Oviedo, Apr 4 (EFE) of the party and thus prevent him from running as head of the list in the regional elections on May 28.
The Occupational Health Committee of Podemos is the national body of the party that, as it has indicated to EFE, has raised a sanction against her based on the “classist and aggressive attitude” that she maintains in party meetings and for having participated in an escrache last year, something she denies.
According to Tomé, the alleged escrache to which the national leadership refers took place at the gates of a court where he appeared to accompany a Podemos Asturies worker who was going to trial for “having been unjustly dismissed”, as demonstrated by the fact that he won the case.
Tomé, who has until tomorrow to present allegations against said file, leads the critical sector with the current leadership of Podemos Asturies and with the purple formation at the national level.
“I am sad, outraged and surprised” that, while the general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, “vehemently defends the primaries in Sumar, she scorns the results of the primaries in Asturias, she despises them and those who believe in the internal democracy of the party,” he said.
The candidate for the Presidency of the Principality prevailed over that of the official sector in primaries held in November of last year to elect the head of the list of the purple formation for the elections on May 28 and since then the confrontation between the two sectors has not stopped growing.
According to Tomé, in the last six months it has been “made invisible by the party’s interim leadership, headed by Rafael Palacios, who took it over weeks ago due to the medical leave of the regional coordinator and national deputy Sofía Castañón.
“They do not invite me to any act or to participate in the media, I do not appear on the party networks, they do not meet with me except to attack me and I do not have the financial and human resources to work on the campaign,” the candidate from We can, which has made a call to the militants of the purple formation to recover internal democracy and stop this situation.
To do this, they have been asked to participate in the campaign to collect signatures that the regional deputy and exporter of Podemos Asturies Enrique López has undertaken for the celebration of an extraordinary citizen assembly that involves the election of a new regional coordination and a citizen council.
In his opinion, we must recover the strength and legitimacy of Podemos, and show that the strength is in the militancy and not in a direction that is committing “a democratic outrage” with which they seek their expulsion, just as they have already done ” with peers of great worth.”
Among the most recent expulsions is that of Daniel Ripa, former general secretary of Podemos Asturies and who was replaced by Sofía Castañón at the head of the party after winning the primaries by a narrow margin.
