The second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has made ugly the Vox candidate to evict Pedro Sánchez de la Moncloa, Ramón Tamames, who is “deteriorating” democracy with “a destructive motion of censure.” “The use of a constitutional instrument without an alternative program is not correct”, she has reprimanded her.

In a very critical tone, the also Minister of Labor has underlined how “confusing” it is for her that an economics professor formerly a member of the PCE, the party of which she is a member, is now the representative of a radical right-wing formation after having been part of the student movement that, together with the union movement and the women’s movement, contributed to the transition.

With his intervention, Díaz has made a pair with the President of the Government in the reply to Tamames of this motion of censure in full internal struggle of the political space located to the left of the PSOE for his leadership. Two weeks after the launch of his Sumar platform on April 2 without having reached a prior agreement with Podemos, Sánchez has allowed him to use the congressional speakers’ rostrum as an electoral catapult for the end-of-year general elections.

“You present yourself without a government program with a single objective, which is to overthrow the adversary. This debases democracy, this does not make us great as a country. You know better than I that democracy is opposing programs, opposing ideas, and coming here with an aim as spurious as it is to hit the Government of Spain and try to overthrow it with a single point in its program which is to call early elections, I sincerely believe that it is not correct”, the vice president has reproached the Vox candidate.

In this first session of the debate on the motion of censure in Congress, the ministers of his Government have been present except for the head of Justice, Margarita Robles, who is in a security forum at the European Parliament headquarters in Brussels.

Díaz has referred to all of them, both those of the PSOE and those of the group of which he is a part, United We Can, including the two representatives of the purple formation -Irene Montero and Ione Belarra-, despite the public pressures that have been transferred to him for some time weeks to reach a coalition agreement. She has been particularly affectionate with Sánchez, of whom she has stressed that she is “the president of all Spaniards”.
