Toni Valero, a key electoral figure for IU and its Andalusian leader, will be number 3 on the Broad Front list in Madrid.

Toni Valero, coordinator of Izquierda Unida (IU) in Andalusia and the coalition's electoral reference, will run as the number three candidate on the Frente Amplio list for Madrid in the upcoming general elections scheduled for November 29 (29N). The decision was confirmed by the formation as parties prepare for the opening of the electoral list registration period, which runs from Wednesday until midnight on Monday.

The inclusion of the Andalusian leader in the Madrid constituency has drawn internal friction. Former Vice President Pablo Iglesias publicly criticized the move on Tuesday, asserting that IU's decision to shift Valero to Madrid demonstrates that the party lacks confidence in securing any parliamentary seats in Andalusia.
