A councilor and several Cs militants in Barcelona unsubscribe and ask to withdraw the candidacy so as not to divide the vote

Flight of Ciudadanos militants in Barcelona just as the electoral campaign begins. One of its current councilors, Noemí Martín, and several affiliates have withdrawn from the party and also ask in a letter that the candidacy led by Anna Grau withdraw so as not to divide the constitutionalist vote. According to the group that signs the letter, there are “dozens” of militants and also three district councilors.

From the party, however, they deny that it is a significant departure of militants. They assure that some of them were “files” or had already left the party before. “The candidacy and the team remain strong and intact,” they add.

The truth is that Ciudadanos, plunged into a serious crisis throughout Spain, has it very difficult to maintain its presence in the consistory. The polls do not give it representation and it also competes with other parties to the right of the political spectrum such as the Popular Party, Valents and Vox.

In their statement, advanced by ACN and which elDiario.es has been able to confirm, the outgoing militants assure that “Ciudadanos no longer represents constitutionalism or the liberal values ​​that characterized it.” “The current leaders are to blame for the party’s defeat,” reads the text. The document also asks to “stop confusing the voter and not divide the constitutionalist vote.”

In a state key, this group of affiliates also criticizes the current leadership of Ciutadans, which in their opinion has led the party “to irrelevance” due to the ideological change promoted by Inés Arrimadas. “The numerous agreements with the government of Sánchez and Podemos, supporting numerous proposals and ideological laws as aberrant as that of ‘only yes is yes’ that has benefited hundreds of sexual harassers demonstrate the total understanding between the current Cs and the sanchismo”, they lament.

“He sanchismo It is incompatible with the founding principles of Cs, since it is the main partner of those who want to break our constitutional framework and our country. They are those who have led Barcelona and Catalonia to ruin, to social confrontation, decadence, tension, chaos, corporate flight and insecurity”, they conclude.
