The Second Vice President of the Government and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, will begin her so-called listening process on July 8 in Madrid, as she herself announced this Thursday in the Al Rojo Vivo program of La Sexta. The itinerary will last until the end of the year, and from it will come the country project that should inspire an electoral program and a platform whose objective is to reunify the space that at the time gave rise to Podemos.
Once the process developed from the Sumar platform has concluded, Díaz plans to decide whether to run to lead a candidacy at the head of the political space, on a platform in which, as he has insisted these months, "the parties have to be there but they don't have to be be protagonists. “As soon as the listening process is over, in December, I will make the decision, which will not be mine, it will be collective,” he said.
The vice president planned to start this listening process at the beginning of the year, but the elections in Castilla y León, in the first place, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the exceptional palliative economic measures, led her to delay it until June. Finally, the call for elections in Andalusia, caused the last delay.
Díaz informed the space parties this Thursday —including Más Madrid—, as he explained, of the beginning of his itinerary, which will have “full citizen protagonism”, he stressed in the televised interview. The vice president indicated that the date for the inaugural act in Madrid intends to coincide with Gay Pride Week, a celebration, she indicated, of "plurality and diversity."
In the opening ceremony, in which, according to Díaz, many people will participate, she will explain the details of the process that will take her "throughout Spain", and in which, in any case, Díaz herself assures that she will hardly speak at the acts, because she intends to that the leading role be citizen.
