The former leader of Can and former vice president of the Government, Pablo Iglesiashas challenged other leftist forces, in clear reference to UI and Addthat if they want to demonstrate a “vocation for unity” their deputies join the demands of Podemos to “bend the hand” of the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchezand thus achieve breaking relations with Israel and lowering rents by law.
In his speech, he also said that “it is striking” that some are now uttering many messages appealing to unity “in the face of failure” of the political project that was “designed to make Podemos disappear”, in reference to Sumar.
Iglesias has expressed himself in these terms during his participation in one of the debate tables of the autumn uni of Podemos, the forum for ideological rearmament of the purple formation, with the backdrop of the position of the leader of IU, Antonio Maíllo, who this weekend has opted to achieve a single candidacy on the left for the next electoral cycle with without “vetoes and with “everyone in”including Podemos after the break with Sumar.
In this sense, Iglesias has praised the position of the leader of the formation, Ione Belarrawhich this Saturday at this same event raised its tone before the Government and conditioned the support of the four purple deputies to the Executive to break diplomatic relations with Israel and lower rents.
“They want to build unity, because to join the four deputies from Podemos and the rest of the left-wing deputies who have enough strength to bend the president’s hand. And that is where it will be possible to see whether or not there is a unified will,” exclaimed the former leader of the purple formation.
He suspects that the answer will be “malmenorism”
Furthermore, he pointed out that all left-wing deputies have the opportunity to support a “very simple” demand where there is consensus in society. “Everyone in Spain wants rents to go down and everyone wants Spain to do something real and not just gestures in the face of the genocide that the Israeli Government is carrying out,” he assured before launching his call to the left-wing parties to do what Junts has already done. , make their votes count to achieve amnesty.
However, he has acknowledged that he suspects that the response to Podemos’s position will be the “malmenorism”, simply appealing to fear for the extreme right to govern without demanding the PSOE, and has appealed to the members of the party not to fall into “internal fights”, given that this is already “on the left as always.”
Podemos asserts the power of your votes
In turn, the former leader of Podemos has confronted the fact that an Amnesty Law has been approved “exclusively” because Sánchez needed the votes of Juntswho has used his votes to achieve that “legitimate” political objective and which the PSOE rejected until it had the “political need” for the support of the neoconvergents for his investiture.
For this reason, he highlighted that Belarra’s position of setting conditions for Sánchez’s support “is extremely important”, given that in politics It’s not just enough to “be right” but also has the determination to use the power of its votes, as Junts does, to achieve measures that are demanded by society.
He has even explained that this position is the reason why the PSOE did not want Podemos back in the Government or went so far as to propose that “from outside” the formation an attempt will be made to elect your representative in the coalition Executive, evoking when the second vice president, Yolanda Diazproposed to the former leader Nacho Alvarez as a possible minister, instead of the former minister Irene Montero as Belarra wanted.
Then, the former vice president has prescribed to other political forces that before making appeals for unity, They must make it “very clear” with “who is” and if they are going to dare to say, for example, the “proper names of the power of corruption and lawfare in Spain” that attacked Podemos, something that was used by a certain left to “gain positions.”
There are judges who operated against Podemos
On the other hand and on a more theoretical level, Iglesias has pointed out that we must learn from the right on certain issues, since he is clear that Politics is an “ideological battle” and liberal democracy a matter of struggle of correlation of forces. And for this reason they are “very clear” that the majority of judges, large companies and media outlets must have the capacity to “ideologically co-opt” left-wing leaders.
Subsequently, it has been asked whether the unions, some with more than a million members, could not have promoted media or created schools for the training of progressive judges. On the other hand, Iglesias has pointed out that the purple formation feels like “a daughter of Latin America”, given that They learned to do politics by looking at Latin American experiences as in Argentina and Colombiawhich are part of the “political DNA” of the purples.
“That is something that they have never forgiven us in this country, that we like the democratic presidents of Latin America more than the Spanish kings. But we will continue to prefer them“exclaimed the former leader of Podemos.
At the same time, he has denounced that the right when there is a correlation of forces in favor of the social majorities, they stop being “democratic” and assume that we have to fight not only electorally but also from their “political operators within the State”, activating related officials in high judicial and police levels and in the economic and media sectors.
For example, he has mentioned that when Podemos broke in They were described as “extreme left”despite going to the first elections with a program that could be defined as “social democratic” and they were considered a “danger.”
And Iglesias has maintained that for this reason there were “judicial operators”, specifically naming former magistrate Manuel García Castellón and judge Juan José Escalonilla, who they “overreached” in the use of the law to launch “prospective investigations” against Podemos, which frames the practice of lawfare.
