Mallorca election pact: Ara MÉS joins Sumar for November

On Mallorca in Spain’s Balearic Islands, MÉS per Mallorca is part of a new pact for the 29 November general election: Ara MÉS has agreed to stand with Sumar and Izquierda Unida. The deal won 89% of votes at Ara MÉS’s assembly on Thursday. Ara MÉS also includes Ara Eivissa and MÉS per Menorca; the joint ticket will run as “Ara MÉS-Front Ampli”.

Whether Podemos will join remains open. Frente Amplio has again invited the party to take part in joint candidacies. In Aragón, five parties have agreed to stand together, but Podemos is not among them so far.

The picture is different in Valencia, where the leadership of Esquerra Unida rejected a proposal from Compromís by more than 75% of votes. Frente Amplio says it wants talks there to continue.
