Contigo Navarra

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa is a left-wing electoral coalition in the autonomous community of Navarre, Spain, formed in 2022 by Podemos Navarra-Ahal Dugu, Izquierda Unida de Navarra, Batzarre, and associated independent and green groups such as Alianza Verde and Equo Berdea to contest regional and local elections.^[1][2] In the May 2023 Foral elections, the alliance obtained three seats in the 50-member Parliament of Navarre, representing approximately 7.5% of the valid votes cast.^[3] These seats enabled Contigo Navarra-Zurekin to participate in the August 2023 programmatic agreement with the Partido Socialista de Navarra (PSN-PSOE) and Geroa Bai, supporting the investiture and governance of Socialist María Chivite as president through commitments on social welfare, housing, ecology, and public services.^[4] The coalition advocates policies focused on combating poverty, enhancing public transport, and promoting progressive reforms, while maintaining positions critical of monarchy and certain foreign policies.^[2]

Formation and Background

Establishment and Precedents

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa was formally constituted in 2022 as an electoral coalition to contest the May 2023 regional and municipal elections in Navarre, Spain.^[1] The alliance united Podemos Navarra-Ahal Dugu, a regional branch of the national Podemos party established in the wake of the 2011 anti-austerity protests; Izquierda Unida de Navarra-Nafarroako Ezker Batua (IUN-NEB), rooted in communist and socialist traditions dating to the Spanish transition to democracy; and Batzarre, a Navarrese assembly of left-wing groups formed in 1986 to promote participatory democracy and social justice.^[2] Independent platforms and ecological collectives, including Berdeak and Alianza Verde, also joined to broaden representation.^[5] The coalition's establishment addressed the fragmentation of Navarre's non-nationalist left, which had yielded limited electoral success in prior cycles. In the 2019 parliamentary elections, Podemos secured 7.01% of the vote and one seat, while a separate IUN-Batzarre list obtained 4.48% and one seat, diluting progressive influence against dominant socialist and nationalist blocs. This unification echoed earlier efforts at left coordination, such as the Izquierda-Ezkerra pact between IUN and Batzarre since 2003, which emphasized anti-capitalist policies but struggled with internal ideological tensions and competition from newer movements like Podemos. Batzarre's prior involvement in the Nafarroa Bai coalition (2004–2011), a broader progressive-nationalist front, provided a precedent for multi-party collaboration, though Contigo Zurekin deliberately excluded Basque nationalist elements to prioritize class-based solidarity over territorial claims.^[6] These precedents underscored a pattern of tactical alliances amid Navarre's polarized politics, where left-wing groups historically navigated tensions between Spanish constitutionalism and regional autonomist pressures. The 2022 formation prioritized programmatic convergence on issues like public services and inequality, formalized through joint candidate lists announced in December 2022, marking a shift toward sustained organizational integration.^[7]

Motivations for Coalition

The formation of Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa was primarily driven by the need to consolidate fragmented left-wing forces in Navarre following electoral setbacks, particularly the reduction from nine seats in the Parliament of Navarre in 2015 to three in 2019 due to competing candidacies among Podemos, Izquierda Unida de Navarra, and Batzarre.^[8] Party leaders cited this fragmentation as a key lesson, arguing that a unified bloc would prevent vote splitting and enhance representation in the 2023 regional and municipal elections.^[9] Coalition proponents emphasized regenerating Navarran politics through a locally autonomous project, leveraging the region's foral self-governance to prioritize equality, sustainability, and social advancements without external impositions.^[2] Begoña Alfaro, then-coordinator of Podemos Navarra and the coalition's lead candidate for the Parliament, articulated this as creating "a political project for Navarre, thought out in Navarre, managed in Navarre, and whose scope of decision is confined to Navarre," underscoring the conviction in the "strength of our self-government" to defend citizens' living conditions.^[9] The agreement, reached in June 2022 among Podemos, Izquierda Unida de Navarra, Batzarre, and independents, allocated leadership roles—such as Podemos selecting the parliamentary head and Batzarre the Pamplona mayoral candidate—to facilitate internal consensus and broad appeal within the left spectrum, excluding only the Tudela city council race.^[8] This strategic unification was ratified by overwhelming majorities in party consultations, including 78.3% approval from Izquierda Unida affiliates and 98% from Batzarre members, reflecting a shared commitment to collective strength over individual competition.^[10][11]

