Rufián and Podemos alliance puts Comuns in a difficult situation in Catalonia
The Catalan CIS points out that 43% of the former voters of the comunes lean towards ERC or Podemos, while the formation only retains 36% of its 2023 supporters.
A recent survey by the Centre d'Estudis d'Opinió de la Generalitat (CEO) suggests that 43% of voters who supported Comuns in the 2023 general elections are now inclined to vote for ERC or Podemos. The survey indicates that ERC could gain 10-11 seats in Catalonia, up from 7 in 2023, while Sumar, the coalition that included Comuns, could lose seats, potentially getting only 2-3 representatives.
The survey, conducted before the announcement of the election and subsequent party agreements, also found that Comuns has retained only 36% of its previous supporters. The results may help explain ERC's reluctance to join a broader left-wing coalition.
