New earthquake in the space of United We Can after the former purple leader, Pablo Iglesias, has charged against the second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, considering it “miserable” and “politically stupid” to stand “in profile” when “a colleague is crushed “, alluding to the “hunt” that, in his opinion, has been carried out this week against the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, as a result of the release of prisoners convicted of sexual abuse due to the entry into force of the law of “only yes is yes”, led by his wife.
This is how Iglesias expressed himself on his Twitter account after Díaz distanced himself this Friday from Podemos in criticizing the judges and demanded “prudence” and “let the Supreme Court work” on the Organic Law of Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom , convinced that “in a few days we will have some answers on these issues”, in the same line that President Pedro Sánchez marked on Wednesday from Bali shortly after the crisis broke out.
The leader of Unidas Podemos has avoided speaking out about the criticism that the purple formation and the Ministry of Equality have leveled these days against the judges. Díaz, on a visit to Valencia to attend the International Technical Forum of Senior Labor Inspection Managers -tomorrow he will have an act of Sumar- has avoided supporting these attacks on the judiciary.
Of course, the Minister of Labor and Social Economy has defended that the norm of the department directed by Irene Montero “is of extraordinary importance for the country” and its mission is “to protect the victims and the defense of the sexual freedom of women” .
Shortly after, Iglesias has taken advantage of his Twitter account to leave three reflections on what happened this week in which he has not explicitly mentioned the vice president, but it was not necessary.
In addition to charging against Díaz, the former vice president of the government has attacked “a good part” of journalism, in his opinion, in “growing degradation” and has verified that the “judicial right is a political actor.” He ended his reflection by assuring that “standing in profile when a colleague is being beaten is not only miserable and cowardly, but politically stupid.”
Relations between Iglesias and Díaz, whom the former leader of Podemos himself appointed when he left politics as the next candidate for the purple space in the general elections, already became very tense last week when the former vice president launched a challenge to his successor in the Government of Sánchez in the Fall University of the party.
Iglesias demanded that Díaz respect the party’s militancy after attributing to Díaz the plan – also “stupid” – of thinking that the municipal and regional governments will clarify the weight of each one in space and will later facilitate the incardination of Sumar as a candidacy of generals in a space without command. Díaz responded two days later that “Sumar is not the complement of anyone” to claim the independence of the space that he is organizing for the generals.
