United We Can’t Recompose the Territorial Strength It Agglutinated in its First Four Years of Life. This is due to the alliances that were woven with confluences, tides. The purple formation, which was founded in 2019, has lost all its power except Catalonia, where it reaffirmed the eight seats it won in 2017. All of them under the En Comu Podem name.
The Madrid elections were no exception to the rule for Iglesias. They have improved their results from 2018 (from 5.6% to 7.21%) but they are far from formations like the PP and the PSOE. And they fail to surprise Mas Madrid who rejected unitary confluence. “Of all the socialists, popular we would like it to resemble its territorial organization,” said the general secretary of purples, who was also a candidate last year. He had made a decision to change his course to United We Can’s traditional organization in the III Citizen Assembly.
This has not been able to reverse the loss of regional power. Not even with an unexpectedly headed candidacy by Iglesias. The purples, who were also elected in the wake of the pandemic, were expelled from the Galician parliament and replaced by six Basque Chamber deputies.
They have lost all their representatives in Castilla-La Mancha and Cantabria’s parliaments since 2018. They suffered “unmitigated losses” in the Balearic Islands where they lost ten deputies in 2015. In Castilla y Leon, they had ten. In Castilla y Leon, the number was ten. In the Valencian Community, the numbers were ten to two. Nor Madrid, the cradle for the party in January 2014.
