The Vice President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, opened the electoral campaign in A Coruña this Thursday and did so announcing that she has sent a letter to all the candidates for the presidency of the Government proposing to sign a State commitment against cultural censorship, that the new administrations of PP and Vox are implanting in town halls and autonomous communities where they govern together.
He did so by giving the floor to the actress Marisa Paredes, who made a plea for freedoms and against censorship, recalling the times when the morality police decided what content should be available to the population: “We have to feel freedom ours, absolutely ours, because we are free and they cannot take that away from us,” he said, before recalling that “we cannot allow something as immense as freedom to be crushed and it will be crushed,” he said, “if we allow a series of madmen, all together, return to occupy a place that cost us so much to get ”.
The actress wondered, “How can they be so afraid of freedom?” and they responded by attributing the censorship excesses a “feeling of impunity, which makes them think that they are the owners of the country, owners of the soul of the people, that they are capable of doing the greatest atrocities, with complete peace of mind, because they do not have a moral sense of life”.
Paredes, who was said to be linked to the Sumar project, was the emotional start of the campaign of Yolanda Díaz’s act in A Coruña – “I like Yolanda and I like the Sumar project” -, in which the former mayor of Barcelona, ??Ada, also participated Colau. The former mayor of Barcelona had a memory for Xulio Ferreiro, former mayor of A Coruña, praise that she extended to all the mayoralties of the municipalism of the change that conquered Coruña, Santiago, Cádiz, Barcelona, ??Madrid and Zaragoza in 2015.
Colau praised what the end of bipartisanship meant for municipalism, described the Sumar process as “revolutionary”, as an invitation to the confluence of so many political formations, against the “confrontation of the moment”, in which that enemies exacerbate differences. Colau described as “historic” the confluence of fifteen political formations that Sumar brings together.
According to former mayor Sumar, it represents the ability to “represent diversity and that some stop using that diversity to confront us.” In Catalan, Colau pointed out that Sumar means recognizing the plurinationality of Spain, “loving our languages ??and our diversity”. She stressed that Sumar is the political option that she proposes to vote for, not against anyone, and she called for “voting en masse.”
Colau called to identify who the adversary is and stressed: “I am dying of embarrassment when listening to Mr. Gabriel Rufián who fears Yolanda Díaz more.” And he called on the head of the Esquerra list to rectify: “He was already wrong voting against the labor reform and two mistakes are enough,” said the leader of the commons, who said that he should stop trying to please Twitter and television.
Colau closed his speech by thanking Díaz for putting the interests of the youngest on the front of his campaign start, instead of talking about fear of the future. “The women of this country must vote for the first female president of Spain.”
The candidate began by talking about Sumar’s health program and recalled that the program on her platform aims to incorporate oral health into universal health, as well as ophthalmology, as a memory and tribute to the surgeon and transplant coordinator José García Buitrón, who died on last September 17, and one of the faithful supporters of Unidas Podemos, first, and of Sumar, later.
Díaz spoke of the need to reduce the working day, raise the minimum interprofessional wage, and asked for the vote to “continue making the improvement of people’s lives” the objective of Sumar’s political action. The vice president recalled that there are “people who are afraid, who have doubts and who mistrust” and asked them for a vote of confidence.
He recalled that Núñez Feijóo’s plan, as he has recognized, is to eliminate taxes such as that of great fortunes, so that public services “continue to be paid by the great social majorities.” But he spoke of a “hidden program” of the PP, because the victory of the right supposes, he assured, the cut in pensions and the delay in retirement. “This campaign is about you, about small things, and I ask you to do your part, kick the Galician cities, talk to everyone, so they vote for Sumar.” According to the vice president, “if we are not very big, there is no progressive government in Spain.”
Díaz recalled that the right predicted that the arrival of the crisis we were going to reach a figure of 30% unemployment, and recalled that 27% unemployment was the balance of the PP’s management of the 2011 crisis, and that today Today, Spain has the highest percentage of employed population in its history.
