Rodrigo San Martín to lead IU candidacy for Palencia mayoralty

Rodrigo San Martín has been selected as the Izquierda Unida (IU) candidate for the mayoralty of Palencia in the 2027 municipal elections. Following a primary process, the current councilman aims to challenge the long-standing dominance of the PSOE and PP parties in the city.

San Martín stated his intention to improve the party's results and positioned IU as the only true left-wing option for the citizens of Palencia, citing the IU municipal government in Zamora as a potential model.
