Por Andalucía has agreed this Saturday in Málaga to participate in a major coalition for the municipal elections, with open primaries and candidates chosen before December 20.
The parties that make up Por Andalucía held their Municipalist Days this Saturday at La Térmica, where they agreed to participate in a major coalition for the upcoming municipal elections. According to Diario Sur, the aim is to present candidates in all municipalities before December 20.
The meeting served to approve a Programme Manifesto with ten commitments and a participatory method based on "one person, one vote," with open and joint primaries to define the lists. The coalition has also established the common name of Por Andalucía in all municipalities, to which local brands will be added.
Toni Morillas from Izquierda Unida stated at the beginning of the day that this process aims to "recover the hope of working people, of the neighbours of our province." Morillas criticized the management of the Partido Popular and asserted that "the neighbours must regain the right to live with dignity in their towns and cities against that speculative dynamic."
"We have 135 councillors in our province, 15 local governments, which are the example of dignity and transformative municipalism"
Regarding the deadlines, the IU representative emphasized that the Por Andalucía space "will reach Christmas, the time to eat polvorones, with its candidates chosen" and set December 20 as the date to complete the process.
Nico Sguiglia from Podemos explained that the process seeks to articulate "the main political alternative to the poor governance of the Partido Popular, both in the city of Málaga and across the province." Sguiglia summarised the approach in three pillars: "home, neighbourhood, democracy," with housing as the central axis of municipal policy.
From the Partido Verde, Ángel Rodríguez focused on the environmental deficiencies of the province and advocated for a more eco-social Málaga under the slogan "Caring for the present to have a future." Sergio Cedena from Movimiento Sumar stressed that citizen participation and work in the neighbourhoods will be key to building that alternative.
Rafael Arredonda from Iniciativa del Pueblo Andaluz described the meeting as the beginning of a path to transform cities and municipalities in the 2027 elections, aiming to address "the housing problem, the problem of job insecurity for young people" and the effects of tourism.
The candidates of the coalition must be chosen before December 20, according to the schedule approved at the meetings.
