Marta Lois will be the Sumar candidate in the upcoming Galician elections. Lois is a political scientist born in Vigo, professor in Santiago University (she was a Santiago councilor as well) and MP for A Coruña since the last general elections. She's very close to Deputy PM Yolanda Díaz, who appointed her spokeswoman in Congress despite lacking experience in national politics. Marta Lois has a difficult task as a regional candidate, for Sumar is a political movement without membership nor organizational structure. Additionally Podemos is likely to run in its own and the Galician nationalist party Anova rejected an alliance (Yolanda Díaz and Xosé Manuel Beiras parted ways years ago). Winning a seat or two in A Coruña or Pontevedra would be a huge success for Sumar
Sumar announced later today that IU and Podemos agreed to a joint list (surprisingly).
