Díaz rejects that Sumar is a soup of acronyms and says about Podemos: The parties have to be, but they do not have to be

She affirms that whoever wants to run to lead Sumar can do it just like her and that the primaries are not the obstacle to agree

MADRID, 3 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, has rejected this Monday that Sumar, the project with which she aspires to be the first woman president of the Government, is going to be a soup of acronyms and has claimed that it is a "completely autonomous" citizen movement and " non-subordinate" of any other party and with which he seeks the vote of "the social majority" for the general elections.

Sumar "is a citizen movement and there will be no sum of acronyms at all, I think we have been clear" for "a long time", he stressed in an interview on TVE, collected by Europa Press.

After announcing her candidacy for the general elections yesterday, the also Minister of Labor has indicated that in Sumar, despite not wanting a "sum of acronyms", many political formations can be integrated, at the same time that she has said that she will not make noise nor fall into insults, but only propose political proposals.

"The parties have to be there, but they don't have to be", she highlighted when asked about how Podemos would fit into her project if the agreement were to take place, which until now has not materialized due to the discrepancies between the two organizations when it comes to defining how would the primaries be to choose the lists.

At this point, Díaz has rejected that what separates her from an agreement with Podemos are the primaries. "It is not true that we have differences around the primaries, from the beginning I have said so," he indicated, assuring that "it must be" Podemos who has to "explain" why on an "important and joyful day for Spain" They were not at Sumar's presentation ceremony.

Asked for the reason that makes this agreement with the purple party impossible, she has defended that from Sumar "nobody" has asked for conditions to attend yesterday's event, to which "everyone" was invited and who would have liked the leadership of Podemos At the same time, she has thanked the parties that were there for their presence.

And immediately afterwards she wanted to remember that when she was from Izquierda Unida and Podemos was launched, she went from Galicia to Madrid. "I tried until the last minute and my team more, but they have made the decision to stay out" of the act, she said, referring to the party led by the Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra.

For the second vice president, who was very excited about what she experienced on Sunday at the Antonio Magariños sports center in Madrid, the launch of Sumar has started a stage that is going to "change everything" in Spanish politics, adding that in the coming days he is going to present his country project "for the next decade", in which more than a thousand people have worked during the last half year.

And questioned about the legal formula that Sumar will have, if it will be a political party, a coalition or a group of voters, Díaz has avoided clarifying this point, since in his opinion it is an issue that does not matter to the public, who is concerned --has wielded-- to see his life improve.

Add "they are voluntary and voluntary, they are not political formations. And it seems to me that social changes, as always in history, are done by people. And I think it will add to this," he has highlighted.

He has also been questioned because he said that he rejects guardianships and if those words are addressed to Pablo Iglesias, something that Díaz has rejected, pointing out that it was actually a "message for Spanish society." "Women are free, I have said it on many occasions, and Sumar is a project that has become autonomous, it is not complementary to anyone, it is not subordinate to anyone," she pointed out to the question of whether it forms an electoral 'ticket' with President Pedro Sánchez since the motion of no confidence.

In addition, she has pointed out that whoever wants to run to lead Sumar "can do it the same" as her and has emphasized that the votes do not belong to the parties but to the citizens, when asked if she aspires to steal votes from the PSOE and if this It can cause a coalition government like the current one, which Díaz wants to reissue through cooperation with the Socialists, not to be repeated.

"What I am also very clear about is that the votes belong to the people, they do not belong to anyone. And when the political formations think that there are spaces that are their own, and I mean all of them, also from which I come, if someone thinks that I have this niche of mine and it does not move, it is not true. The votes are from the citizens, who are very smart and we must treat them with a lot of respect and sometimes they vote for one political party and sometimes for another," she argued, saying that she It is not in "futuribles".

"Sumar's 'ticket' is with the Spanish men and women. It is a completely autonomous project that is addressed to the social majority and that has a country project" that will provide measures for "each and every one of the sectors of our lives," he remarked.

Likewise, they have asked him about the last time he spoke with Iglesias, his predecessor as vice president, and he has assured that they did so in the month of January and they had a "very interesting" conversation about "the problems of Spain and the world", but He did not want to reveal more details. And he recalled that he was the first person to whom he advanced his idea of ​​creating Sumar to the former leader of Podemos.
