Calling Seguro a “left-wing candidate” is a massive stretch.
He’s a run of the mill center-left politician, and ideologically he’s 90% center and 10% left. He could’ve easily ended up in PSD and wouldn’t look out of place at all, so it’s not a big ideological sacrifice at all for the moderate section of PSD to support him. The issue is that the radical section of the party has taken power (including the Prime-Minister), and for them publicly supporting someone who is very slightly associated to the left is unthinkable
I wish other countries conservatives were this pragmatic
Based AF. I wish other countries right wingers would have this enough common sense .
Seems like it’s more individual members rather than the official PSD stance, I was impressed for a second there
Shame Poland conservatives don’t see it that way 🙁

Admirable pragmatism
This would never happen in Spain
