The electoral cycle strains coexistence between the PSOE and Sumar

For some time now, relations between the PSOE and Sumar have not been as close as the staging of the Government pact at the Reina Sofía between Pedro Sánchez and Yolanda Díaz promised. With the legislature at a standstill and legislative production at a minimum, the coalition partners have been entangled in disputes for weeks that are fueled by a calendar full of momentous electoral events.

With this marathon of elections in the background, the continuous internal tensions between leftist formations such as Compromís, the Comuns, Izquierda Unida or Más Madrid due to the organic configuration of Sumar, and even due to the negotiation of the lists for the European event, have provided the breeding ground for nerves to emerge. And that is why Yolanda Díaz's people are making an effort to establish her own profile and distance themselves from her government partner before three elections that, among many other things, will determine the state of health of the second vice president's political project.
