  • The grassroots of Podemos Galicia have rejected forming a coalition with Sumar in the upcoming Galician regional elections.
  • The vote resulted in 1,567 votes against and 911 in favor, constituting a blow for Yolanda Díaz and Pedro Sánchez.
  • The rejection of Sumar raises concerns about how this will affect the current coalition government and electoral outcomes in Galicia.
  • The secession of Podemos from Sumar at the leadership level and now at grassroots level weakens Pedro Sánchez's government.
  • The division of the populist left vote could prevent both formations from gaining representation, but it could also boost BNG if voters decide to vote en bloc.

Conclusion: This decision by Podemos Galicia represents a significant split in the left wing of Spanish politics which could impact future electoral outcomes and the stability of the current government.
