19J: Critical vote for “Adelante Andalucía”
The Andalusian regional elections will be a new indicator of the trends towards the general elections.
The elections to the Andalusian Parliament will take place within the framework of the war in Ukraine, of the deterioration of the management of Pedro Sánchez, of the ongoing crisis with Algeria over energy and position against Western Sahara taken by the government. With a inflation at full throttle, with rising prices that gobble up salaries and pensions. With family budgets that do magic to try to make ends meet. With horrific job insecurity that it was not eliminated by the labor reform, falsely embellished by the “progressive coalition” government.
The importance of Andalusia
Andalusia It is the largest autonomous community, the most populous in the Spanish state and one of the five poorest. Unemployment exceeds 20%, wages are very low, temporary work is carried out in terrible conditions, the cuts sank public health and there are all sorts of unsatisfied basic needs. At the same time, the Andalusian people are characterized by mobilizing and leading important struggles, like that of Airbus and the metal strike in Cadiz, among so many others.
election forecasts
According to the forecasts of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), the current president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno Bonilla would obtain his re-election and the PP would be disputing the absolute majority. The PSOE would obtain fewer votes than in the elections of 2018. Vox, with Macarena Olona as a candidate, would be the third force. Then the coalition would be located "For Andalusia" (United Left, We can, more Country, Horse, Green Alliance and Andalusian People's Initiative), led by Inmaculada Nieto. behind appears "Forward Andalusia" (anticapitalist, Andalusian Left, Andalusian Spring and Defending Andalusia), led by Teresa Rodriguez. citizens, that repeats with Juan Marín, I would go downhill. They are relative forecasts., more when there is a 40% of the electorate who have not yet defined their vote.
A well-known stage was set up
By not presenting a political alternative of profound changes, leftist and socialist; on stage a false set was mounted again, already used on other occasions. “Elect a progressive government so that the right does not get stronger” pose the "progress", responsible for the disasters carried out from the central government. One of the followers of the "lesser evil" is "Por Andalucía", that tries to regroup reformism and co-govern with the PSOE as its appendix. El PP, Vox and CS say: "Vote for us so that the "communists" do not cut more freedoms", represent the most reactionary political sectors. Beyond your disputes, all remain under the tutelage of the corrupt monarchy, of the authoritarian regime of '78 and capitalist exploitation at the service of EU imperialism. Because, you have to turn your back.
Critical vote for “Adelante Andalucía”
The project headed by Teresa Rodríguez of Anticapitalistas oscillates between dissimilar positions. It does not embody a project of class independence, nor of rupture with the regime but of "democratic" institutional management within the framework of the capitalist system. It is within these margins that the mayor of the Cádiz City Council executes his administration, Jose Maria Gonzalez, "Kichi". further, "Adelante Andalucía" is presented only as a regional tool, when it is necessary to forcefully take the dispute to the national level as well.
At the same time, they have expressed that they do not seek a co-government with the PSOE (although I would give him support if necessary to avoid a right-wing government) and they are critical of the PP-Vox and PSOE-UP pairs. They have a program of economic claims, social and democratic in favor of the great majorities, with some mentions of capitalism and ecosocialist proposals. For all the contradictions mentioned, we have not joined the new Andalusian project. Nevertheless, "Adelante Andalucía" is not the same as the bourgeois forces that appear, that's why we call to give them a critical vote, as well as IZAR where it presents its own candidacies.
A Left Front is needed
In the autonomies and throughout the Spanish State it is necessary to build a Left Front, of class independence, that supports the workers and popular struggles with a transitional program for Capitalists should pay for the crisis and a background exit: for a workers' government in a socialist system. Overcoming the contradictions that cross them, a call to the Left Front made by the CUP, Anti-capitalists and other representations of the political and social left; it would be a big step forward. To face right, to the extreme right, the traditional bourgeois parties and the reformists. The organizations that claim to be revolutionary socialists, like SOL, AT THE, CRT, CR and IR can play an important role if we come together and prioritize the points that unite us over those that separate us, both to intervene in common in the class struggle and in the formation of a new political alternative, consistently anti-capitalist and leftist.
