In parallel to the meeting held this Wednesday between the general secretary of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, with a view to re-editing a progressive government, Ione Belarra, general secretary of Podemos, has insisted on demanding the Ministry of Equality for the current minister Irene Montero, who was left off the coalition lists in the 23-J elections, to vindicate the work of the purple formation in these almost five years of Government.
The Minister of Social Rights has also addressed especially the PSOE, as the formation that has received the task of forming a government, so that it works for a stable and transformative legislature for which she has considered it essential that Podemos be represented in the future executive in the figure of Irene Montero, in addition to mentioning other conditions that the purple formation sets: That rents be frozen, that the gag law be repealed and that work continue in democratic memory.
In statements to the media at the Colmenar Viejo cemetery, where she went to visit some graves of victims of the Franco regime, Belara asked the PSOE to "take the next legislature seriously" and "not make citizens choose between the bad." or the worst", which she herself has translated as "a term in progress without anything changing" or an electoral repetition that, in her opinion, "would put the government on a silver platter for the right."
The leader of Podemos has recalled that her party is not Sumar, that "the votes are what they are" ( Podemos has five seats) and has regretted that the negotiations "are not advanced as they should" and an example of this - she said - is that they have no response from the PSOE to the requests they have made so far.
