The Andalusian coordinator of Sumar, who leads the candidacy for the province of Cádiz, has expressed her firm conviction that the party is prepared to form a government with progressive forces if the electoral results on May 17 allow it.
The Sumar representative in Andalusia, also a doctor and professor of Constitutional Law, has expressed optimism regarding the possibility of improving the results obtained four years ago. After an intense campaign touring the province, the candidate assures that, if the numbers allow it, her party will actively engage in governance, ending eight years of Popular Party management that, in her opinion, has deteriorated public services.

"We are running to govern, not to lecture. We want the BOJA (Official Gazette of Andalusia) and we are willing to form a government with progressive parties if the numbers add up. We will get involved."
Regarding priority measures for the province of Cádiz, the party highlights the housing problem. They propose promoting public housing, acquiring and taxing empty homes, and limiting the number of tourist dwellings to reverse the situation in strained areas. In healthcare, they advocate for primary care within 48 hours and the construction of a second hospital in the province, as well as strengthening essential services at Puerta del Mar Hospital and addressing staff shortages in the Campo de Gibraltar.
Education is also a fundamental pillar. The candidate, who is a mother of a child with Down syndrome, criticizes the reduction of public school lines in favor of private agreements and proposes strengthening public Vocational Training to combat structural unemployment in the province, which exceeds the Andalusian and national averages. She emphasizes the need for accessible public distance learning FP, as opposed to high-cost private options.

"Healthcare issues are serious because they kill, and that is extremely serious. But education issues end the future, not life, they end the future of a land."
Finally, the Sumar representative addressed the proposal to convert the Rota Naval Base into a logistics base for the European Union, respecting its economic potential for the province. She called for citizen participation in the elections, emphasizing that voting is the only moment of true equality and that the ballot boxes are still empty, refusing to take the outcome for granted.
