The same haste that Podemos lacked to communicate in person to Sumar his decision to break the parliamentary alliance has been enough to guarantee the Spanish Government that the stability of the coalition Executive is out of danger.
One after the other, in the last few hours there have been several calls from the leadership of the purple party to several high-ranking leaders of the PSOE – the general secretary herself, telephoned the Minister of the Presidency and, Félix Bolaños – with the sole aim of transmitting tranquility and communicating that this does not go with the socialists.
This stability, however, has a price that the formation founded by Pablo Iglesias will set as the various laws that the Executive intends to materialize from now on are negotiated. The general budgets of the State aim to be the first touchstone in a context of tight majorities that will require each and every one of the votes that on November 16 allowed the investiture of Pedro Sánchez.
Despite the usual differences, the versions of one and the other agree to point out that the coexistence of Podemos within Sumar was becoming impossible and these tensions, in turn, were beginning to take their toll on the PSOE. But, once the divorce is official, the responsibilities are perfectly defined. The faults of each person cannot fall on the others. And vice versa.
And this is how the second vice-president of the Spanish Government, Yolanda Díaz, showed it to her former partners. Modulating her message so as not to load the inks too much in the antechamber of the acts for the 45th anniversary of the Constitution, the leader of Sumar called for “height of sight” to the parties involved. He also warned that it would not be understood that “public policies that are good for people’s lives could be put in jeopardy for partisan interests”.
The leader of Sumar, however, agreed with Podemos when she called for “serenity” which, outside the microphones, she ratified by denying that she was worried about the consequences that could cause the fracture of her parliamentary group.
Belarra, for his part, did not even regret the loss of the positions that Sumar had given them to the Social Rights, Justice and Foreign Affairs commissions by virtue of the purple quota within the now-extinct confluence. The leader of Podemos wants to leave behind as soon as possible what she described as an “extraordinarily difficult moment” for her organization and, with renewed strength, she showed herself ready to continue promoting “brave, feminist and ambitious transformations” from the mixed group ” for the country.
