet you with great satisfaction from the ranks of Podemos-Cieza and wish you to obtain the necessary support and come to a happy conclusion.
The 15M ship has finally reached the port, and it has been shown that it can be done, that it is possible to reach government responsibilities from the squares and streets without going through the usual political and economic elites.
That there is hope in our society for humble people thanks to democracy.
These elections should never have been held and an agreement like this must have been signed many months ago.
However, it is time to smear and recount, to keep the reproaches in the depths of the closet and to put all our energy in the new political stage that we have to address.
It will not be easy, because the establishment's opposition to policies that seek to redistribute wealth will be brutal, but from Cieza, with humility and to the extent of our possibilities, we will lend our full support to a government that works for a more ecological, more feminist homeland and with greater social justice.