Ideology and Platform

Core Principles

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa articulates its ideology around a progressive left-wing framework emphasizing social equity, public welfare expansion, and sustainable development. The coalition prioritizes combating poverty through measures such as guaranteed minimum income, accessible housing, and robust investments in public health and education systems to ensure universality and quality.^[12] These commitments reflect the constituent parties' shared focus on redistributive policies and state-led interventions to address socioeconomic disparities in Navarre.^[1] Central to their platform is the promotion of decent employment with work-life balance protections, alongside efforts to eradicate discrimination and foster youth participation in governance. Environmental sustainability underpins economic proposals, advocating for models that balance growth with ecological preservation and territorial cohesion, particularly in rural areas.^[12] Citizen involvement and participatory democracy are highlighted as mechanisms to regenerate local politics, distinguishing the alliance from nationalist counterparts by emphasizing non-ethnic, inclusive governance.^[2] The coalition also upholds republican values, explicitly rejecting monarchical institutions and declining participation in royal events to advance a Third Republic agenda. Foreign policy stances include opposition to perceived sportswashing, as evidenced by calls to bar Israel's participation in international events hosted in Navarre on grounds of accountability for alleged genocide.^{[13] [2]} These positions align with the anti-imperialist and internationalist leanings of its member organizations, including Podemos and Izquierda Unida.^[2]

Policy Priorities

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa's policy priorities emphasize bolstering public services, fostering social equality, and pursuing sustainable economic and environmental transformations. The coalition's 2023 electoral program outlines over 650 proposals across 17 thematic areas, including economy, employment, health, education, housing, and rural development, with a focus on citizen-driven governance and reducing inequalities.^[14][12] In health, the coalition prioritizes universal access to quality care through a proposed Ley Foral de Salud, aimed at strengthening primary care, reducing waiting lists, and expanding mental health services, including a new infanto-juvenile plan and pediatric ICU facilities by 2027; this aligns with the 2023 government agreement targeting approval by December 2024.^[15][16] Education policies seek to elevate public spending to 5% of GDP, universalize early childhood education (free in rural areas), lower student-teacher ratios in vulnerable zones, and integrate coeducation with Euskera promotion to enhance linguistic diversity and equity.^[15][17] For the economy, priorities include a reindustrialization plan emphasizing sustainable production, support for SMEs and innovation, and increasing R&D investment to 3% of GDP by 2030, alongside decent work guarantees and social dialogue to combat precarity.^[15][17] Housing initiatives target affordability by expanding social stock to European averages, imposing rental price caps in tensioned zones by 2024, creating funds for public rental acquisitions, and registering uninhabited properties by late 2023 to address speculation and access barriers.^[15] Environmental efforts focus on enacting a Ley Foral de Cambio Climático by 2024, advancing renewables, circular economy models, and creating the ATENA agency within the first 100 days of governance to mandate carbon footprint reporting and combat climate impacts.^[15][17] Social equality and feminism underscore eradicating poverty, gender violence, and discrimination, with updates to equality laws, enhanced LGTBI+ protections, victim support systems, and mandatory disability perspectives in policies per Ley Foral 12/2018.^[15][17] Linguistic priorities involve extending Euskera co-officiality community-wide, beyond current zones, via education programs and consensus to respect plural identities alongside Castilian.^[16][17] Governance reforms prioritize reducing public sector temporality to 8%, a new employment statute by 2024, transparency enhancements, and municipal empowerment for territorial cohesion and participation.^[15][12]

Organizational Composition

Constituent Parties and Groups

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa is an electoral coalition comprising three primary political parties—Podemos Navarra (Ahal Dugu Nafarroa), Izquierda Unida Navarra (Nafarroako Ezker Batua), and Batzarre—along with a group of independent activists and candidates.^[2][18] These organizations united in July 2022 to present a unified left-wing alternative in Navarrese politics, emphasizing regeneration through broader participation beyond traditional party structures.^[18] Podemos Navarra serves as the regional branch of the national Podemos party, established in 2014 in response to the indignados movement, prioritizing direct democracy, anti-corruption measures, and progressive economic reforms.^[19] Izquierda Unida Navarra, a longstanding federation of communist and socialist groups, focuses on defending public services, labor protections, and egalitarian policies, tracing its roots to the broader United Left platform active since the 1980s.^[19] Batzarre, a Navarrese-specific leftist party founded in 1986 from environmental and socialist currents, advocates for ecological sustainability, social equity, and regional autonomy within a federal Spain.^[18] The independent space within the coalition incorporates non-affiliated individuals and smaller formations, such as green-leaning groups including Alianza Verde and Equo Berdea, to infuse diverse activist perspectives on issues like environmental protection and housing rights.^[20] This structure allows for flexibility in candidate selection, prioritizing renewal, geographic diversity, and social activism over rigid party quotas.^[7]

