Cocoordinator of Movimiento Sumar Carlos Martín Steps Down for Health Reasons

Carlos Martín, the cocordinator of the political party Movimiento Sumar, has resigned from his organizational role within the party due to health concerns. He announced that he will continue to serve as a deputy in Congress and remain the economic spokesperson for the party. In his statement, posted on the social network X, Martín emphasized the importance of paying attention to his health after experiencing recent warnings. He did not disclose specific details about his health issues but assured supporters of his ongoing commitment to his responsibilities as a deputy and spokesperson for Economy and Finance in Congress. Martín's resignation comes after a significant period for Movimiento Sumar, which saw his election as cocordinator alongside Lara Hernández during the party's second general assembly in March this year. Their leadership, which also featured the third vice president Yolanda Díaz, was the only slate to receive the necessary endorsements to be presented to voters, garnering an impressive 93% support. This election marked an essential transition for the organization, filling the leadership vacuum that arose after Díaz stepped down from her role as general coordinator following disappointing results in the June 2024 European elections. As Martín steps back from his organizational duties, his continued presence in Congress and commitment to economic policy remains vital for the party. His recent health concerns underline the personal challenges faced by political figures and the importance of health and well-being in such demanding roles. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
