La hipocresía de Podemos y los malabares de Rufián

Lo mejor que queda tras el desastre es la posibilidad de visibilizar electoralmente y en campaña un tándem estimulante o una alianza de perfiles que pueden despertar alguna expectativa

La hipocresía de Podemos y los malabares de Rufián

The Centre d'Estudis d'Opinió de la Generalitat (CEO) report reveals the intricate political alliance between Gabriel Rufián's Comuns and Podemos, amid growing electoral struggles among left-leaning factions. As the general elections loom, the CEO highlights that 43% of voters who previously backed Comuns now lean towards ERC (24%) or Podemos (19%).

This shift leaves Ada Colau's Comuns with only 36% of its historic support, a 11-point decline from July's survey. The report predicts ERC will secure between 10-11 seats in the Catalan parliament, where they held just 7 in 2023. Meanwhile, Sumar, the coalition in which Comuns ran for the last elections, is set to lose 2-3 representatives (down from 7 in 2023).

The CEO survey, carried out prior to the announcement of early elections and subsequent party deals, fails to capture the effects of housing decrees or the challenges of reaching consensus within Frente Amplio, offering insights into Republicans' reluctance to join a broader left-wing ticket.
