The adjustments of the different political parties just after the start of the legislature follow one another. And among them, the latest addition made by Yolanda Díaz stands out. The second vice president, and leader of Sumar, has hired Noelia Vera, who was Irene Montero’s number 2, as the new communications director.
The movement, reported by Eldiario.es, has a great political charge – some sources add that it is even “vengeful” – and comes to fill the gap left by Díaz’s previous communications director, Virginia Uzal, named this week as the new cabinet director of the second vice president and Minister of Labor.
Vera began the last term as spokesperson for Podemos, being one of the closest collaborators in Montero’s circle of trust. However, in September 2021 she resigned from the position, and also her position on the Podemos Executive, being relieved of both positions by the controversial purple leader Ángela Rodríguez Pam.
During her political period, she became one of the best-known faces of Podemos by serving as spokesperson for the party, which she shared with the leader Pablo Echenique, and she also held the feminism area in the direction of Podemos after being elected in the primaries of the last citizen assembly of Podemos, within the list of the current general secretary of the formation, Ione Belarra.
She was also a deputy in Congress from 2015 until her resignation in 2021 for the Cádiz constituency and was in the team of former Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias in the Vistalegre II assembly where the dispute with the Errejonista sector occurred.
In her farewell to politics for personal reasons, Vera had words of gratitude for Irene Montero, Belarra and Iglesias, who also dedicated messages of support and recognition to her career.
Now all that is behind them since their return to the front line will be outside of all of them and under the orders of whom Iglesias himself has established as the main political enemy of the purple space.