Leadership Structure

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa functions as an electoral coalition rather than a unified party, with leadership distributed across its constituent organizations—Podemos Navarra, Izquierda Unida de Navarra (IUN), Batzarre, and affiliated independent and environmental groups—through consensus-based coordination mechanisms rather than a singular executive hierarchy.^[2][1] Decisions are facilitated by deliberative bodies that emphasize participation among member parties, as outlined in the coalition's foundational electoral program established in 2022.^[1] Within the Parliament of Navarra, the coalition's parliamentary group, comprising three members as of 2023, is headed by its spokesperson, Carlos Guzmán Pérez, who took the position on September 5, 2023, after Begoña Alfaro's elevation to Vice President of the Government of Navarra.^[21][22] Guzmán, reelected as General Coordinator of IUN on October 25, 2025, serves as the primary public representative, handling legislative interventions and group coordination.^[23] The other group members include Daniel López Córdoba and Miguel Garrido, who contribute to parliamentary activities following Garrido's incorporation in September 2023.^[24][22] This structure reflects the coalition's emphasis on collective renewal and activism, as evidenced by its 2022 candidate selection process, which prioritized geographic diversity, youth, and social commitment without designating a formal coalition-wide president.^[7]

Electoral Performance

2023 Regional and Local Elections

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa contested the regional elections to the Parliament of Navarra, held on 28 May 2023, as a newly formed coalition comprising Podemos, Izquierda Unida de Navarra (IUN-NEB), Batzarre, and other left-wing groups, marking its debut in the 50-seat legislature.^[3] The coalition, headed by Begoña Alfaro as the lead candidate, secured 3 seats, representing its entry into the regional assembly amid a fragmented vote where Unión del Pueblo Navarro (UPN) won the most seats with 15.^[25] Alfaro, a Podemos coordinator in Navarra, emphasized post-election efforts to renew the prior progressive coalition government, focusing on housing, employment, and equality policies.^[25] In the concurrent local elections across Navarra's 272 municipalities, Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa obtained 21 council seats (concejales), achieving representation in a limited number of localities despite the dominance of larger parties like EH Bildu (345 concejales) and UPN (246).^[26] The coalition's municipal performance reflected its targeted strategy in urban and progressive-leaning areas, such as Pamplona, where it garnered approximately 5.16% of votes but no mayoral control.^[27] Overall turnout for the dual elections was around 67.77% for the regional vote, with Contigo's results positioning it as a junior partner in potential left-of-center alliances.^[28]

