In an unexpected script turn, Podemos has launched this Sunday to Irene Montero to the race to lead a candidacy for the generals on the left. A week after completing its V Citizen Assembly, the current general secretary of the training and candidate for re -election, Ione Belarra, has asked the former Minister of Equality to work at the forefront of a future list in 2027 “that is not just about Podemos”, and that it plays the hand to the “organized civil society” and those “disenchanted” with the government. “I know it is asking you a lot, but only a brave, patriot woman, will do what is needed (…) so that Spain will have a left of power and government again,” the deputy has also claimed.
In an act under the title, “for peace and against the war regime”, in which Montero has had all the prominence by intervening lastly, Belarra has criticized that the government is betting on the “rearme.”
“Fascism feeds on resignation, melmenorism, and also of progress. If people rest, they will try to survive with the rules of the west world: cruelty, injustice and hate,” Montero proclaimed. “What is the progress for the right?” “Spain needs left, no popular party. Spain needs feminist, peace, not pacts with the PP,” he said.
In a rally in which Belén Haboob has also intervened, an activist for the rights of the Palestinian people, former Jemad Julio Rodríguez, part of the candidacy of Belarra, has criticized the war drift of the EU. “War is the failure of politics and putting all the eggs in the basket of the war is to recognize that everything else has failed,” he said. Rodríguez has also recognized that “as a military” that he feels “more antimilitarist.” “And there is no contradiction in that,” he said.
