The PSOE opens up to a 'popular front' of all the left in the Senate and the new Sumar pushes towards the agreement

The PSOE and the Frente Amplio are studying the possibility of running on a joint list for the Senate in the next general elections on November 29. This is confirmed by official sources from both spaces, who have been scheduled for a meeting to address it. Sumar's heirs are the ones who are pushing the most for this possibility to occur and a joint candidacy with mixed lists to be presented. The deadline for an agreement is Friday the 16th.

The socialists go even one step further: "The PSOE analyzes all the alternatives and scenarios to win both in Congress and in the Senate."

"We have all seen the spurious use that the PP has made of the Senate in this legislature," Ferraz's sources convey as an argument in favor of sealing some type of agreement with the space to his left. If the socialists and the Frente Amplio parties - for now, Movimiento Sumar, Más Madrid, Comunes and IU - participated in the Senate elections under a single list, this could contribute to grouping the vote into a single ballot in certain constituencies, to the detriment of the representation that the right could obtain, where it is assumed that there will be two lists: that of the PP and that of Vox.

For their part, sources from the formations that make up Frente Amplio also confirm that they are not only studying the possibility of participating in the Senate elections under a single ballot from the left, but also pushing for this to happen. In the space beyond the PSOE, this option is a music that they like and that they have been willing to explore for a few days, although they were waiting to know what the socialists thought about it. Now, as Ferraz opens the door to this possibility, representatives of both spaces plan to hold a meeting to address it.

Although socialist sources now speak of "analyzing all the alternatives and scenarios to win both in Congress and in the Senate", Frente Amplio's willingness to agree with the PSOE is reduced to the scope of the Senate. In the closed-door meeting of the PSOE Executive on Monday, as confirmed by sources present at the meeting, the possibility of asking Frente Amplio not to appear in the constituencies in which it never obtains representation or of negotiating a unitary list for Congress was not addressed. However, in the party's own electoral strategy the focus is being placed on appealing to the useful vote in the medium and small provinces in which its partners do not get seats to try to benefit from the 'remnants' at the expense of PP and Vox.
