Adelante Andalucía has advanced that it will appear in the next general elections and does not contemplate joining Sumar. “No one questions that ERC, the CUP or BNG present themselves together with Sumar”, has sentenced the regional deputy and spokesperson, Teresa Rodríguez, who has added that they are an “autonomous” force of “Andalusian obedience” that aspires to give “own voice ” to Andalusia.
This has been indicated to the media together with former senator Pilar González, after presenting in Madrid a series of amendments that Compromís, BNG and the CUP will defend to increase the investment in the General Budgets for Andalusia by 800 million.
The two have explained that this proposal is the “prelude” for Andalusia to present itself to the next elections, have a presence in the General Courts and, if possible, become the “key” for a future progressive central government.
