The Executive plans to not prolong after the finish of the yr virtually all the packages accepted in successive decrees since June 2022, equivalent to vitality reductions, transport aid or the discount in VAT on meals. “If we make a mistake, we can set the country back,” the appearing second vp has warned. “Prudence, serenity; Let’s analyze the insurance policies that work and people who do not, however take into account that any incorrect motion can make us really feel ache,” added the leader of Sumar. Yolanda Díaz spoke these words in a session of her training designed to “relaunch” the political project and which focused on social rights, the territorial issue and Europe. There, the leader of Sumar has attacked some rights that she considers have already “failed”, one day before the PP’s political event to protest against a future amnesty law.

The leader of Sumar has defended that her political space “makes sense only for a country that does not make cuts”, a warning about the position of his party in the debate about the elimination of aid raised by the war conflict in Eastern Europe. “We believe that there are measures that do not work well, for example, the 15% tax credit for those people who decide to purchase a home,” said the second vice president, who stressed that this measure only “abounds in the policies of “housing speculation.” “Benefiting public transportation is very effective,” she countered.

The “most social” legislature

Despite the economic risks that grip Europe, with Germany in recession, the acting head of Labor has also advocated turning the upcoming legislature “into the most social in history.” With this objective, she has emphasized the reduction of working hours, one of the star measures presented in the 23-J campaign.

They do it because they are desperate. They do it because they have no country project. They do it this week because they know that Feijóo’s project and [Santiago] Abascal has failed before he began,” Díaz stressed just three days before the popular candidate’s investiture debate is held. The vice president has also spoken about this moment. “It has become clear that he is wasting our time, committing constitutional fraud with article 99 [de la Carta Magna]. He said that he wanted to talk to all the political parties, with the regional presidents, and he himself got into their trap. […]. “He lies to himself,” he said.

In full negotiations with Junts to be able to assemble a majority that allows the reissue of the progressive coalition between PSOE and Sumar and with the PP act against the amnesty scheduled this Sunday, the vice president has also criticized that the right only mobilizes “against rights , with no.” “They want to continue living from the political conflict, from the territorial confrontation, because they think that this ensures they can govern,” Díaz warned.

In a few days that have included the presence among the audience of the leader of Más País, Íñigo Errejón, or the members of the Izquierda Unida leadership Carlos Sánchez Mato and Jon Rodríguez Forrest, Díaz’s group sought to give continuity to the work carried out by the thematic groups since July 2022—interrupted by the electoral call—and that shape the “country project” in the medium and long term. In the middle of the debate on how Sumar should be articulated in the future – the federal coordinator of IU, Alberto Garzón, opted on Friday to create a “broad entrance” in which the vice president’s organization is “another” -, the leader of the space This Saturday he emphasized the “importance” of “dialogue with all political actors, but also with civil society”, placing emphasis on the “citizen” character of the movement.
