Andalusia: between right-wing continuity and the limits of the “lesser evil”
The polls for Sunday's regional elections 17 of May favor the right and show the crisis of the progressive variants. It is necessary to establish a regional and state variant of the radical left.
The Andalusian elections take place in a scenario marked by the strengthening of the most reactionary variants, the erosion of the forces of the “lesser evil” and the persistent weakness of a radical left alternative with mass weight. While the PP seeks to consolidate its institutional dominance and Vox pressures to expand its influence, Reformist expressions continue to show strategic limits that prevent them from offering a fundamental solution for workers and popular sectors..
The most reactionary appear better positioned
Polls prior to the elections indicate that the most likely thing is the continuity of the right-wing administration of the PP. Juanma Moreno presents himself with a profile of institutional stability and moderate management, appealing to “no trouble”. Seek an absolute majority to not depend on Vox to form a government.
Vox maintains its capacity for pressure and electoral growth, especially around reactionary discourses on security, immigration and Spanish nationalism, as fervent defenders of the parliamentary monarchical regime. Their objective is for the PP to depend on them to form a government.
At the state and Autonomous Communities level, The PP and Vox dispute the reactionary political and social space while making alliances where it suits them. Confronting and defeating the right and the extreme right in the streets and in the elections is an essential task.
The “lesser evil” has already failed
The PSOE is on the verge of another historic setback due to its disasters when it governed Andalusia, that once knew how to be its great bastion; for the Health management of its candidate Irene Montero and for representing the disastrous state government of Pedro Sánchez that, Beyond its always partial “progressive” poses – for example with Palestine – it represents a government of businessmen and support of the regime of the 78. The undisguised consent of Por Andalucía as a “critical friend” cannot reverse the setback of the PSOE.
mobilizations and general strike so that the crisis is paid by those who generated it, pillar of the regime, along with Sumar, IU, Podemos and other partners, They are expressions of the deceitful politics of the “lesser evil” to confront the most conservative., with which they are not only failing but also fertilizing their ground.
Reformist proposals have insurmountable limitations
Adelante Andalucía runs different from the PP, Vox and PSOE, mentions the need to defend the public and popular demands felt by immigrants, women and dissidents, appealing to different popular sectors. Nevertheless, stays halfway in everything: in proposing the control of health workers, education and other areas; in promoting sanction and expropriation measures against large businessmen and landowners who plunge Andalusia into poverty and inequality; and in raising a consistent policy against the regime and the system. Thus, ends up being a critical variant but not a radical rupture.
It does not overcome limited autonomous sovereignty by putting class independence at the center, the workers' government and socialism as a strategy. The indispensable proposals for Andalusia—or any other community—collide with the structural and institutional roots of the entire Spanish State.
Any vote for Adelante Andalucía can only be very critical, knowing the need to change the strategic course.
It is necessary to establish a political alternative of the radical left
further, IZAR colleagues present themselves with worker candidacies, fighters and a radical left program that we call to vote wherever their lists are, in Almeria, Granada and Huelva.
On the path to advancing the regrouping of revolutionaries for struggles and elections, which is a great need to begin to reverse the dispersion and weakness of the radical left in the Spanish State.
