He harangues his bases that the best way to preserve the political legacy of the party is by asserting their “voice and votes” before the Government
The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has urged her organization to “accept the blow” of its exclusion from the Government by PSOE and Sumar, no matter how much it “may have hurt”, and calls to “turn the page” to the future, asserting its “total political autonomy” in Congress.
This was expressed during his speech at the state Citizen Council, Podemos’s highest governing body, where he once again criticized the “unfair veto” of Podemos after being left without portfolios in the Executive, which he considers a “gross political error.”
In this way, Belarra delves into her disconnection with Sumar to add that it is due to its members and that its function is to preserve the “political heritage” of Podemos, which is its greatest value, given that many people need a left that does not conform. with the “conservative proposal” of the PSOE, in clear reproach to Díaz’s project.
And the best way to “take care” of this political legacy, fueled by the mobilizations of 15M and 8M, is for their “voice and votes” in Congress to continue promoting courageous transformations and restoring a democratic bloc with progressive forces.
Thus, it persists in its message of rearmament and increasing its disconnection from the rest of the plurinational parliamentary group, given that during these days it has warned the PSOE that its support for measures, such as the general budgets, must be negotiated.
In fact, he has claimed that the purple formation has already put personal interests above partisan interests, acting responsibly in the legislature, despite the “veto” of the former Minister of Equality Irene Montero in the Government, of leaders on the lists of Sumar like the former spokesperson Pablo Echenique, and of the “lack of respect” and everything “that happened” when former vice president Pablo Iglesias left politics and Díaz assumed the leadership of the space of the left outside the PSOE.
“Be clear that they can try to veto Podemos, but what cannot be vetoed is the hope of so many people who know that this is their political tool,” Belarra harangued before his co-religionists, who has stated that he is starting to rebuild to the transformative left and the democratic bloc, fractured by its exclusion, in order to guarantee the stop of the “wild” right, with its coup strategy.
The former Minister of Social Rights has stated that the reason for her departure from the Government has been “very clear” and is that the PSOE “only tolerates a partner who assumes its limits.”
In fact, he alluded to the information from the president, Pedro Sánchez, during an informal conversation with a journalist on his recent trip to the Middle East where he commented that the PSOE has “evolved” from making an agreement with Podemos to making an agreement with Sumar.
WE CAN NOT GIVE UP NOR CAN WE VETO THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THEM
And the differential note of his party, as he has conveyed, is that they have shown that with “courage and dignity” they came to politics to lead the main transformations of the country, looking “from one to the other” at the socialists and demonstrating that, with 35 deputies in the previous legislature, they put the PSOE in front of the “mirror.”
Furthermore, he has praised that Podemos is above all a “way of doing politics” that “neither bows its head nor gives up”, but above all “democratic” given that it “owes” to its members, who are decisive in taking the strategic decisions.
“Many people need us and they only have Podemos,” Belarra added to highlight that her party must be the reference and grow from clearly leftist positions, given that they can be excluded but “you cannot veto the people” who have behind.
