Podemos leader Irene Montero stated that an open primary election is the only acceptable condition for an electoral agreement with the Frente Amplio coalition ahead of the upcoming general elections. Speaking on October 8, the party's number two and former Minister of Equality maintained a firm stance that any candidate for the general elections must be chosen through open primaries involving the broader left.
