Nueva Canarias and Podemos would share a single UPC seat in Congress
A reported agreement would see the parties take turns if their Canary Islands coalition wins just one seat in Spain’s Congress.
Nueva Canarias and Podemos would take turns holding a seat in Spain’s Congress if their coalition, Unidad del Pueblo Canario (UPC), wins only one at the 29 November election, under a reported agreement between the parties.
The two parties are standing together in UPC alongside other organisations, as part of a Canary Islands-wide campaign that includes Fuerteventura.
The length of each party’s proposed turn has not been explained. It is also unclear whether other parties in the broader alliance, including Movimiento Sumar and Izquierda Unida Canaria, would have any time in the seat.
The arrangement would depend on UPC winning representation. The latest CIS poll gives the coalition a range of zero to two deputies.
