The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, has charged this Tuesday against the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, whom she has accused of being economically ignorant or knowingly lying. "He does not know the labor reality of our country, he does not know the fiscal reality and he does not know the financial reality." This is how she responded, interviewed on Cadena Ser, to the statements of the PP candidate, whom she considers "incapacitated to govern."
Díaz reviewed Feijóo's statements on minimum wage, hours worked, labor legislation, tax matters or the situation of families with respect to inflation and stressed the "total ignorance" of the popular leader when talking about all this. "The mess that has been made with the discontinuous fixed is monumental," continued the also Minister of Labor, who reviewed the measures adopted by the coalition government in economic matters.
He also harshly criticized the words of Alberto Núñez Feijóo regarding the Vox candidate for Valencia, convicted of sexist violence, of whom the PP candidate said that he "had a tough divorce." Díaz maintains that “Feijóo has legitimized that a woman is physically and intellectually mistreated, that violence is exercised on us because someone is in a separation process. This invalidates him to govern this country.”
“Feijóo has legitimized, without shame, that a woman is mistreated because someone is getting a divorce; this is outrageous”, repeated the vice president, who asked for calm around equality policies. "It is not good that we play with feminism, because it belongs to everyone, it belongs to no one."
He also did not like the words of President Pedro Sánchez in this regard, noting that the feminist discourse "makes his friends uncomfortable." "You have to be careful with what you say," said Díaz, who stressed that feminism "is uncomfortable because it challenges society, because it aspires to change it," and in this sense, he stated that "There is no room for cultural relativism when we talk about rights human beings, and we talk about women's rights”.
Regarding the conformation of the Sumar lists, Yolanda Díaz denied that the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, had been vetoed, as Montero herself and the also minister Ione Belarra, general secretary of Podemos, have repeated for two weeks.
“There was no veto for Irene Montero, it is not our style to veto,” said Díaz, who emphasized the difficulties of drawing up lists, “look what happened in the PSOE executive last week”, but he wanted to “put in I value the work of Irene Montero, Alberto Garzón, Jaume Asens”, all of them leading swords in the United Podemos space that will not be on the 23-J lists.
