Sumar Movement seeks to close its deepest crisis with a hermetic assembly
Movimiento Sumar, un partido político español, está celebrando un congreso extraordinario este sábado con el objetivo de superar una crisis interna grave. Este será el tercer congreso en apenas tres años, y la única lista para la dirección del partido está liderada por Verónica Martínez y Rosa Martínez, quienes sucederán a Lara Hernández, quien renunció tras ser investigada por acoso laboral. El congreso tendrá un formato cerrado, sin acceso a los medios de comunicación durante las sesiones, lo cual contrasta con las reuniones anteriores. Aunque los debates internos parecen resueltos, persisten dudas sobre el futuro del partido dentro de la coalición con otras fuerzas de izquierda, especialmente considerando la ausencia de Yolanda Díaz, fundadora del partido, quien ha estado ausente en algunas reuniones pasadas.

Movimiento Sumar, a political formation created three years ago by Spanish Vice President Yolanda Díaz to participate in the 2023 elections under the Sumar coalition, is seeking to move forward after internal conflicts that resulted in half of its leadership being replaced. The party aims to prepare for future elections by establishing a unified leadership structure. Parliamentary spokesperson Verónica Barbero and State Secretary for Social Rights Rosa Martínez have been appointed to coordinate the party’s efforts following a third assembly meeting.
