Internationalist Initiative–Solidarity among Peoples (II–SP) (Spanish: Iniciativa Internacionalista–La Solidaridad entre los Pueblos, Basque: Iniziatiba Internazionalista - Herrien Elkartasuna, Catalan: Iniciativa Internacionalista – La Solidaritat entre els Pobles, Galician: Iniciativa Internacionalista – A Solidariedade entre os Pobos) was a radical left political coalition from Spain.
Members
[edit]History
[edit]The coalition was banned by the Supreme Court 2009 May, after press reports linked some of its candidates with the banned Basque separatist party Batasuna. Days later, on 22 May, the Constitutional Court cancelled the previous decision.[2]
The goals of the candidature were social justice, full democratic liberties, opposition to discrimination by reason of gender, and the right of self-determination of some of Spain's nationalities. The head of the European Parliament elections list was Alfonso Sastre, a well-known Spanish language playwright. The second candidate on the list was IzCa leader Doris Benegas Haddad and, at number 10, is Alicia Hermida, a well-known Spanish actress.
The coalition gained 178,121 votes (1,12%), but no seats in the European Parliament. The best results of the coalition were in the Basque Country (16%) and Navarre (11,4%). Almost eight in ten votes for II-SP were cast in those two regions.
After failing to win any seats, the II-SP disappeared. However the coalition of The Peoples Decide shares the II-SP membership of left-wing separatist and regionalist parties.
