La Laguna (Tenerife) (EFE).- Sumar’s candidate for Prime Minister, Yolanda Díaz, stated on Tuesday that “the wind has changed, there is a comeback wind” and “we only have hatred in front of us.”
The “Feijóo and Abascal ticket” are “full of hate”, but “have no doubt that we are going to get it,” Díaz said at an electoral act held in the Plaza del Adelantado in La Laguna before some 500 people, at who urged to “shake off fear and anger” because “the polls are open and “there is a wind of comeback.”
Yolanda Díaz affirmed that Sumar does not stop making proposals because it is “the calm force that wants to govern to improve people’s lives” and among other commitments she stressed that “we are going to end unpaid overtime”, it is going to be reduced the working day without loss of salary and is going to leave work an hour before.
He highlighted the good employment data and that Spain is close to having 21 million people employed, but “there is still a long way to go” and in this regard he promised that in the next legislature unemployment figures comparable to those in Europe will be achieved.
“Structural unemployment is not a biblical curse, we are going to converge with Europe and have the unemployment rates of the European average in the next legislature”, he assured.
“They told us that it couldn’t be done,” but the reality is that “we have saved the Spanish economy through the labor reform and the increase in the minimum wage,” he said.
He stressed that “it is not only possible to reduce the working day without reducing the salary, but it is essential to increase productivity.”
He also defended the application of the Spanish Constitution so that all the country’s wealth is subject to the general interest and all people have decent housing.
“It is a mistake not to have extended the limitation of 2% in the renewal of the rental contract” when housing and unemployment are the two big problems for people, said the candidate.
Another of its commitments has been to air-condition schools and nursing homes, to dignify people’s lives.
Díaz affirmed that being Galician she shares with the canaries the weariness of being told that they are the periphery. “We are our own center” and that is why it is key to “add from the Canary Islands”, he affirmed.
“There are attempts to turn the Canary Islands into a tourist colony and we cannot allow that,” said Yolanda Díaz, pointing out that Canarian youth must have a future in their own land, with dignity and without precariousness.
He assured that the tourist monoculture is going to end and that the Canary Islands have the right to live and develop in a different way.
The head of the list of Sumar for Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Alberto Rodríguez, who preceded Yolanda Díaz in his speech, affirmed that no one should give up the party for lost, because the right and the extreme right find it very difficult to govern, since they are completely isolated and they will only reach Moncloa if they obtain an absolute majority.
Rodríguez affirmed that now the Spanish right cannot even count on the support of the Basque or Catalan right as in the past, and he hoped that it could not count on the Canarian right either, referring to the Canary Islands Coalition.
“They have money on hand, they have media speakers under control, but they are isolated,” he proclaimed, so “it is absurd to give up the game for lost.”
Alberto Rodríguez, leader of the Drago Project, affirmed that Sumar is a plural project that respects the plurinationality of the State, so that “matters that affect the Canary Islands have to be decided in the Canary Islands.”
“It is not a whim, it is a question of basic democracy, of proximity, it is zero kilometer democracy,” he said.
Rodríguez promised that from all the institutions “we are going to give our all so that justice is done for the Saharawi people and that they can decide their future in freedom.” EFE
