The leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, has assured this Thursday that her party “looks” at the PSOE in the face of the negotiations to form a government, insisting that in these agreements she will seek to “gain rights” for all citizens, while at the same time He has criticized the attitude of the Socialists: “There are people in the PSOE who think that we have already protected the citizenry too much.”
In a dialogue in Lyon with the founder of La Francia Insumisa (LFI), Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who began his speech by thanking the Sumar leader for her “victory” against the “Spanish Francoist extreme right”, Díaz contrasted the models who stood for the elections of 23-J, with a “right and extreme right”, in reference to PP and Vox, who, in his opinion, wanted to “make the country go back” to a “black and white Spain” ; that of Sumar, or that of the PSOE, so that “things remain as they are.”
At this point, the leader of Sumar has ruled on the negotiations with the Socialists for the formation of the next coalition government. Díaz, who has acknowledged that he is already “discussing” with the PSOE, has criticized that a sector of the party chaired by Pedro Sánchez considers that “citizens have been protected too much”, against the model proposed by Sumar.
“We think that there is no better economic policy than the one that protects workers”, he pointed out, while defending that Sumar’s proposal is that of “a country that advances and wins rights”, transforms it “in ecological terms” , and recalled that they made a “plurinational campaign and with the reason for equality within”, including women and the LGBTI collective.
In this context, Díaz has defended that from Sumar “they are not afraid” of a “subalternity” with the PSOE because, as he has assured, they look “straight on” at the majority partner and “at the citizens of our country.” “We speak clearly to the workers and the workers and also to the businessmen. We say clearly and we look into their eyes that we are two steps ahead so that in these negotiations the country is one step ahead,” he pointed out.
