Más País is a political party and electoral platform formed by Íñigo Errejón around Más Madrid in order to contest the November 2019 Spanish general election. The platform was announced on 22 September 2019 and was formally launched on 25 September, out of a desire of preventing dissatisfaction from centre-left voters over the failure in the government formation process between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Unidas Podemos to translate into a higher abstention rate. During the party's presentation, Errejón announced that it would avoid running in the smaller constituencies, where they would be unlikely to win any seat but could contribute to other left-of-centre parties—mainly PSOE and UP—losing out their own seats due to vote splitting.
