The spokesman for Unidas Podemos, Pablo Echenique, said goodbye to the Congress of Deputies this Wednesday and will request his reinstatement in the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) in a few days.
This has been transferred during his speech in the Permanent Deputation of the Lower House, in which he has defended the work of the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, and has been proud of having said some "truths" and of "making noise". , given that it is the only way to "listen to those below".
"Today is my last intervention and my trip ends here. In a few days, I will request to return to active service at the CSIC to continue my work as a scientist," said Echenique, who, like Montero, does not repeat on the electoral lists of Sumar and criticized weeks ago having suffered an indirect veto by the candidacy headed by Yolanda Díaz for not appearing on the list for Zaragoza.
He has also denounced that it is a "shame" that Congress had a parliamentary spokesperson in a wheelchair and that a clear message has not been sent to society to adapt the Chamber to people with disabilities, so that they could occupy their seat with the rest of the bench of his group as he has repeatedly demanded.
On the other hand, it has claimed several legislative measures during the legislature and that bear the seal of United We Can, such as the Euthanasia Law, the "historic" increase in the minimum wage, the deployment of the Minimum Vital Income, the Animal Welfare Law or the living place.
And specifically, he has praised the head of Equality, for deploying a "new and brave" wave of feminist rights such as the Trans-LGTBi regulations, the abortion reform and the Law 'only if it is yes', despite being "attacked by the judicial and media right" and "partially mutilated" by the agreement between the PP and PSOE to reform it.
