The coordinator of Podem in the Valencian Community, Pilar Lima, has announced her resignation this Monday together with that of her coordination council after the “bad results without palliatives” of the past 28-M. Some elections that left the purple ones out of Les Corts and with just 29 councilors in the entire Valencian Community shared with Esquerra Unida, the other leg of the Unides Podem collation.
Lima believes that “the demobilization caused by the conflict” (it is understood that the war with Sumar) has been decisive in the results and admits that a cycle is closing. Along these lines, he calls for a “serene and rigorous reflection on the causes” of the electoral result. An analysis that understands that it should be undertaken in a citizen assembly.
In a letter published online, Lima stresses that it was essential that on 23-J there be a single list to the left of the PSPV, but he “deeply” regrets that Podem does not have representation in that Valencian candidacy. The starting positions have been divided between Compromís, Sumar and EU.
Although the letter does acknowledge its own mistakes in the poor result at the polls, it does defend that an organized party has been achieved in these three years. Now, Lima explains, “a technical team” is being created, which will be responsible for organizing an assembly to “reformulate the project.”
