Díaz warns Sánchez that he will not agree to raise the retirement age: "It is a red line"

MADRID, 19 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sumar's candidate, Yolanda Díaz, has warned the PSOE leader, Pedro Sánchez that he will not accept raising the retirement age and that it is a "red line" for his formation.

This was stated during the three-way debate that is being held this Wednesday on RTVE, in which the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, also participates.

In one of the few questions that Díaz has made to Sánchez, since up to now both have focused on launching messages against Abascal, he has expressed that warning with a view to a possible coalition government for the next legislature that reissues the current one.

Díaz, who is currently second vice president and Minister of Labor of the Government of Sánchez, has indicated that they are going to defend the pensions but immediately afterwards has indicated: "They know that we have a red line, the retirement age is not going to be extended".

Throughout the campaign, Sánchez has repeated that if they manage to govern it will be in coalition with the formation of Yolanda Díaz and that the citizens have to choose between this option or a PP Executive with Vox.

Previously, Sánchez has reproached Abascal for having opposed, along with the PP, the measures carried out by the Government, including the pension reform, throughout the legislature. "Now they brazenly say that they have supported the revaluation of pensions, but it is not true, it is a true lie," he launched.

Thus, he pointed out that in these elections it is necessary to choose between his Government that has worked "day and night" to protect the people or they agree with those who "the only thing they have done has been to destroy and now lie."
