The mayor is willing to give up her role as a candidate and change the name of Frente Amplio to reach an agreement less than 72 hours before the deadline expires.
AI-generated summary
Negotiations underway between the Frente Amplio and Podemos to configure a single left-wing candidacy before the registration of coalitions.
Ada Colau has crudely admitted that the main problem that Podemos is having in putting together a single candidacy and unity of the left for the elections is a dispute over names and positions on the lists. For this reason, she has shown herself willing to "give up" her role as a space candidate if there was a person who generates "more consensus" than her. What's more, he has even opened up to "changing even the name" of Frente Amplio if this allows reaching agreements with the purple party.
With less than 72 hours left until the legal deadline to reach an agreement, because the coalitions have to register on Friday night at the latest, there are talks between the Frente Amplio and Podemos but who leads a coalition remains an insurmountable obstacle at the moment. The four parties that promote the alliance are betting on Ada Colau as a reference and the purple formation demands that it be Irene Montero.

ERC has found in the alliance with Podemos, demanded by Gabriel Rufián to repeat as a candidate, a strategy to weaken the Ada Colau Commons, a formation that competes for the independence and leftist vote in Catalonia. The republican party hopes to capture part of the almost 500,000 votes that the Podemos-Comunes coalition obtained in 2023, although it must face the possible loss of supporters critical of its approach to a non-secessionist party. Furthermore, ERC is already looking to the municipal elections in May, where it aspires to win the Mayor of Barcelona with Elisenda Alamany, previously weakening the electoral muscle of the Commons. Spokesman Isaac Albert ruled out an agreement with the Commons, following Rufián's request for dialogue, which the Republicans consider unaffordable due to the tension that exists after the Commons' critical statement against Rufián for dividing the left.
