Sumar has subscribed, as a member of the coalition government, much of the criticism received in recent hours by Alberto Núñez Feijóo after the popular leader refused to condemn the words of the Argentine president, Javier Milei, against Pedro Sánchez, and his wife, Begoña Gómez.
“The fact that he did not immediately come out to defend the president of the Government of Spain after Milei’s attacks completely disqualifies him from trying to preside over the country in the future,” said Sumar’s spokesman, Ernest Urtasun.
The also Minister of Culture believes that if Feijóo did not do it it is because he was tied hand and foot to Vox by the pacts signed between popular and ultras. ”These agreements prevent him from defending the interests of his country, Urtasun has highlighted from the popular leader. Urtasun has also been very critical of the businessmen for “supporting” Milei in Madrid, and has demanded that the president of the employers’ association, Antonio Garamendi, publicly apologize to the Spanish people “for allowing that photograph.”
Despite this, Sumar believes that the Government should be more “forceful” with Israel than with Argentina. “Spain has to go much further than what has been done with Argentina because there is a genocide in progress,” the spokesperson defended following the request from the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) known this Monday to issue an arrest warrant against Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, after the military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Sumar, on the other hand, has distanced itself from the PSOE in a European sense. The head of Sumar’s list for the June 9 elections, Estrella Galán, has attacked the partner of the coalition government by pointing out that there are two PSOEs: “The one from Spain, which improves people’s lives thanks to the push of Sumar , and the one who sits in the European Parliament to agree with the European People’s Party.” “Sumar does not share the policies of regression” that the agreements between socialists and popular groups on migration and asylum entail, Galán has stressed.”
Galán also took advantage of Sumar’s press conference to present the campaign slogan of Yolanda Díaz’s party for the European elections. “Lead the course.”
