The second vice president is committed to intervening in the prices of the shopping basket and housing

The second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, affirmed this Saturday in Zaragoza that the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, "is kidnapped by the extreme right" and "has a problem with democracy", warning that in Spain "all decisions are reviewable.

In his speech at an act of Sumar, a formation he leads, Díaz has criticized that the PP and Vox have asked the Senate Board not to allow the vote on the reform of the crime of sedition and other issues already initially approved by the Congress of the Deputies. "Feijóo asks that we not let senators and senators vote," Díaz complained.

He added that Feijóo "does not like people to vote, that they can decide for themselves" and "has gone too far", stressing that in Spain "all decisions are examinable". He has criticized that Feijóo "does not even dare to vote against Vox's motion of no confidence" against the Prime Minister. He has also said that Feijóo "does not like" the increase in the minimum interprofessional salary or pensions.

Likewise, Yolanda Díaz has called attention to the latest debates in the Congress of Deputies, "a real embarrassment", addressing the audience to say: "It does not represent you, the real country is you", adding that "useful politics does not dwells on too many debates and acts to improve people's lives.

He has asked if Feijóo is going to accept "any government that comes out of the polls voted for by the people that does not bear the initials of the PP, if he understands that when we vote we do it freely, if he is going to accept a government that does not have the name of the PP ".

"Democracy needs calm, calm leaders", continued Yolanda Díaz, who asked the audience to act "with a cool head: No insults or shouting", arguing that democracy "is not a matter of two, it is respecting the institutions, which are not from the Government of Spain, nor from the Government of Aragon, belong to the people and we have the obligation to care for and respect them".

Yolanda Díaz has said, on the other hand, that "many people have a hard time and the obligation must be to walk together, understand the public thing in a different way; this is what democracy is about", arguing that politics has moved away "from everyone". .

He has warned of the "black holes" in the poorest neighbourhoods, where "people do not vote because they do not feel represented and that nobody cares for them" because "the rich do not need to vote, they have everything, but the humble need to be part of the democratic process".

Díaz has asserted that "there is no more powerful democratic force than feminism" and has opted for dialogue among feminists to "walk together, add up" since "a feminist democracy goes far beyond quotas and we need them to stop us from to attack, to collect different wages; we are mistreated and violated, I ask you to join".

COUNTRY PROJECT

The leader of Sumar has highlighted "the need for a new country project" so that it is "sustainable and ecological", urging to reform the production model and base the energy system on "democratic reasons", not based on large oligopolies, but in self-consumption and "with the world of work inside", also with the unions, since he has considered that the energy and labor crises are the same: "It is not by chance that the extreme right disputes with the unions in our country" , warning that "the party of hate" is also in other countries, setting the example of the United States.

In addition, "there is no country that can add up without women, not only because we are half the population, but because of the talent, joy, tenderness and the different way that we women do things; it would be a huge wrong to deprive ourselves of them". She has made it clear that "the struggle of women and LGTBI groups are unstoppable."

Yolanda Díaz has described inflation as "unbearable" and has stated: "Where we have intervened in energy, we have been able not to contain prices, but to lower them; we have shown that it could be done, but there are still things to be done, where we do not intervene things are going wrong and we are not intervening in the shopping cart and housing", considering that "without acting in these two fields we are not going to improve people's lives".

"I have been working since the summer to guarantee that the shopping basket is healthy for families and we have to act on the business margins of the distribution multinationals, which are lining up in our country. This crisis is about this, who pays the crisis".

He has criticized Feijóo because "he always fixes it by lowering taxes" and has refused to lower VAT because "it only benefits one part, the large distributors, who will only widen their business margins", compared to what he has defended "guaranteeing decent food for everyone's families, who can eat fish and fruit; VAT will not go down".

Yolanda Díaz has also expressed that access to housing is "a huge problem" throughout Spain because "the Euribor makes a dignified life impossible", before which she has opted to freeze mortgage payments and roll them back to June, at who has added that "it is impossible, in many cities, to face a rent and yes, we want to limit and extend leases to 2 percent, we want action to be taken in new contracts", rejecting contractual renewals at 20, 30 and 40 percent.

He has proposed increasing the subsidy on the price of public transport tickets from 30 to 50 percent, a "basic measure for the most social, effective, ecological and sustainable" and has supported checks for 300 euros per month for up to 10 million households. because "inflation hits hardest those who have less".

A minute of silence was observed at the ceremony, with music by José Antonio Labordeta, in memory of the professor at the University of Zaragoza and founder of Andalán, Eloy Fernández Clemente, who died in recent hours. Representatives of the trade union, environmentalist, neighborhood and feminist movements have briefly intervened.
