This was confirmed last night by Lois before the first meeting of the promoter of Sumar Galicia after the electoral setback last Sunday in which the candidacy led by Sumar’s former spokesperson in Congress was left out of the Galician Parliament after obtaining less than 2% of the vote. the votes cast.
Accompanied by the spokesperson for Yolanda Díaz’s party in Galicia, Paulo Carlos López, Lois has indicated that the decision to return to her professional activity as a professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences of Santiago does not imply her separation from the project for which she was spokesperson and deputy in the Cortes, positions from which she resigned despite her initial refusal to be head of the list on February 18.

Lois in statements collected by EFE, after which she stressed the need to “look to the future.”
Questioned about what role she will play at an organic level from now on, Lois has avoided specifying whether she intends to assume a leading role or whether she is committed to exercising a second line function. “I will continue to be in the collective project of Sumar Galicia rowing collectively and, from there, we will see, after these dates, what my role will be and what my role will be in the future,” she added.

The spokesperson, Paulo Carlos López, has stated along the same lines, indicating that it is time “to build and establish ourselves territorially to have a future” as an organization after some “bad, unmitigated” results at the polls.
“We have to learn from the mistakes we made as an organization,” said López, for whom “the context” of these elections “was not easy.” However, he believes that they will be able to draw lessons for the next challenges of Sumar Galicia, which he places, in addition to the “territorial” development of the organization, in the First State Assembly in mid-March and in the European elections of June.
