Sumar responds to Podemos that it will not hold a public debate on primaries and urges them to sit down at a negotiating table.

Sumar has responded to Podemos by refusing to hold a public debate in the media regarding open primaries for the new leftist project, Frente Amplio. Instead, Sumar has urged Podemos to sit down at a formal negotiation table.

The response was collectively issued by the parties making up the junior partner of the executive branch and driving the new project—specifically Sumar, Comuns, IU, and Más Madrid—highlighting a coordinated stance against conducting their strategic discussions through public channels.
