Yolanda Díaz has put in one more gear at the start of the last week of the campaign and, after sharpening her verb, has tried to suffocate Alberto Núñez Feijóo by demanding explanations both for his “friendly relationship with the drug trafficker Marcial Dorado” and for the ” bonus” that he receives from the party regardless of his salary as a senator.
During her central campaign event, held at La Nave de Boetticher, in the Madrid district of Villaverde, Sumar’s candidate for the Presidency of the Government also challenged the popular leader to attend this Wednesday the debate between candidates -which will include those of the PSOE, Vox and Sumar, but not with the PP-, to give those explanations. “That she explain to the Spanish men and women what her relationship was with drug trafficking”, she has stressed, demanding a minimum of morality from her rival at the polls.
To do this, Díaz has focused on the mothers who for decades fought in Galicia “against the scourge of drug trafficking” and has contrasted Feijóo’s relationship with Dorado – “one of the most dangerous in the history of democracy” against the very hard decade lived with “a lost generation of young people who died from drugs”.
It is not the first time that Díaz has attacked Feijóo with his closeness to one of the Galician drug lords. In fact, he already mentioned it last Friday at an event in Vigo. But doing it in the central act of Sumar’s campaign denotes the change in tone that the second vice president of the Government is looking for a week after the appointment with the polls. “I am criticized many times for not making noise,” she ironized from the rostrum after a more vehement intervention than she is used to.
Accompanied by the leader of Más Madrid, Mónica García, and the most prominent candidates for the Madrid constituency, such as Agustín Santos, Tesh Sidi, Íñigo Erreón, Isa Serra and Montse García, Díaz wanted to amplify Feijóo’s resignation to participate in the debate , initially planned, to four. “He is afraid, and that is why he is not going to go”, she has pointed out who she considers that “he is coming out of the closet” and is revealing himself as he is to all Spaniards.
Díaz has also mentioned the war of the banners that is being waged in this campaign, but she wanted to differentiate the “shameful banners” that Desokupa and Vox have put up with those of Sumar and which, according to her, “include proposals for the people live better” and for a “youth with a future.
Without going out of the youth, he has acknowledged “very sorry for what has happened with the last decree” against the crisis, when the PSOE refused to extend the obligation to raise the rent by 2% at most; “A serious mistake”, he has lamented, promising that she will approve it if she governs. “Go out and vote because our legs are not going to shake.”
Finally, Díaz has appealed to the undecided, with an indirect message against Podemos in front of the spokesperson for the Executive of this party, Isa Serra, who had been the first to intervene: “Sumar constitutes the useful vote; only if Sumar continues to grow, As all the surveys say, there is a comeback and we are going to win”.
