Espacio Alternativo (Alternative space) took this decision at a special Conference in Madrid on November 22. The decision to stand in the elections was taken with 70% voting in favour, 22% against and 8% abstaining. The new name of the party was also adopted by 70%.
After this Conference, Anticapitalist Left will start a campaign to collect the 15,000 voters’ signatures necessary to be able to stand candidates. This campaign is an initiative that’s open to all left-wing social, union and intellectual activists.
