Yolanda Diaz referred for the first time to the exclusion of Irene Montero from the lists summer to frame it in the category of act of “generosity” by the Minister of Equality. “It is not our style to veto”, the second vice president of the Government responded this Tuesday to the question of whether she had explicitly prohibited the incorporation of the policy of We can to your project.
In an interview on Cadena Ser, the also head of the Labor portfolio has underlined the “complexity” of the confluence of a citizen movement and political formations “as it had never been formed since the transition.” And in this sense, she wanted to “thank” the “many resignations” that have occurred, implicitly alluding to the issue that strained the negotiations until the end.
Díaz’s version contrasts with that of Podemos, which has openly described Montero’s exclusion as “unfair veto by Yolanda” for “accepting the rules of the game of reaction” against feminism. However, the party she now leads Ione Herb He has no intention of breaking the pact reached with Sumar to run with the same ballot for the general elections on July 23.
Despite the discrepancies that have been maintained during this legislature, the vice president wanted to “value” the work of the Minister for Equality for her contribution to “widening” the rights of women and LGTBI people, but within the work carried out by the coalition government. “Individual policies contribute little; I at least come from a culture that has to do with a broad gaze,” she stressed.
In addition, Díaz has made ugly the “incorrectness” of Pedro Sanchez for saying in another interview on Onda Cero that he has friends who have “felt uncomfortable” by some “confrontational” speeches on equality by Podemos. In this sense, the leader of Sumar has pointed out that “feminism is an intellectual movement that, nothing more and nothing less, walks towards equality, questions society and, therefore, is uncomfortable”, to which she has added: ” Be careful with the things we say, in one case and in another”.
