The leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, clings to the pre-electoral Barometer published yesterday by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) to promote the candidacy of her party, which she positions as a determining factor for an eventual political change to occur in Galicia starting on February 18.
The aforementioned Barometer attributes to Sumar, whose candidacy is led by its still parliamentary spokesperson Marta Lois, an expectation of between 0 and 2 seats. However, Díaz considers this meager background key: “It is precisely Sumar that makes the Popular Party lose its absolute majority,” he insisted, in an interview on Antena 3.
“If we add, they come out,” he summarized, interpreting that “it does not come with the Socialist Party of Galicia and with the Bloc.” That is why he once again asked “Galicians to vote as they did on July 23”, the date of the last general elections, when the three left-wing parties together obtained more support than the Popular Party in its last absolute majority after the elections. regional elections held in 2020.
The leader of Sumar has been questioned about the alleged political departure revealed on Monday by the general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, and for which the Government would have offered the position of ambassador in Chile to the former Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, in exchange for not to enter the Sumar lists in the general elections or, later, in the new coalition Government.
Díaz did not deny the news, whose offer, according to Podemos sources, she would have made herself. And she limited herself to “giving full support” and “valuing” the diplomatic corps for carrying out “a task that is very important for the world we are living in.” And when she was cross-examined about the matter, she extricated herself, assuring that she never talks about speculation.
