United Left (IU), Comuns, Más Madrid and Movimiento Sumar (MS). The objective of the meeting was theoretically to present their still nebulous alliance for the elections scheduled for 2027, but it has ended up becoming an act to claim themselves as the “clean left”, as opposed to a PSOE and which they have asked not to be paralyzed. Hence, Pedro Sánchez’s partners ask him to move and give explanations. “Is there a plot? It is answered with laws, measures and exemplarity,” summarized the IU coordinator, Antonio Maíllo. Sumar puts housing at the center of that response.
The ladder in the Catalan capital of One step forward has managed to fill the 350 seats in the ONCE Building auditorium. Several people have even had to follow the event from a screen and chairs outside the venue. It has followed and the rally held in the Andalusian pre-campaign in Seville. Few details about the project – such as the name or how to choose its candidate – but a shot of optimism in a horrible week for the Spanish left.
“We have to tell the truth. It is evident that there is an attack on the Government, but the “said the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, who closed the interventions. “Corruption does very harm to democracy, because while [salen esos escándalos] There are people who don’t make ends meet. But here there is a clean political space, which addresses the needs of the people,” added the visible head of the Comuns in the Government.
His intervention, like that of the ministers Mónica García and , or that of Maíllo and Lara Hernández (MS), has revolved around establishing himself as that clean left that will not let the coalition Executive fall so as not to “leave the people behind.” Of course, everyone has also insisted that it is not a blank check and they have put duties on Sánchez.
“The information is serious and deserves concrete actions. It is persecution, but responsibilities must be assumed. We ask that your headquarters in Ferraz not be a burden for the progressive majority of this country,” said Urtasun.
An idea that Maíllo has also focused his speech on, landing in Barcelona after revalidating, although losing the hegemony of his space against Adelante Andalucía. “It is not just about saying that there is a plot against the Government. It is about responding. And it is answered with laws, measures and exemplarity,” he assured.
“The Socialist Party has to explain why it has had . And it will have to explain why a former president who can live very well with the compensation that the State gives him to dignify his life after serving in office is dedicated to who knows what and to pay thousands of euros in bills,” added the Andalusian deputy. Hernández has also put the PSOE under the magnifying glass: “So that corruption does not enter the house, you have to keep it clean and orderly. And you have to know why you have come: whether to defend your personal interest or the general one,” he concluded.
Both the Minister of Health, Mónica García, and her counterpart for Social Rights and Consumer Affairs, Pablo Bustinduy, have outlined that list of duties that they believe the coalition Executive should promote in full “offensive.” “In the face of the refrain that there is nothing to do, that we must abandon, quite the opposite. Greater determination than ever: housing decree and benefits against child poverty,” said the minister. Sumar has always insisted that he will try to recover the royal decree that included the extension of rents and that did not pass the parliamentary validation screen last April. However, . García, for his part, has joked about how the hantavirus crisis would have been managed with the right in La Moncloa.
Among the audience were the geographer Jordi Borja, the leader of the Comuns in the Parliament, Jéssica Albiach, the MEP Jaume Asens and the former mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau. The latter has been mentioned by Gerardo Pisarello, mayor for the Comuns in Barcelona, who has launched a dart against the Government and its constant reference to the lawfare: “Where was the Socialist Party when they were roasting Barcelona en Comú and the independentists with complaints?” Esquerra Republicana, which rejects any sum at the state level with the alternative left, sent a representative to the event: Adrià Guevara, secretary of international relations of the party.