Post-2023 Developments and Future Plans

Following the 2023 Navarrese regional election, in which Contigo Navarra-Zurekin secured three seats in the Parliament of Navarre, the coalition entered into a programmatic agreement on August 18, 2023, with the Partido Socialista de Navarra (PSN-PSOE) and Geroa Bai to support the minority government led by President María Chivite through the 2023-2027 legislative term.^[29] This pact outlined commitments to progressive policies, including enhanced public services, citizen participation, and fiscal measures, with Contigo Zurekin representatives joining consultative bodies such as the first Mesa de Fiscalidad on January 28, 2025, to influence tax policy discussions.^[30] In parliamentary activities from 2024 onward, Contigo Zurekin has focused on legislative motions and inquiries advancing social, environmental, and internationalist priorities. On October 24, 2025, the group proposed a pilot program for interurban nighttime public transportation to improve connectivity between Navarrese localities, emphasizing collaboration with affected municipalities.^[31] It also initiated efforts to designate the Ablitas military aerodrome as a "Espacio de Memoria" to commemorate historical events, registered an anti-corruption motion approved in the Parliament on October 2, 2025, and questioned government protocols on Basque language use in official acts during a September 24, 2025, plenary session.^[2][32] Internationally, the coalition has taken firm stances, including calls on August 20, 2025, to exclude the Israeli Premier Tech cycling team from the Vuelta a España for alleged "sportswashing," opposition to Israel's participation in the Trampoline World Championship at Navarra Arena, and endorsement of October 15, 2025, mobilizations against Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank, framing them as solidarity with Palestinian self-determination.^[33][34] Domestically, Contigo Zurekin has critiqued government approaches to social issues, advocating for expanded guaranteed income, housing reforms, and anti-poverty measures targeting child vulnerability, while opposing military rearmament in favor of peace initiatives as articulated in an April 18, 2025, statement.^[35] These efforts reflect the coalition's role as a supportive yet vigilant partner in the tripartite arrangement, using its parliamentary leverage to press for implementation of electoral promises on public welfare and equity. Looking ahead, Contigo Zurekin remains bound by the 2023-2027 agreement, with priorities centered on executing program commitments such as service enhancements and participatory governance until the next regional elections, anticipated in 2027.^[36] No public announcements detail post-2027 strategies, though ongoing activities suggest a continued emphasis on left-wing mobilization, including anti-austerity fiscal reforms and international advocacy, to consolidate influence within Navarre's progressive bloc.

Political Activities and Representation

Parliamentary Role

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa secured three seats in the Parliament of Navarre (Parlamento de Navarra) in the regional elections held on May 28, 2023, representing 9.2% of the vote and forming a parliamentary group with the same name.^[3][24] The group's members include Carlos Guzmán Pérez as spokesperson, Miguel Garrido Sola, and Daniel López Córdoba, who collectively handle legislative scrutiny, plenary interventions, and committee assignments as a minority partner in the PSN-Geroa Bai coalition government.^[24] As a parliamentary group, Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa engages in routine activities such as submitting questions to the regional government, proposing session agenda items, and participating in debates on policy implementation.^[37] For instance, on October 21, 2025, the group advanced a legislative reform to enhance worker representation in public companies, emphasizing transparency through employee input in management decisions.^[38] In September 2025, they registered parliamentary inquiries regarding the regulation of Basque language use in official acts, reflecting their focus on linguistic policy within Navarre's bilingual framework.^[32] The group's limited seat count constrains its procedural influence, positioning it as a supportive voice for government initiatives while occasionally pushing independent proposals on social equity, public services, and anti-discrimination measures.^[39] Their interventions often align with coalition priorities, such as fiscal policy discussions and infrastructure developments, as evidenced by spokesperson contributions in October 2024 plenary sessions on taxation and public cooperation.^[40] Despite this alignment, the group maintains distinct advocacy, including calls for non-stigmatizing language toward migrant children in public discourse, submitted for parliamentary consideration in October 2025.^[2]

Legislative Contributions and Votes

Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa, holding three seats in the Parliament of Navarra since the 2023 elections, has focused its legislative efforts on social justice, housing regulation, fiscal policy reform, and migrant rights, often aligning with other left-leaning groups in opposition to the PSN-led government.^[3] The group's representatives—Miguel Garrido Sola, Carlos Guzmán Pérez, and Daniel López Córdoba—have introduced multiple non-legislative motions (proposiciones no de ley) and co-sponsored bills, though their small size limits independent passage, relying on cross-party support for approval.^[24] Key initiatives include a co-sponsored proposición de ley foral, presented on October 23, 2024, alongside PSN and EH Bildu, to cap rental and home purchase prices in high-demand residential zones, advancing government-backed reforms amid housing affordability pressures.^[41] In March 2025, the Parliament approved their motion to pursue reform of Article 135 of the Spanish Constitution and repeal the Budgetary Stability Law, critiquing austerity measures as barriers to public investment.^[42] On October 21, 2025, they advanced a legal reform proposal to enhance worker input in public company governance, emphasizing transparency through staff representation in decision-making bodies.^[38] The group has also driven oversight activities, securing a majority on October 7, 2025, for a parliamentary investigation commission into past regional leadership decisions, summoning former presidents María Chivite, Uxue Barkos, and Yolanda Barcina.^[43] In environmental policy, they co-presented a proposición de ley foral with Geroa Bai and EH Bildu, debated on October 27, 2025, addressing regulatory disparities for biomethane plants to promote sustainable energy transitions.^[44] Earlier, in August 2024, they proposed a non-binding motion urging support for amendments to Spain's Foreigners Law to ease migrant regularization, which faced opposition from PP and Vox.^[45] Notable votes reflect their ideological priorities: alignment with pro-migrant language reforms, as in their October 17, 2025, push for non-stigmatizing parliamentary discourse on child migrants, and active registration of 20 parliamentary initiatives in November 2024, including scrutiny of monument resignification policies.^{[2] [46]} While few solo bills have passed, their efforts have influenced debates on progressive reforms, often critiquing right-wing blocks on social spending and rights expansions.^[42]

