In the midst of the conversations between the groups to form the Congress Table and the crossing of statements by the leaders to strengthen the story of each one, Sumar wanted to vindicate himself yesterday through his spokesman, Ernest Urtasun. Faced with a scenario in which those of Yolanda Díaz can be diluted by the fact that all eyes turn to Junts, Urtasun reproached the PSOE for a “lack of ambition” with “insufficient” proposals. In an interview in La Ser, Sumar’s spokesman sent a clear message to the Socialists: “As we seek other support, we ask the PSOE to sit down and seriously negotiate a progressive government.”
Although he does not doubt that they will end up forming a coalition government, Sumar’s spokesman criticized the “excessively little specificity” of the Socialists and warned that they must “go with a concrete, detailed and ambitious progressive government program.”
Through the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Héctor Gómez, the Socialist Party responded to the words of Sumar’s spokesman. “The PSOE has shown its enormous bravery, courage and daring in a difficult context,” said the minister. Gómez defended that the Socialist Party is “a serious state party” and that it has demonstrated “more than what it is capable of” while prescribing “prudence, moderation and discretion.” “The rights do not add up, and our obligation is to work to have a government of continuity that applies progressive policies,” he added.
