Vigo (EFE) ” with him while “the Galician mothers stood up” against drugs.
“Go out and vote for dignity, because Feijóo’s friends are the ones who were with Marcial Dorado while (…) the mothers and the people were fighting and fighting against drugs,” the second vice president of the Government also proclaimed at a rally in Vigo .
Díaz has harshly charged against Feijóo, stressing that “he is not defending the interests of the people of this country” and reproaching him for “insinuating that we were going to manipulate the votes through the public postal service”, when it is the Galician PP that best He knows “what it is to manipulate votes or what it is for people who were dead to vote.”
“We Galicians have something better to export to Madrid than Mr. Alberto Núñez Feijóo”, stressed the candidate, while stating that the ‘popular’ candidate “did away with the Vigo shipyard” and “all his management was negative for Galicia”.
“Go out and vote for culture, for our language,” added the candidate, speaking in Galician throughout her speech, in which she appealed time and again to the “barbarians” on the right, who in her opinion want to take Spain “fifty years ago”.
And “they are serious”, Díaz has warned, highlighting the pacts in various institutions between the PP and Vox, a party of “ultras” that “trampling on the rights of LGTBI people” and “want women to return to the 50s ”.
The leader of Sumar has rejected, however, the triumphalist “story” of the right in this campaign. “When we think they have won the battle, we are defeated; I tell you that we go out to vote with joy ”, she said.
The final sprint begins in Vigo
Díaz began the final sprint of her electoral campaign this Friday, after having dedicated the last two days to her institutional agenda as second vice president and Minister of Labor and Social Economy.
Some 700 people, according to Sumar, have filled the covered pediment of the As Travesas sports center, and another 300 have been left out due to limited capacity.
In an intervention where he has alluded several times to the “fighter” and “worker” character of Vigo, Díaz wanted to remember two groups that are currently holding strikes in Galicia: metal workers and firefighters.
As in the first meeting of his electoral campaign, in A Coruña, Díaz has been accompanied by Verónica Martínez Barbero, who during the legislature has been general director of Labor under the orders of the minister, and who is now contesting the elections as number 1 for Pontevedra.
And also by Marta Lois, number 1 for A Coruña and a figure of maximum confidence for Díaz, to the point of having been chosen to appear as president of Sumar in the initial phase of this newborn party.
Both choose to get a seat in Congress: the constituencies of A Coruña and Pontevedra have always distributed at least one seat to the left of the PSOE since the ‘tides’ broke out in 2015.
THE DETAIL: Díaz has visited Galicia for the second time so far this season, since he started his career at 23J in A Coruña, last Thursday. There is only one other region where the candidate will offer rallies on two different dates: the Community of Madrid, where she will be on Sunday the 16th and Friday the 21st.
THE ANECDOTE: As he already did in A Coruña, Díaz has invited an actress to the rally to endorse his message in a cultural key: if Marisa Paredes was at that start of the campaign, today the act was presented by the interpreter from Vigo María Vázquez, who has thrown repertoire of quotes by Federico García Lorca to proclaim that “without culture there is no democracy”.
THE AGENDA: Díaz has two rallies planned this Saturday, the first in Vitoria -in which it will be his first act with a head of the Podemos list this campaign- and in the afternoon in Gijón.