Government Participation

2023 Coalition Agreement

The coalition agreement forming the Government of Navarra for the 2023-2027 legislature was signed on August 8, 2023, by the Partido Socialista de Navarra-PSOE (PSN-PSOE), Geroa Bai, and Contigo Navarra-Zurekin, following the May 28, 2023, regional elections in which the three parties collectively held 21 seats in the 50-seat Parliament of Navarra.^[4][3] Titled Acuerdo programático para un Gobierno de Navarra progresista y plural, the document established a coalition executive reliant on the abstention of Euskal Herria Bildu (EH Bildu), which provided the necessary simple majority for the investiture of PSN-PSOE leader María Chivite as president on August 15, 2023, with 21 affirmative votes against 17 negative.^[4][47] Government portfolios were allocated proportionally: PSN-PSOE retained the presidency and eight councillorships (consejerías), Geroa Bai received four—including Health (Salud)—and Contigo Navarra-Zurekin was assigned one, the Department of Housing (Vivienda y Ordenación del Territorio), with each party also securing one vicepresidency.^[48][49] This distribution reflected the parties' electoral strengths, with PSN-PSOE as the largest partner despite Unión del Pueblo Navarro (UPN) emerging as the single largest party with 15 seats.^[3] The programmatic accord prioritized harmonized economic and social policies for sustainable growth, alongside commitments in health and wellbeing, equality and inclusion, housing access, education and culture, fiscal policy and public resources, employment and economic progress, ecological transition, rural and territorial development, linguistic policy, justice and public safety, peace processes, and self-governance with emphasis on ethics, transparency, and institutional collaboration.^[4][50] Specific measures included advancing public investment in social services and environmental protections, though the agreement incorporated compromises, such as exclusions of certain proposals from Geroa Bai and Contigo Navarra-Zurekin on audiovisual content aggregation.^[15] The pact built on the prior 2019-2023 tripartite arrangement but adjusted for electoral losses by Geroa Bai and the entry of Contigo Navarra-Zurekin as a successor to earlier left-wing alliances.^[47]

Policy Implementation and Outcomes

The coalition government formed in August 2023 between PSN-PSOE, Geroa Bai, and Contigo Navarra-Zurekin has prioritized progressive policies outlined in their programmatic agreement, with Contigo holding the Department of Housing, Urban Policy, and Environment. Implementation has focused on expanding access to affordable housing through accelerated public acquisitions, updated subsidy frameworks, and legislative reforms. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, the government exercised its right of first refusal and retraction to acquire as many protected housing units (Viviendas de Protección Oficial, VPO) as were obtained across the entirety of 2024, signaling a marked intensification in public intervention to address market shortages.^[51] Key outcomes include enhanced subsidy accessibility, with the 2025 update to the Suficiencia Adquisitiva por Rentas Anuales (SARA) indicator adjusting income thresholds to broaden eligibility for housing aids, enabling more families to qualify for rental and purchase support.^[52] Additionally, the 2024 and 2025 budgets allocated increased funding for housing rehabilitation, social rental funds, and protections against eviction for vulnerable households, aligning with the coalition's emphasis on preventing exclusion. Sales of new VPO units reached 79 by September 2023, building on prior years' figures amid rising demand, though comprehensive data through 2025 indicates ongoing challenges in matching supply to the estimated 7,000+ annual applications for protected housing.^[53][54] In parliamentary support for executive actions, Contigo Navarra-Zurekin contributed to the approval of a Foral Law on June 19, 2025, enhancing mechanisms for public promotion of affordable units and tenant rights, particularly targeting young families and low-income groups. Broader coalition efforts have sustained employment growth, with Navarra's unemployment rate declining to around 8% by mid-2025 from 9.5% in 2023, attributed in part to integrated housing and economic development initiatives, though causal attribution remains debated given external economic factors.^[55] These measures reflect the agreement's commitments to social equity, yet evaluations highlight persistent gaps, such as covering only a fraction of demand, prompting calls for further scaling.^[4]

