Barcelona (EFE) electoral and political tragedy.
In statements to Rac1, Iglesias referred to the act this Sunday in Madrid in which Díaz made public his candidacy for the general elections with Sumar and expressed his intention to be “the first president” of Spain, without ties of any kind.
“I, woman, am nobody’s. We are tired of guardianships”, affirmed Díaz, who this Monday in an interview with El País stressed: “Sumar is a political revulsion, it would not be a failure without Podemos”.
In response to the words of the also Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Iglesias has commented that “today is one of those days in which it is necessary that the stomach does not disturb the head.”
“Threat of involution”
According to Iglesias, “we must claim that unity is more necessary than ever” and that it is “very important that Podemos and Sumar reach an agreement for the elections”, given the “threat of regression” that, in his opinion, would represent a hypothetical government of PP and Vox.
The former vice president has denounced that there are interests from media groups that want Sumar and Podemos not to join forces electorally and, consequently, “within Sumar there is a debate about whether he wants to go to the elections with Podemos or not”, but that “is a trap”.
“If in the end they get Sumar to decide to go without Podemos, that is going to be an electoral and political tragedy,” warned Iglesias, who has challenged those who think that Podemos would “subtract” them in an electoral contest to say so “openly.” .
For the former leader of Podemos, “this is a mistake” because “Podemos continues to be the great ideological actor of the left in Spain.”
In his opinion, Díaz “thinks that she can effectively be president of Spain by occupying the symbolic space of the PSOE”, an analysis that Iglesias does not share.
