Pablo Iglesias rules out that Nadia Calviño is vice president in a PSOE-Podemos pact

Pablo Iglesias is immersed in a final campaign sprint with plurinational wink. The leader of Podemos visits between this Wednesday and Thursday Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao. All places where the purple people want to exploit their decentralizing approach, of more self-government, their plurinational vision of Spain, to oppose it to a PSOE, PP and Cs that focus their discourse on the measures to be applied in Catalonia. In recent days, Iglesias redoubled his efforts to capture leftist voters disenchanted with the management and attitude of Pedro Sánchez, while contemplating the proposal of Nadia Calviño as future economic vice president - one of the great announcements of Sánchez in the debate- as an obstacle for a hypothetical PSOE-Podemos agreement.

We can strive to place Pedro Sánchez in the same pack as Pablo Casado and Albert Rivera, identify the PSOE with the rights policies. They believe that it can make them fish in the leftist niche annoying with the socialist candidate, recover the useful vote that in April went massively to the PSOE. To do this, they soften Sánchez's proposal to promote Minister Calviño as vice president as an example of that constant wink of the Socialists to want to agree with the PP, to form a "soft coalition", which he calls Iglesias: investiture pact - observance of the PP- and agreements for Catalonia and economic measures and Government of Sánchez.

"If you bet on Calviño it goes in the direction of seeking the agreement with Casado and it has saddened the people of the PSOE. Calviño is going to scare the people of the left," Iglesias assured in an interview in the Being, adding to the criticism of all the leaders of Podemos to the bet of Sánchez. Moreover, the purple leader does not contemplate that he can be economic vice president in the event of a PSOE-Podemos agreement.

"Calviño's model as vice president is only viable with a soft coalition with the PP. In an agreement with us I think that other people who are more left-wing would have a leading role," Iglesias said. The favorite minister of Podemos is María Jesús Montero. She is her favorite interlocutor and with whom they have a greater feeling. It is with whom they understand better and with whom the agreements are forged. Your mediator in the Government. "With Montero we understand each other well, she is a progressive lady," confirms Iglesias. "That Calviño wins the battle indicates that Sanchez wants the PP. But if we are strong, maybe he has no choice but to make an agreement on the left."

Iglesias, therefore, does not contemplate that if an increasingly difficult PSOE-Podemos Calviño pact is forged, he will occupy the economic vice-presidency announced by Sánchez, although, for the moment, he discards putting a veto on him. "We will never put a veto, we have no right to the PSOE to tell who it puts, in the same way that we are not going to accept any veto."

The purples argue that Calviño is the one who has imposed on the Government the so-called Austrian backpack, against the criteria of the ministers Montero and Valerio, according to the version of Podemos and it was who, as he published this newspaper, knocked the pact between Ábalos and them to limit The price of rentals. "There has been discussion in the Government between ministers, some supporters of the Austrian backpack and others who wanted leftist policies. Pointing to Calviño is a nod to European economic powers for the PSOE to agree with the PP," says Iglesias .

"She is going to oppose in a frontal way that we are in the Government", summarizes yesterday Rafael Mayoral, who defines her as the "Margaret Thatcher of the Government". "He is considering ending severance pay and opening the possibility of capitalization of pensions." For Pablo Echenique, Sanchez's commitment to Calviño reveals his intentions of "guaranteeing that the next crisis will be paid by those from below and the privileges of those above will be shielded," in allusion to businessmen and bankers. Nacho Álvarez, economic manager of Podemos, believes that with Calviño "Pedro Sánchez's project begins to restore social-liberalism and economic orthodoxy, renouncing the re-establishment of social democracy. The PSOE turns its gaze to the right." Álvarez and Calviño do not even know each other, a test of the economic distance between both formations.

Calviño and Sánchez's silences on whether he discards any agreement with the PP lead to Podemos to a conclusion: "Sánchez has made a decision: to seek an alliance with the right." And they will exploit these days to be the guardians of the progressive essence.
