The political party Podemos has begun preparations for the 2027 elections by establishing regulations for primary elections to select autonomous and municipal candidacies.

In the Balearic Islands, Ana Rosa Abejón has been selected to lead the list for the Parlament representing Mallorca, following Lucía Muñoz’s decision to decline the regional leadership role. 

As the party formalizes its strategy, Irene Montero, a former Minister of Equality and current MEP, is set to present her candidacy to lead a left-wing coalition in Madrid. Operating under the slogan ‘Paz, casa, trabajo’ (Peace, home, work), Montero aims to establish a project that is ‘distinctly left-wing’ to compete for leadership to the left of the PSOE. Her platform emphasizes housing prices, reduced working hours, the cost of living, peace, and the climate emergency. While seeking to build a broad left-wing candidacy, Podemos maintains a veto against the Sumar movement led by Yolanda Díaz.
