西班牙硬左翼未能联合参选提前大选 分开提交名单削弱左翼执政前景
马德里——西班牙硬左翼政党10月17日（周六）在组建全国性竞选联盟的谈判破裂后，分别提交了候选人名单，出战定于11月29日举行的提前大选。此举降低了社会党首相 Pedro Sanchez在大选后继续领导左翼联合政府执政的可能性，因为西班牙选举制度对单独参选的小党不利，尤其在席位较少的省份。
争议集中在马德里与巴塞罗那这两大选区的名单领衔人选上。由少数派政府内数个政党组成的「广泛阵线」平台与另一主要硬左翼政党「我们能」（Podemos）连日来公开争执。「广泛阵线」领导人、前巴塞罗那市长 Ada Colau在其平台于马德里举行的发布活动上说：「过去几天非常艰难……今天会有人失望，对此我感到抱歉。」
「我们能」党领衔候选人、前平等部长 Irene Montero曾提议以公开初选决定联合名单的人选排序，但「广泛阵线」以时间不足为由拒绝，并坚持由其属意人选领衔马德里与巴塞罗那名单。「我们能」随后与主张加泰罗尼亚独立的加泰罗尼亚共和左翼（ERC）单独达成协议。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Spain's Hard Left Fails to Unite Before Snap Election
MADRID — Spain's hard-left parties on Saturday, October 17, presented separate candidate lists for a snap election after talks on a nationwide pact collapsed, reducing Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's chances of staying in power at the head of a leftist coalition. Spain's electoral system disadvantages smaller parties running separately, particularly in less populous provinces, where fewer seats are available.
The Broad Front, a platform comprising several parties represented in the minority government, and the other main hard-left party, Podemos ("We Can"), had been publicly arguing over the leading positions on joint candidate lists for the November 29 election in Madrid and Barcelona, the largest constituencies. Long-standing animosities between former comrades-turned-rivals did not help. "These past few days have been very difficult ... some people will be disappointed today, and for that I am sorry," Ada Colau, the former Barcelona mayor and leader of the Broad Front, said at her platform's launch event in Madrid.
Podemos, whose lead candidate is former equality minister Irene Montero, had proposed open primaries to determine candidates' positions on joint lists. The Broad Front refused, arguing there was too little time, and wanted its own preferred candidates to lead the lists in Madrid and Barcelona. Podemos then made a separate pact with the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), which favours Catalan independence. (GSM, based on Reuters reporting)
