Political activity in Navarra has centered on criticisms of regional management and the formation of new political alliances. Initially, tensions rose as UPN President Cristina Ibarrola criticized regional President María Chivite over declining public services, including long medical waiting lists, poor educational results, and a 150% increase in demand for protected housing. During this period, Podemos Navarra also asserted its political independence while maintaining its collaboration with the Contigo-Zurekin coalition.

Subsequently, Izquierda Unida de Navarra (IUN) announced plans to introduce the Frente Amplio project to the region. This initiative aims to build broad alliances to address the housing crisis, the cost of living, and the preservation of public services. IUN also signaled its support for a general strike on November 11 to advocate for labor rights and wages.
