Íñigo Errejón, a co-founder of Podemos, which he left in January after disagreements with its leader, Pablo Iglesias, said he was launching the party, Más País (More Country),
According to the Spanish newspapers Errijon’s difference with Podemos and Iglesias is that he is more favourable to the governing so-called “socialist” party the PSOE (which translates as Spanish Socialist Workers Party!) and wants to see a “progressive alliance” government.
Sanchez the outgoing prime minister has described Errijon as a “possiblist” (presumably as opposed to Iglesias who had raised impossible demands as a condition for supporting a PSOE government and which has led to a general election in November).
So it is “possible” that Errijon sees himself as a future minister. In other words just another reformist and/or careerist.
Perhaps Robbo in Spain can cast more light on this.

I think that them and Podemos contest elections as a joint list?

Eurocomunism was named by the Stalinist Albanian Leader Enver Hoxha as Anti-communism
In Spain they have had four elections in four years
