Communist brings together multiple groups under Sumar banner and aims to become country’s first female PM
A new political party has launched in, composed of more than a dozen left-leaning groups and led by a lifelong communist who aims to become the country’s first female prime minister.
Díaz told a rapturous crowd of 5,000 who turned out in Madrid on Sunday for the launch: “I want to be Spain’s first female president because women’s time has come, and women want to be the ones who make history.” In Spain, the prime minister is officially called the “president of the government”. Pablo Iglesias, a founding member and former leader of Podemos, who has opposed joining Díaz, said it would be “an electoral and political tragedy” if Sumar went ahead without Podemos’s support.
