Yolanda Díaz says that the debate "will be a face to face of zascas between two men who look to the past"

The leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, has been very critical of the debate that the PSOE and PP candidates, Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will lead this Monday. "It will be a face to face of zascas between two men of the bipartisanship that look to the past", she has indicated.

What's more, he has remarked that politics is something much more "serious" than the confrontation between Sánchez and Feijóo, which is going to "contribute very little to the country", to recriminate that "useful politics" is not present, the "diverse" Spain and plural" and the improvement of "women's lives" defended by Sumar.

On the other hand, Yolanda Díaz has accused the leader of the PP of "lying" about the discontinuous landlines to criticize the good employment figures and also, echoing a recent interview, by proclaiming that fewer hours are worked in Spain when the statistics reveal that for the first time the country reaches 600 million effective working hours.

In fact, she has challenged Feijóo to "rectify", debate with her about labor matters and leave her "cantinela" because she reveals that "she does not know anything" and it is an "absolute shame" in someone who aspires to reach La Moncloa to preside over the country.

This has been conveyed in a campaign event this Sunday in Seville together with the candidates of the confluence of the left for this constituency Fernando Sierra (Sumar), Engracia Rivera (IU) and Isabel Franco (Podemos).

During his speech, Díaz criticized the debate that Sánchez and Feijóo will lead, which is more typical of the 90s and "does not look at the Spain of the future and wants more rights", better wages and a reduction in working hours, employees without job insecurity and greater public health, fields where the main programmatic proposals of Sumar pivot precisely.

Thus, she has cited an article by the singer Santiago Auseron to ask herself if this debate is a sample of "dirty politics", to answer to herself that she does not know, but that she is clear that it is not useful to the public. "Of course, I think that this debate between two men who look to the past does not represent our country," he emphasized, insisting that the victory and comeback of the progressive block depends on the decisive vote for Sumar.

On the other hand, he has insisted on his attacks on Feijóo to oppose that the popular leader clearly defends the electric companies, given that even these companies ask for his vote, while Sumar is with the social majority, determined to lower the utility bill. light, a public agency in the sector and to cut up the activity of the companies to end the current oligopoly.

Likewise, Díaz has attacked Feijóo's statements in an interview in El Periódico de España for "having no idea" about the statistics of hours worked in the country, which have increased compared to 2019, and the data on discontinuous landlines, about those who "do not know what to do" and confuses their situation with the field of periods of inactivity.

For this reason, and paraphrasing Feijóo himself, who stated that lying in politics was something very serious, he has asked that he stop doing so about employment data and discontinuous fixed, because his position implies accusing, for example, his party mate and president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, to falsify data, since it is the autonomous communities that provide it.

"Does your alternative happen in Andalusia to have seasonal activities as before the labor reform with disposable contracts? This is the model that Mr. Feijóo wants for Andalusia, I already tell him no," he has deepened.

Then, he has warned that the PP in tax matters says "few things" but one of them is that it is going to abolish the tax on great fortunes, which taxes assets of more than 3 million euros.

"They have things clear," Sumar's candidate ironized to demand that Feijóo not count "milongas" about lowering the personal income tax for people with incomes of up to 40,000 euros a year, replying that it was the coalition government who it has done so for incomes of less than 21,000 euros, which has benefited 10 million workers.

Yolanda Díaz has even demanded support so that the "gentlemen who do not pay for inheritances", alluding to the inheritance tax, pay the taxes that correspond to them in order to promote the universal inheritance of 20,000 euros that Sumar proposes, with the aim of help young people to train or undertake.

In turn, Díaz has also confronted the PSOE, as he has been doing since the beginning of the campaign, remarking that his political space defended and promoted the cap on gas that managed to lower the electricity bill and that "from within the Government" they were told that it could not be done and that Europe did not allow it, something that was later shown not to be true with the consolidation of the so-called 'Iberian exception'.

"It is true that it has been very difficult for us to get things out of the Government, it has taken us nine months to raise the interprofessional minimum wage and it was not the employer who was preventing it, they were our partner", he has made the socialists ugly, whom he also warns that Sumar It is not going to allow the country's retirement age to be extended despite the fact that the PSOE sees it as good to open that debate.

After requesting the vote with "greatness" and "illusion" to Sumar in Andalusia for the people whom the PSOE has disappointed for many years, just as the PP now does, which also allies at the national level with the "ultras" of Vox who want to end the autonomies, the second vice president has claimed that her candidacy is "reliable" because they fulfill what they promise in a "quiet" way.

Finally, in relation to his service record, he has once again cited the labor reform, the improvements in the conditions for domestic workers, promising for the next legislature to reform and improve the conditions of workers in cases of dismissal.
