The hardest year for Sumar: from the resignation of Yolanda Díaz to the ‘Errejón case’

2024 will be crossed out on the calendars of the leaders who launched Sumar. The project that Yolanda Díaz launched during the last legislature to rebuild the unity of the left has suffered a series of setbacks in the last 12 months that have put its survival in doubt. From the results of the regional and European elections that caused the resignation of the Minister of Labor as the organization’s organic leader to the resignation of Íñigo Errejón, last October, due to a series of complaints of sexual harassment.

Between the joy that ran across the faces of the majority of the coalition leaders after the 2023 general elections and the video with which Yolanda Díaz announced her resignation as general coordinator of Sumar after the European elections, barely a year had passed. A dizzying journey that shows the difficulties faced by the space on the left of the PSOE despite maintaining five ministries in the Government and thirty deputies in Congress.
