This morning in Vigo and in the afternoon in Santiago de Compostela. These are the two central acts of Sumar on this last day of the campaign for the presidency of the Xunta. A frenetic day for which the confederal space, and its candidate, Marta Lois, will have the support of the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, with the intention of securing the two seats to which, according to polls, the party for A Coruña aspires and Pontevedra.
In that sense, Sumar presents himself as “the force that balances the coalition government” certifying that he is not contesting “the seat with any progressive formation” because his party is the one that “takes deputies away from the Popular Party.” A reasoning questioned by some sectors of the left given the fragmentation of the progressive alternatives to the left of the PSOE -BNG, Sumar and Podemos-.
The leader of Sumar, in fact, has charged from Vigo against the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, ensuring that what the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and the popular candidate for the Presidency of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, is that the Madrid woman “has her suitcases at the door to kick them out of the Popular Party.”
Accompanied by the candidate for the Presidency of the Xunta, Marta Lois; the deputy in Congress Verónica Martínez, and the number 1 for Pontevedra de Sumar, Ramón Sarmiento, Díaz has assured that the PP “is really bad” if it has to bring Ayuso in the electoral campaign. “We take this campaign seriously,” she then claimed, discrediting Ayuso’s words about the cleaning of pellets and the deaths in Madrid nursing homes during the pandemic.
For all these reasons, Díaz has stressed that Sumar is the party that does not deceive anyone and that knows “very well” who it represents: the “workers” of Spain. And he has justified it by highlighting measures such as the increase in the minimum wage.
