Lara Hernández

Lara Hernández is the Coordinator General of Movimiento Sumar, the political party founded by Yolanda Díaz. Sumar is a key player on the left of the PSOE in Spain's political landscape. Hernández's leadership is currently under scrutiny, leading to an upcoming extraordinary congress aimed at potentially replacing her. This internal power struggle follows a period marked by doubts about her direction of the party. The move comes as Sumar seeks to redefine its role and structure, particularly in the post-Yolanda Díaz era. Recently, Sumar has also taken a more assertive stance towards its coalition partner, the PSOE, exemplified by a coordinated delay in a Council of Ministers meeting to push for specific policy changes, including housing measures. Hernández has publicly defended this strategy, arguing that Sumar's presence is crucial to prevent the government from shifting to the right.
