The Por Andalucía team has been repeating all week that the campaign led by Antonio Maíllo has gone “from less to more.” There is still a certain nervousness about the result the polls will show next Sunday, but the candidacy is confident that the scenario depicted by the surveys — a slight increase in representation in Parliament and above what Adelante Andalucía achieves — will approach reality. “We have to decide whether to continue the 2018 path, lowering taxes for the super-rich, privatizing everything privatizable, or handing it over to investment funds,” the leader warned this afternoon before about 500 supporters, according to the organization, before “calling to reflect on the usefulness of the vote.”

Maíllo closed his campaign this Friday with a rally in the working-class neighborhood of Tiro de Línea, in Seville, accompanied by former deputies Inma Nieto (IU) and Alejandra Durán (Podemos), the party’s provincial coordinator, Ana Aranda, and the regional head of Izquierda Unida, Toni Valero. “How long the PP’s absolute majority has been and how little is left for us to take it away,” Nieto began her speech. “I want to address those who have not mobilized (…), next Sunday’s elections are about your problems, about when you will be able to become independent.” “You can’t buy houses and that has political reasons,” warned the candidate for the presidency of the Junta.
“We have run a very clean, very human campaign. “We have felt the effect and the affection,” he had told the media in the morning at the Dos Hermanas market. “This, against a PP that has played dirty until the last day and has tried to invoke fear and censorship.”

A few hours before the campaign closes, Maíllo again focused on healthcare and the screening crisis demanding answers from Moreno, and also appealed to the vote’s effectiveness for Por Andalucía against the PSOE or Adelante Andalucía.
Sunday’s result will be decisive for the political space also at the national level. In the midst of a reconfiguration process, the four-way coalition between IU, Más Madrid, Comúns, and Movimiento Sumar still has to choose a leader and brand, two issues that have been set aside during the campaign. The elections also represent a trial by fire for Maíllo himself, who has taken on the responsibility of achieving a result that allows them to continue building the alliance and add new formations. The federal coordinator of IU, who was already the lead candidate in Andalusia in 2015, is also partly risking his political capital, since a poor result would not only jeopardize the viability of a project for the general elections but could also question his leadership at the head of the organization. For now, no one on the team believes they are at that point.
