Belarra demands that Díaz clarify if she wants to be the unit's candidate and questions the "personalist projects"

He defends the primaries and argues that without them Sánchez would not have led the PSOE again

MADRID, 4 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, has demanded this Tuesday that Vice President Yolanda Díaz clarify if her intention is to stand in the general elections as the candidate of the "unity" together with Podemos and has assured that the " personalist projects" do not respond "well" to what the citizens want.

"I strongly believe in collective debates and that the collective is what gives us strength, that's why we have proposed primaries, because personalist projects do not respond well later, it was already seen with (Manuela) Carmena, what the citizens want" , has sustained in an interview with RNE, collected by Europa Press.

This is how Belarra has pronounced himself two days after the act of presenting Díaz's candidacy for the general elections and to the question of whether the State Citizen Council that Podemos held last Saturday discussed whether the purples would attend the launch of Sumar, which Finally, they did not attend because they had not signed in writing that there are primaries.

"It is easy for a single person to disconnect from the bases, to disconnect from the citizenry," stressed the leader of Podemos, who stressed that if the coalition government between PSOE and Unidas Podemos takes place since 2020 "it has a lot to do with as long as there were primaries in the Socialist Party and that the bases won the game over the apparatus and Pedro Sánchez could once again be secretary general".

Belarra has expressed that the agreement is still possible, although he has said that he is concerned that Díaz affirms that it would not be a failure not to appear together at the polls, because "it would be."

Having said this, he has defended that Podemos has to have a "relevant and leading" role in the next legislature and for this he has considered it "essential" that primaries be held when forming the lists for the general elections.

And he recalled that his party "wants" Díaz to be the candidate, calling on his partner in the Council of Ministers to "clarify" if his will is to be in a space of "unity." "The ball is in her court," she has indicated.
