In 2015, Antonio Morales was tempted to run for the Gran Canaria Cabildo elections under an independent platform that included Podemos, created in 2014. But he opted to keep his electoral group Roque Aguayro in the structure of Nueva Canarias on his own. The experiment turned out to be a success. Finally, with the support of Podemos and PSOE, he evicted the PP from the Gran Canaria Cabildo. Part of the NC votes came from two areas: southeast of Gran Canaria and northwest of Gran Canaria, respectively, where Morales and Teodoro Sosa rule with their party, BNR.
In 2023, that weight of BNR has increased with Agaete and the increase in support in Gáldar (19 of 21 councilors). Morales maintained the Cabildo of Gran Canaria and even ran alongside Sosa on the local list of the Las Palmas City Council. But the leader of the party, Román Rodríguez, lost all institutional power with his role as regional deputy in the Parliament of the Canary Islands. "Now, as was done on another occasion, since they maintain the theory of blocking contacts with the Canarian Coalition, we could even have reached an agreement with the PSOE, but not with those people," an NC leader told Maspalomas24H in San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
From NC there are bases, according to Canarias7, who want Sosa to follow the natural path and together with Morales opt to lead the Gran Canaria Cabildo. Neither Morales nor Sosa are communists. What has the NC leadership done in Las Palmas? Agree without submitting to an assembly to participate in the European elections with Sumar, the heir brand of Podemos under the name of Sumar Canarias. NC is, therefore, not going to the European elections with the ERC bloc, Ara Més, EH Bildu and BNG with the Ahora Repúblicas coalition. Regional deputy Luis Campos, a Román Rodríguez loyalist, has said that "I think it is a good agreement, we knew it was important to participate. If we did not attend, we were going to make an important call for participation and especially to left-wing organizations." .
