The IU leadership is deeply concerned about the advance of Pablo Iglesias' 'Vamos' movement. professor's proposals - such as the open primaries for the European elections - has asked Alberto Garzón to approach the political scientist to avoid an electoral debacle due to the division of the left-wing vote. On January 17, Pablo Iglesias presented, in an event held at the Lavapiés Theater, the ' We Can' platform , with which the political scientist did not rule out attending the European elections. During his intervention, Iglesias extended his hand to IU and proposed holding primaries on the left to involve citizens more. Cayo Lara 's reaction was immediate, and three days later he ruled out holding primaries, alluding to the fact that this process “benefited PP and PSOE.” This thesis was later defended by deputy Alberto Garzón and by other representatives of the party, such as Ramón Trujillo . Well, as El Confidencial Digital has learned , the progress of 'Vamos' in recent weeks, and the support garnered by Iglesias, have alerted the federal coordinator of IU , who is now willing to take the necessary steps to show that his party and the platform of the Complutense professor defend the same thing. Alberto Garzón has been commissioned to approach Iglesias IU sources consulted by this newspaper explain that Lara has delegated the responsibility of approaching Pablo Iglesias to Alberto Garzón.
A Public Collaborator like the political scientist, the deputy “ is the one who has the most options to reach an understanding ” with the promoter of 'We can'. In this way, Garzón has already carried out some interviews and public interventions in which he is betting Phone Number List that IU and 'Vamos' can ally themselves. Furthermore, he has stopped openly rejecting the holding of primaries to ensure that his party “needs to take democratic steps.” Alberto Garzón's new speech seems to be already giving results, as was demonstrated last Wednesday in an event in Lavapiés in which the IU deputy shared a conversation with Pablo Iglesias . Both agreed to defend a “real democracy” with more citizen participation, as demanded by the promoter of ' Podemos' in Izquierda Unida. Llamazares, Anguita, Ada Colau… support Iglesias The new strategy of Izquierda Unida with respect to Pablo Iglesias has a lot to do with the great reception that ' Podemos' has had not only among left-wing voters, but also in some internal sectors of the party led by Cayo Lara . Thus, according to the sources consulted, one of the first to congratulate the political scientist for his initiative was the former IU coordinator, Julio Anguita .

He has been joined by important representatives of Izquierda Abierta , the faction led by Gaspar Llamazares, such as Almudena Grandes and Mar Cambrollé. Furthermore, Pablo Iglesias has maintained contact with important representatives of citizen movements such as 15-M, and with members (lawyers, psychologists...) of the Platform for People Affected by Mortgage, directed by Ada Colau . To this support we must add that of Judge Elpidio Silvia , who has also been interested in his project. Finally, some of the intellectuals who support Convocatoria Cívica , the platform created by Baltasar Garzón and Mayor Zaragoza , have also approached Pablo Iglesias to show their support and collaborate on his project.Furthermore, they assure that the vice president of the Government “conscientiously prepared” what she was going to say to Duran. The vice president herself spoke on Sunday and Monday - already by telephone - with the leader of the PP in Catalonia, Alicia Sánchez-Camacho , to learn more about the current situation in the region. Sáenz de Santamaría, however, did not inform the 'popular' leader that he would hold a meeting the next day in Moncloa with the CiU spokesperson in Congress.
