Irene Montero has insinuated that Yolanda Díaz is putting herself “in profile” in the confrontation that Podemos and the PSOE are having with the correction of the law of only yes is yes and has contrasted the attitude of the second vice president with that of the party purple and herself to “always be there, especially in difficult times”. That is why she has finished off by saying that her performance will have to be “appreciated by people”.
The dart on the way that Díaz exercises his political leadership is part of the tense struggle between Podemos and Sumar for the reconfiguration of the space of the alternative left to the PSOE for the next general elections, where for now the differences between the two parties are preventing an agreement to unite and leave in the air the possibility that there are two competing candidacies.
With this context very present, the Minister of Equality has hinted at her discomfort with Díaz for understanding that she is not getting involved in such an important issue. Podemos has resumed its offensive against the PSOE since last Monday and pressures it not to go ahead with its proposal to reform the law of only yes is yes. She accuses him of throwing himself into the arms of the PP, “a party that has voted against all women’s rights”, to have the votes to approve the proposal.
For her part, the vice president did not want to comment yesterday on the debate between purples and socialists and pointed out that she “allows parliamentary groups to work” without issuing “opinions” about what they do. Although she assured that as a “democrat” she will vote for what the United We Can group dictates.
“Many times you have asked me what I have to say when it is understood that Yolanda puts herself in profile and I am going to do the same as the other times. I think that people have to value that,” Montero responded in an intervention on Canal Red , the Pablo Iglesias channel, where Díaz was reproached for “ignoring” the situation.
The minister has continued her response opposing the two attitudes and vindicating the way her party acts. “What I can do is speak for myself and for my political formation, which is Podemos. Of course, what we do is always be there, especially in difficult moments, because only in this way can a country be transformed and rights can be advanced. “.
Yesterday, in an official video of Podemos for the electoral campaign, the purple party also reproached Díaz for his lukewarmness and his complicity with the PSOE. When presenting what it is to be from Podemos, he said that “he is the militant of his whole damn life who hallucinates and is indignant when he sees that his ministers stand in profile with NATO and the war in Ukraine.”
It is also proclaimed that Podemos “is the Spanish rebellion that transforms and to continue transforming this country, the rebellion of those who do not keep silent is needed.”
There is another allusion to Díaz in the form of a response after he stated months ago that Sumar wanted to remove the left from the “corner” of the political table to seek a more transversal and majority space. The video makes ugly those who think that Podemos “is a group of resistance fighters far from the majority and condemned to live in a small corner of the board.”
