The former vice president of the Government and former leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, replied this Thursday to Sumar that those who should leave the record are not the Podemos deputies in Congress, but “those who lie” about the rupture in this political space.
Iglesias has valued the political update in statements to TV3 where, censuring that Sumar’s spokesperson has called it “logical” that the purple deputies left their act after leaving the confederal parliamentary group.
Iglesias has assured that the organizational secretary of Podemos, Lilith Verstrynge, had a conversation with Josep Vendrell, director of Vice President Yolanda Díaz’s cabinet, and, asked why she did not have this conversation with Díaz, he pointed out that the communication was of you to you between “organization secretaries”.
Furthermore, he recalled the similar decisions “of Nueva Canarias, UPN and Compromís, which presented themselves with the PSOE, the PP and Podemos”, respectively, “and went to the mixed group”, to make it clear that “a collective decision of a party is not transfuguismo”.
However, he has advocated “turning the page” to “cooperate, leave resentment and bad talk aside and try to lead the Executive towards left-wing policies.”
“I believe that the Podemos deputies are going to find many agreements with the Sumar deputies. Now that there is no longer any reason to argue, the relationship is going to be much easier and more sensible,” he stated.
