Overview
- Laura Moreno resigned from her role as Sumar secretary of Organization and left the party, a move that sources say took effect on Monday and that she formally told the party leadership about on May 25.
- In a resignation letter made public by several outlets Moreno accuses interim coordinator Lara Hernández of workplace harassment, says six internal complaints were filed, and alleges a 'fraud' in Sumar’s November 2025 Valencian constitutive primaries.
- Sumar has opened or is processing an internal investigation into the harassment complaints and party sources say Fabio Cortese will temporarily assume Moreno’s organizational duties until the assembly sets a permanent structure.
- An extraordinary assembly scheduled for July will decide new coordinators and organizational rules, with Verónica Martínez Barbero emerging as a principal alternative to Hernández and party factions preparing for a contested vote.
- The episode deepens a multi-year leadership crisis that began after poor 2024 election results and multiple high-level departures, has strained staff and activists, and could affect Sumar’s role in alliances with IU, Más Madrid and the Comuns.
