The peace between Sumar and Podemos ended a day after the elections when Ione Belarra, general secretary of Podemos, blamed the second vice president's coalition, of which Podemos is a part, for the loss of votes for "renouncing feminism and making Podemos invisible." Díaz responded this morning to the leader of the purples, recalling that Unidas Podemos, that is, Podemos and IU, obtained a million votes in the last "municipal and regional elections" of 28-M, thus underlining that Sumar has tripled the number of ballots in the general elections last Sunday.
The acting Minister of Labor has claimed in Al Rojo Vivo that "feminism belongs to no one" and that what her party defends is "feminism in favor and that adds up".
"Today the country is much better, there is a lot of satisfaction among progressive people," Díaz remarked, adding that he found out about Belarra's words through the press. "He did not tell me on election night, the parties own his words," he added.
These words by Díaz are a reply to the criticisms of the general secretary of Unidas Podemos, who stressed last Monday that it was Podemos who "chose Yolanda Díaz to widen the space and govern with more force", and yet, the balance is that "Adding has left more than 700,000 votes and many seats compared to the worst result of Unidas Podemos".
The Sumar leader has also commented on the current situation of the political landscape after the results of the general elections. Díaz has transmitted a message of "tranquility to the citizenry" and has assured that "we are going to have a coalition government." "Feijóo's erratic campaign has caused the Spanish to go out en masse to vote and say they want a progressive government," Díaz added.
According to the acting second vice-president, in the European Union "breathing is much better" after Sunday's results and she stated that "citizens slept peacefully on 23-J".
However, to revalidate the coalition government, the PSOE and Sumar must reach agreements and obtain the support of various political formations. In this sense, Díaz has assured "without a doubt" that with so much support the government can have stability, and has confirmed that he has "spoke personally" with Jaume Asens to "work with all the Catalan forces."
"Feijóo has no chance of carrying out the investiture, he has no alliances," Díaz pointed out.
