Clarified the suspense that Junts included in the debate, finally choosing not to vote, and the tie resulting from the problems caused by electronic voting, the only decree that the PSOE and Sumar Government failed to approve yesterday was the one that they boosted the seconds. But those of Yolanda Díaz were not the only ones to be portrayed in the finis h photo, since Podemos’ veto meant that the votes of the five lilac deputies ended up being counted in the same box as those of PP, Vox and UPN. Something that those of Ione Belarra did not expect since, when they announced the meaning of their vote, they took it for granted that Junts would line up in their same direction.
Podemos understood that the reform entailed a “cut” for people over 52, while Sumar rejected this reading. The open war between the two formations, partners until just a few weeks ago, did the rest. And the respective challenges led to the repeal of the text.
All this, leaving a taste of revenge from the purple party towards the confederal space after it felt “belittled” in all the decisions that followed since the general election campaign with the presumed veto of Irene Montero as the main offense. “Revenge is a dish that is served cold”, was heard in small committee conversations.
The position of Podemos was harshly criticized by almost all members of Sumar. Starting with Díaz herself, who even issued a warning to Belarra when she pointed out that “punishing those who have the least” can be “very expensive” in politics.
After her, the spokeswoman for En Comú Podem, Aina Vidal, also spoke, which she described as “an enormous lack of respect for the unemployed in our country”.
“Today they are not harming the vice-president, but the citizens”, added the Catalan, setting the usefulness of each one for the voters as one of the points on which the campaign will pivot in the Galician elections in which the two formations will compete with well-sharpened knives .
