The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has warned the Government that to have its support in Congress it will have to undertake the breakdown of relations with Israel and lower the price of rents by law.
Meanwhile, the MEP and number two of the party, Irene Montero, has claimed that Podemos was the “pressure and noise” for the PSOE to assume transformations, to criticize that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and his “allies”, in what seems to be an allusion to Sumar, have managed to remove from the Executive that the “coupist, reactionary right” rules the country , undemocratic. This is how both have transferred it in the central event of the ‘autumn Uni’, one of the great ideological forums of training, held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
During her speech, Belarra explained that the demonstrations in favor of the right to housing have marked a “before and after” and that the “genocide” in Gaza forces action to “stop the feet” of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“People can’t take it anymore”
And with the framework of the future negotiation for the General Budgets as a backdrop, Podemos has said “enough” and conveys “very clearly” to the Executive that “if they want the support of Podemos, they are going to have to break commercial relations with Israel and lower rents by law. “People can’t take it anymore,” has riveted
In this way, Belarra maintains the critical line towards the Government that has intensified with the new political course and raise the requirements for Podemos to support the Executive’s initiatives. In fact, during this week they have emphasized that They are not considered parliamentary partners of the Executive and that their votes in Congress are key, like those of Junts.
The purple deputy in the Mixed Group in Congress has charged against the PP and the PSOE, whom has been branded for decades as “lackeys” of speculators, which has resulted in people not being able to access their homes. “We must take houses out of business, out of the market, and guarantee housing as the human right that it is,” he demanded.
At the same time, he has criticized that the right only accepts democracy when it wins and even has aa coup attitude through the “reactionary robes.” And in the face of this drift, he has declared that social democracy has become more of a problem than the solution. Regarding the situation in Gaza, Belarra has denounced that images have been seen of how the Israeli army burned people “alive” and has asked what difference there is between this behavior and the “gas chambers” of Nazism.
Relations with Israel
For her part, Irene Montero has focused her speech on attacking the bipartisanship, given that PSOE and PP try to show that they are very different but both tell Israel that it is a “friendly state.” «Both of them are supporting Europe’s complicity with the genocidaires, with the criminals. Spain is today with Sánchez governing, with the PSOE in the Moncloa, a transit country for the weapons that Israel uses to murder Palestinian children», he added.
Then, Montero has refuted the image that Sánchez is the European leader who does the most for the Palestinians when, while the Government maintains relations with Israel, he tells the “genocidaires” that he is going to put on the labels of imported products that they come from of illegally occupied Palestinian territories. A mention with which he slipped an implicit reproach to one of the measures promoted by the Minister of Social Rights, Pablo Bustinduy, within the area of consumption. Also has stated that bipartism is associated with corruption and in reference to the ‘Koldo case’ he has countered that while Podemos was fighting to include a cap on rental prices in the social shield, members of the PSOE were putting their hand in the box.”
Meanwhile, he has reproached the PSOE for “not daring to tell the “truth” in light of the decision of the Second Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court to charge for the first time the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, and who is, his opinion, that the reactionary sectors of the judiciary have been perpetrating blows to democracy for some time. And at the head he has placed the Supreme Court magistrate Manuel Marchenawhom he accuses of saying goodbye by giving another “blow” to democracy and of doing “politics” more than “any member of the judiciary.”
In this event, the purple ones have shown off international alliances with the intervention of the MEP from Insoumise FranceRima Hassan, the British MP and former leader of the Labor PartyJeremy Corbyn, and the MEP of the Left Bloc of Portugal, Catarina Martins. Precisely Podemos, Francia Insumisa and the Bloco have formed, together with four other leftist formations, a new European party, called the European Left Alliance for the People. An alternative formation to the European Left Party, where IU, the German Die Linke and Syriza are referenced.
