Yolanda Díaz tries to calm the nerves with Sumar and assumes the "challenge" of uniting the left

Yolanda Díaz has reappeared this Wednesday in Madrid after the left-wing crash in the municipal and regional elections to send a message of tranquility and to try to calm the nerves that exist between the parties and the voters of the space around Sumar. The Vice President of the Government has stressed that she is aware of the situation that exists and that she assumes the “challenge” of the moment to unite the alternative left of the PSOE in its candidacy to face the general elections.

In her first public appearance after the 28-M elections, the Sumar leader made a very brief statement to the media in Madrid before entering the presentation of the book Losing grace, written by EL MUNDO journalists Pedro Simón and Antonio Lucas and by Javier Gómez Santander and Eduardo Madina. It took just 30 seconds to realize that he is taking charge of the challenge that lies ahead: “Spain is waiting for us.”

“I know there are a lot of Democrats and a lot of progressive people who are discouraged and worried in our country today.. I am sending you a clear message of hope and confidence: I am taking on the challenge and we are going out to win this country,” Díaz said, trying to raise the spirits of the electorate and dispel the uncertainty that exists about the unity of space.

He has not wanted to say a word about the elections or the state of the negotiations that have been opened between Sumar and fifteen political parties in recent days to finish off his inclusion in a joint candidacy that infuses the left with votes and optimism to face the elections of July 23 with guarantees.

One of those parties is Podemos, with which relations less than a week ago were very cold and strained.. However, the magnitude of the electoral slap has been such for the entire political space that neither of them has any other option than to agree. And it is that, one of the consequences of the electoral advance is that Pedro Sánchez has forced both to declare a truce, stop the war and seek an express pact that saves the candidacy and, with this, try to also maintain the coalition government with the PSOE.
