The second vice president and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, has accused the PP of being “breaking with the institutions of the State” and has not spared any criticism of the opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, for the “reluctance and the demands” shown before the meeting that will be held tomorrow with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez: “It seems very serious to me. The PP’s strategy is too risky,” insisted the leader of Sumar.
“When one chooses a spokesperson like Miguel Tellado coming to say that the president of the Government is little less than a dictator or that we are living in a coup d’état… that is a true declaration of intentions,” Díaz argued in an interview. on the Ser channel in which he has asked the PP to stop “frivolizing with those things. Mr. Sánchez is the president of all Spaniards, he represents our country and we must treat him with dignity and respect,” he added after Feijóo’s refusal for the meeting with Sánchez to be held in Moncloa.
The second vice president assures that “the PP has decided to cross this line of breaking constitutionality, in the line of being anti-system.” Although he understands Sánchez’s decision to accept Feijóo’s demands: “The President of the Government must attend, call him and meet with him and, of course, try everything because citizens need to see the President of the Government and the leader of the opposition dealing with the problems of Spain. But I listened to Feijóo and Gamarra just yesterday, and the problem is that the PP has no project for Spain.” “He is a hostage of Vox,” she stated.
Despite the closed defense regarding her relationship with the opposition, the second vice president has acknowledged having “many disagreements” with the PSOE on immigration policy and has not hesitated to describe the agreement signed in the European Union as a “step backwards.” in this matter. “Human rights cannot be relativized in one part of the world,” she lamented.
Díaz considers that “what we are experiencing today in the world, in the Mediterranean, is absolutely unacceptable” and therefore asks to be “on alert” for an agreement that “has opened our hands to the agenda of the extreme right” in Europe. .
“I admit that I always like to reach agreements, but there are pacts that, sometimes, it is better not to sign if they restrict the law on the right to asylum and worsen the situation of human beings in the world.”
Among the existing differences between Sumar and the PSOE, those maintained by Díaz herself with the first vice president and Minister of Economy, Nadia Calviño, have transcended in many of the negotiations undertaken between the two, such as the subsidy one that ended yesterday. The Minister of Labor has described the debates between the two as “passionate”, although she has admitted to having “enormous appreciation” for them. “I think it is a source of pride that the European Investment Bank is chaired by a woman and a Spanish woman,” he admitted.
On the other hand, he has been less talkative when talking about Podemos. Asked about the departure of the purple formation to the mixed group, Díaz has shown her interest in reducing the noise surrounding the divorce from the confederal space and has asked the rest to do the same, remembering “politics has become one of the main problems of our country”.
The important thing is that we have to deploy useful policies, now we are going to raise the minimum wage,” he made an effort to highlight to showcase Sumar’s achievements in the face of Podemos’s step aside.
