Left weighs candidates Feijóo urges discipline

Oct 8

RTVE’s election report says ERC still backs Gabriel Rufián but other contenders are positioning themselves; he wants to represent ERC under minimum conditions and alongside other left forces. Belarra welcomes working with him. Colau offers to lead a unified Frente Amplio including Podemos, whose condition is open primaries. Feijóo tells the PP to work, avoid premature celebration and keep cool despite alleged tricks; the reporter says he privately sought one message after Ayuso’s postal-vote doubts. Bolaños calls the PP’s positioning delirious and says PSOE will discuss housing. Candidacy filing is reported due on the 26th. Offers and allegations remain attributed, without a concluded coalition or voting irregularity finding.

Rufián publicly says he wants to represent ERC in the forthcoming election under minimum conditions and alongside other left forces. RTVE says ERC still favours him while other potential candidates position themselves, and Belarra welcomes working with him. No nomination or coalition agreement is established.