Criticisms and Controversies

Internal Divisions and Challenges

In May 2025, Begoña Alfaro, coordinator of Podemos Navarra and a key figure in the Contigo Navarra coalition, announced her resignation from the party's regional leadership to facilitate generational renewal and new directives aligned with the national party's vision.^[56] The state leadership of Podemos, through Secretary of Organization Pablo Fernández, endorsed the move as "acertada," emphasizing the need for leaders "orgullosos del partido" amid ongoing internal reflections on the party's direction.^[57] This leadership transition highlighted underlying tensions within Podemos Navarra, a core component of Contigo Navarra, over strategic alignment with the national organization and the coalition's participation in the regional government. By June 2025, these tensions escalated into a public rift when the national Podemos leadership demanded Alfaro's resignation from her role as third vice president and counselor for Housing, Youth, and Migration Policies in the Government of Navarra, citing the "escándalo Cerdán"—a corruption probe involving Santos Cerdán, a prominent PSOE figure and key architect of the PSN-PSOE's coalition with Contigo. ^[58] Party sources indicated a push to exit the coalition government entirely to distance from the scandal, but Alfaro rejected the demand, describing it as "rastrero" and defending her commitment to policy implementation over partisan maneuvering.^[59] This standoff strained relations between local and national Podemos factions, raising questions about the coalition's cohesion, as Contigo relies on Podemos' representation for its parliamentary and governmental roles. Despite these pressures, coalition spokespersons expressed intent to maintain unity for the 2027 elections, with figures like Carlos Guzmán affirming plans to reedit the alliance while navigating Podemos' internal reorganization.^[60] Izquierda Unida de Navarra, another pillar of Contigo, advocated "blindar" left-wing unity in late 2023, underscoring persistent challenges in stabilizing multi-party dynamics amid ideological and strategic divergences.^[61] No formal splits have occurred, but the episodes reflect broader difficulties in reconciling grassroots governance commitments with national party discipline in a fragmented left-wing electoral bloc.

External Critiques and Performance Assessments

Opposition parties, including Unión del Pueblo Navarro (UPN) and the Partido Popular de Navarra (PPN), have critiqued Contigo Navarra-Zurekin Nafarroa for aligning with policies perceived as prioritizing ideological agendas over practical governance, such as their advocacy for phasing out certain subsidized educational models deemed "unnecessary," which opponents argue undermines educational pluralism.^[62] UPN specifically faulted the coalition in March 2025 for declining support for the Festival Internacional de Danza Ucraniana, framing it as a refusal to engage in cultural initiatives supportive of Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.^[63] Analyses in regional media, such as Diario de Navarra—a outlet often critical of left-leaning coalitions—have assessed Contigo Navarra's performance as hampered by marginalization within the broader government support structure. In December 2024, commentator Marcos Sánchez argued that the coalition's partners (PSN, Geroa Bai, and EH Bildu) frequently bypass it in pivotal decisions, exemplified by the exclusion from negotiations on the Los Caídos monument, resulting in visible parliamentary protests via signage and attire that signal discord and erode projected stability.^[64] This dynamic, per the assessment, renders Contigo Navarra more a peripheral enabler than an influential actor, with its leverage diminished as partners secure majorities independently.^[64] Legislative outcomes provide empirical indicators of limited efficacy: in February 2024, Contigo Navarra's initiative to grant €10,000 to each 18-year-old resident in Navarra faced overwhelming rejection in Parliament, with only its own votes in favor, highlighting difficulties in garnering cross-aisle support for redistributive proposals.^[65] Broader parliamentary records from 2024-2025 show Contigo Navarra's group registering initiatives but often reliant on coalition votes for passage, with opposition blocking measures on fiscal or cultural fronts.^[66] Independent evaluations remain scarce, though these patterns suggest underperformance in policy advancement relative to electoral expectations, amid critiques from right-leaning sources that attribute this to over-reliance on fragile alliances rather than substantive delivery.^[64]
