Irene Montero breaks her silence to respond to Echenique after denouncing that he was also vetoed by Sumar

Irene Montero, the great loser after the coalition agreement signed between Podemos and Sumar, remained silent until this Sunday after her disappearance from the electoral lists, which the purples carry entirely on the shoulders of Yolanda Díaz. The Minister for Equality, usually active on her social networks, has broken her silence by responding to Pablo Echenique, who earlier today denounced on social networks that he had also been a victim of the “explicit vetoes” imposed from Sumar.

“Boss, I love you very much,” Montero responded to the statement from the Podemos spokesman, who was upset by his exclusion despite defending unity as a political objective. “The negotiating team made it clear from day one that it was absolutely impossible for Podemos to top the list for Zaragoza,” denounced Echenique.. And that was, he says, the “only” place he could fit in.

Harder was Pablo Iglesias, who published an article this weekend in which he pointed out Yolanda Díaz as the “final executor” of a “violent” campaign to end Irene Montero “orchestrated from the most sinister devices of the media right, judicial and political. “I hope Yolanda listens to those who are telling her to rectify,” Iglesias launched, delving into Podemos's thesis that until June 19 the electoral lists can be changed.

Against this desire, which the party uses as a battering ram for public pressure, weighs the agreement signed between the 16 formations that are part of Sumar and that has already established the starting positions in each constituency and the names that will occupy them.

Despite this, the public profile of the Podemos charges anticipates at least seven more days of war, in a context in which polls, such as the one published yesterday by EL MUNDO, already detect that the PSOE is capitalizing on the battles to its left. It wins four seats in one week, while Sumar falls more than 1.5 points in seven days.

The clauses designed by Yolanda Díaz's team threaten Podemos with withdrawing 23% of the coalition's economic resources, which belong to it, in the event of a future split in Congress. And they establish that it will be Sumar who controls the campaign.

But at the moment they have no effect on the criticism that accumulates from the positions of Podemos and its environment, such as the media promoted by Iglesias, Canal Red, which this Sunday published an opinion article that described Sumar as a “domesticated left” that has agreed to a “veto on feminism.”
