Drago Project (Spanish: Proyecto Drago) is a political party of the Canary Islands created by former Podemos secretary Alberto Rodríguez Rodríguez on 24 October 2022.[1][2] The party plans to run for the regional elections in Spain in 2023.[3][4][5][6][7]
On 20 January 2021, the Supreme Court of Spain indicted Rodríguez for an alleged crime of attack against authority and misdemeanor or misdemeanor injury for incidents that occurred in 2014.[8] The high court began the procedure once the Congress of Deputies accepted the request requested in December 2020.[9] In October 2021, he was convicted of attacking authority, having to pay a fine of 540 euros in compensation for avoiding imprisonment and being disqualified from holding public office.[10] He was disqualified as a deputy on October 22, 2021, after a few weeks of controversy between the Supreme Court and the Congress of Deputies.[11] On October 23, he announced that he was leaving Podemos.[12]
In January 2023, Rodríguez announced that the party had joined the Más País coalition of left-wing and regionalist parties.[13]
During February 2023 the party formed a coalition comprised by four parties.[14][15] However, in the following month, Canaries Now left the alliance.[16]
