Madrid (EFE).- The Vice President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has suggested that she would not have kept the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, in office after the death of 23 immigrants in the Melilla valley and that if she were president of the Executive would designate for that position someone who “enforces human rights in our country and anywhere in the world.”
“You cannot play with human rights,” Díaz said in an interview with journalist Jordi Évole broadcast this Sunday on La Sexta, in which he described what happened in Melilla as “intolerable” and assured that in politics “one they have to assume responsibilities because that greatly dignifies both politics and the person.”
On the lack of agreement between his platform Sumar and Podemos to run together in the general elections, he has rejected that it is due to differences over the call for open primaries, as the purple ones affirm, and he has regretted that the parties prioritize issues of “money, ready and released.
She has been emphatic in ruling out the possibility of running with the PSOE in the elections if there is no agreement with Podemos and she has been optimistic about the outcome of the negotiations to ensure that there are not two ballots, while asking that the fights be forgotten because “we have an opportunity to change this country and give people a chance”
“Do you think that if we sign a document with the primaries, they are in Sumar? I tell you no. The devil is in the details, we are going to negotiate everything”, Díaz stated, while stressing that “two do not agree if one does not want to” and that if unity is requested on a “clean cake” the electorate is depressed.
The leader of Sumar has also revealed that both the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the former Vice President Pablo Iglesias have macho behavior, and has said that the latter has to let people fly and do things.
“I did not imagine such a heightened role” in Podemos, although he has acknowledged that he always had doubts about his withdrawal from politics because “he knows him well”, but considers that he is currently “arch-present”.
After emphasizing that she does not like a certain way of doing masculine politics and defining herself as a “quite free” woman, a democrat and who knows how to lose, she recalled that she was “very angry when Iglesias handpicked her as the party’s candidate for the elections generals.
He has pointed out that currently his relationship with the former purple leader, whom he has defined as “very grumpy”, “is at a time when we do not think the same things.”
Díaz is not worried about the upcoming visit of the emeritus king to Sanxenxo, but he would like him to render accounts and explain what he did when he was head of state, and, although he has not recognized himself as a monarchist, he has expressed his respect for the institutions , when asked by King Felipe VI.
The Vice President of the Government is clear that it will be in the next decade when the debate on the future of the monarchy opens and she has been in favor of having a head of state elected by vote, a position in which she would like to see the journalist Iñaki Gabilondo.

Although she has not wanted to make it public, Díaz is clear about who she would name at the head of some ministries in the event of being elected president of the Government and has said that Pedro Sánchez would have the position that he considered appropriate.
Regarding the conflict in Ukraine, and after emphasizing that the invasion of Russia is illegal, violates international law and is illegitimate, she has shown herself to be in favor of dedicating “a great deal of effort to negotiate, dialogue and end this bloody war”.
In addition, he has assured that he would break the agreement signed by Sánchez with the King of Morocco on the Sahara and would return to the traditional Spanish position, while defining the regime in that country as a dictatorship.
