The candidate for Podemos Asturias challenges the 'empty' of Belarra to save her candidacy

Fed up with the vacuum to which the national leadership of Podemos is submitting her, the candidate in Asturias, Cova Tomé, will appear this Saturday in Zaragoza at the Spring Festival organized by the formation to force a meeting with Ione Belarra, since she does not attends to your requests to speak. Tomé is not among the participants in the act, but even so, he will go in person to try to hold a meeting with the general secretary to guarantee that he will safeguard both his candidacy and that of the team that won the primaries held in autumn.

And it is that, Tomé denounced just 10 days ago that the leadership of her party is maneuvering against her to separate her as a candidate. To achieve this, he said, he has opened an investigation for alleged workplace harassment after a complaint. Official sources from Podemos confirmed that this case is being addressed, but they assure that it is not an expulsion file. However, this investigation may lead to measures that ultimately imply her disqualification as a candidate.

The crisis of Podemos in Asturias goes back a long time. But it has reached an untenable point after the critical sector defeated the official list with votes and won the regional candidacy. Since then, Tomé has been ignored in all the party events where the candidates have gone and silenced on the networks and broadcast channels. In addition, the management has acted against numbers two and four on its list. As well as against people you trust.

«I will go to Zaragoza to try to meet with Belarra. It has been impossible to set a previous date,” Tomé said in a message on Twitter.. The Podemos candidate will call on Belarra to “respect” the primaries “and the four elected candidates” and will demand “an end to files that try to overturn the popular will.”
