Without yet having gauged the real scope of the earthquake that shook the political board yesterday on the left of the PSOE, the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has called for “serenity” after yesterday’s breakup of the fragile alliance that Sumar and We can maintain it since last July. Although this does not mean that he has avoided reproaching the purple force for “contributing to citizen disaffection,” also warning them that it would not be understood that “public policies that are good for people’s lives could be put in check for the interests of one party.” “.
In statements in Congress on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the Constitution, Díaz has avoided describing the five purple deputies as “turncoats” for their departure yesterday to the mixed group, but she has said she is convinced that “no one is going to be mistaken for an adversary.” “in an attempt to scare away the ghosts that could threaten the stability of the coalition government after the breakup of the confederal space.
Díaz, who attended the events for the 45th anniversary of the Constitution escorted by Sumar’s group of ministers, has insisted on demanding “high-mindedness” from all those who want to defend the good of this country because the context political is very difficult, since the Executive “is being besieged by a destructive policy of the PP and the extreme right that wants to destabilize the Government.”
After recalling that citizen disaffection is now greater than in 2015, he stressed that “what we have seen yesterday contributes to citizen disaffection.”
For her part, the general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has stated that the decision to break with Sumar in Congress and move to the Mixed Group has been a “difficult” decision but that “she has had no choice but to do so” to maintain his “brave” voice in Congress. And she has claimed that they have acted responsibly to fulfill the “mandate” of the citizens and their members, which is none other than promoting “ambitious” measures during the legislature, both in economic matters and in feminism.
” Podemos has turned the page. Podemos leaves behind an extraordinarily difficult moment for our organization and now, with renewed strength, we begin to fulfill the mandate of citizens, which is to work to continue promoting brave, feminist and ambitious transformations,” he noted. in statements to the media in Congress when attending the act of commemoration of the Constitution.
Along with the other four purple deputies, Belarra has claimed that Podemos is a “useful tool” to promote brave policies and that a voice is necessary in Congress that says, for example, “loud and clear” that Israel is perpetrating a genocide with the Palestinian people, something that was not possible when yesterday he was unable to intervene in the appearance of Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares.
The stories of Sumar and Podemos will fight from now on to capitalize on the advances in social rights, the defense of decent housing, the protection of workers and pensioners and the fight against the tax privileges of large corporations.
Both parties also agree on maintaining the divorce made official yesterday in Congress outside of the possible electoral alliances that Sumar and Podemos have begun to explore in Galicia and Euskadi. Both leading groups have stressed their respect for the decisions made by their respective autonomous leaderships regarding the 2024 political cycle.
