Andalusia reaffirms it: a front of the extreme left is needed
19J, Does it reflect one more result or a trend?? The victory of the PP, the fall of the PSOE and reformism make urgent the need to set up a new political alternative of the radical left and consequently anti-system.
By obtaining the absolute majority with the 43% of votes, The PP achieved a historic victory and will not depend on Vox (13,46%) to rule. The list headed by Juanma Moreno Bonilla received support from disappointed socialist voters, prevented the flight of votes to the extreme right and swallowed Ciudadanos (3.29%) who lost his parliamentary representation.
Hard setback for the PSOE and its government
After the elections Pedro Sánchez said “The government is strong, there is a legislature until the end”. Actually, there is a weak government whose future is in question. With the 24.09% of votes, the PSOE suffered the worst result in its history, with the “progressive coalition” government involved in the campaign. The result is not due to “demobilization of the electorate”, but to the destruction of health, to the deterioration of employment, to the sky-high prices that leave wages and pensions through the floor and other unresolved social deficiencies.
perspective with clues, without consolidated certainties
In 2023 there will be some regional and municipal elections in May. The generals would be in November, if Sánchez manages to exhaust the legislature. There is still time ahead in a country in crisis, where everything can change abruptly. It will also be necessary to see how the PP resolves the relationship between the new leadership of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and the ambitions of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Diaz Ayuso. Having said that, It is evident that the electoral appointments of Castile and Leon (simple majority), Madrid and Andalusia (absolute majority) they are relocating the popular in the direct line of dispute for return to Moncloa.
Movements in the most reactionary space
From the photo of Colón between the PP, Citizens and Vox, the right and the extreme right realigned, agreeing and disputing with disparate results. El PP, in crisis with Pablo Casado and always crossed by corruption, shows signs of electoral recovery. citizens, continue in free fall. Vox went from 12 a 14 seats, but it is below what they expected with which a question was opened: Has the extreme right reached its ceiling? We will see. Whatever, we must fight and defeat the right and the extreme right in all areas.
Pale attempt at reformist regrouping
Through Andalusia (United Left, We can, more Country, Horse, Green Alliance and Andalusian People's Initiative) got the 7,68% of the votes cast, which implies five deputies and a setback in relation to previous presentations without the break. The attempt to regroup the reformism in which Podemos participates, leads to new frustrations. mobilizations and general strike so that the crisis is paid by those who generated it, United We Can and its reformist partners have caused enormous disappointment in broad social sectors. It's a responsibility they can't shirk. Y, Since there is no strong alternative, anti-capitalist leftist and consistent, the majority of Andalusian voters, Regrettably, fell again in the swing of the pendulum that goes from one variant of bipartisanship to another.
Two seats for Adelante Andalucía
Adelante Andalucía was presented for the first time, after the rupture of Anticapitalista with Podemos, led by Teresa Rodríguez. With a 4,58% of the votes managed to obtain two seats which implies a first step forward for the new formation. They will have to resolve the contradictions that cross the “Andalusian leftist” institutional electoral project, stripped of class independence and socialist strategy.
far left, with a radically anti-capitalist program
mobilizations and general strike so that the crisis is paid by those who generated it, We can, Izquierda Unida and other groupings of the reformist space demonstrate at every moment their insurmountable limitations of adaptation to the the state as "left leg". Patches and halftones only allow right sectors to advance. The same as aligning in the autonomies behind the interests of the local bourgeois. We must turn our backs on the reformers and build something new. An organized expression of extreme left and class independence. Equipped with a program of transitional claims, with measures so that the crisis is paid by the capitalists. That drives the mobilizations, the coordination of the struggles and the general strike as fundamental tools, something that the majority union leaderships like the UGT and CC refuse to do. AND. To remain unyielding in the confrontation with the bourgeois governments, the monarchical-parliamentary regime of '78 and the capitalist exploitation system. That it has as its unwavering strategy the struggle for a government of the workers and the people and a socialist system.
An increasingly urgent and necessary call
The next elections appear in the calendar. The class struggle will impose its own agenda. To take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, it is necessary to build something radically different from what exists today. It would be a great step forward if the CUP and Anticapitalista, who are critical of the system, positively overcome the contradictions and tensions that cross them and make a call to converge in a radical left front. Broad sectors of labor activists, social fighters, democratic, human rights, feminists, environmentalists, of young workers and students could take it as a hopeful alternative. The organizations that claim to be revolutionary socialists, like SOL, AT THE, CRT, CR and IR cannot ignore the urgent need to come together and play a leading role.
