The president of En Comú Podem in the Parliament, Jéssica Albiach, has assured that the break between the commons and Podemos was “very hard” for her and that she felt “kicked out” of the party to which she belonged before becoming coordinator of the commons. .
“I felt like they were throwing me out,” said Albiach, in an interview this Wednesday on the RTVE program Cafè d’idees. “For me it has been a political and emotional break,” added the spokesperson, after remembering her beginnings in the militancy of the party led today by Ione Belarra. “When you have not been active anywhere, and suddenly you become so excited about a project, you see it evolve, and you see that you diverge more and more from its line of withdrawal, for me it was hard,” details Albiach.
Likewise, the leader of the commons has assured that she has not maintained contact with Podemos since the investiture plenary session of Pedro Sánchez, after the approval of the Belarra party’s measure to end double militancy within the party, on 4 December. November.
“I remember that I was in the investiture debate, and I started to write a text, and I thought to myself that they were not telling me anything, that I was in an uncomfortable position, and that it did not seem honest to me. And I had to stop writing because it was super painful for me,” says Albiach. “I needed some time to pass before talking about the issue because it hurt me too much,” the spokesperson emphasizes.
Despite this, the leader of En Comú Podem remains firm in her commitment to run in the next elections as a coalition, because, she assures, “I have not forgotten where I come from, and I am convinced that we will agree on most things, as we have done until now.”
Albiach has also gone so far as to describe Junts per Catalunya’s refusal to approve the omnibus decrees presented by the central government, which are being voted on in the Jewish Congress, as an “attempt to profile”.
“We must not lose sight of the competition that Junts and ERC have on the map,” comments the spokesperson, who affirms that the PSOE proposal is “common sense” and that she is convinced that “people who have voted for PP and Vox in the general elections, can share that we need to face the skyrocketing prices of the cost of living and that above all we cannot lose the 10 billion euros that must come from European Union funds.”
“We have heard a few excuses from Junts,” criticized Albiach, who listed the amnesty, the invasion of jurisdiction or the sanctions on companies that left Catalonia. “This is not about Sánchez and Puigdemont. “This applies to all the people who live in this country,” said the spokesperson.
