Podemos Juan Carlos Monedero: "Canal Red has to de-podemize and Podemos has to de-channel"
Pablo Iglesias has purged Juan Carlos Monedero from his television and canceled his program two weeks after giving an interview in EL MUNDO in which, in line with the tenth anniversary of Podemos, the co-founder of the
purple
party criticized the drift of Canal Red for serve as a "party organ" that, among other things, "turns into suspicion" anyone who does not share "100%" of its speech.
"Canal Red has to be de-podemized and Podemos has to be de-channelized," he said.
Iglesias' retaliation against Monedero comes two days after the former general secretary of Podemos has lambasted Sergio Gregori, who was one of the star presenters at the launch of the channel and who had been removed from the front line for some time for expressing opinions. prone to understanding between Podemos and Sumar.
Thus, after the divergent opinions expressed by Monedero and Gregori, Iglesias' decision has been implacable and has undermined both of their programs.
The purge of Monedero has been communicated by the affected person himself on the social network X, where the former leader of Podemos has reported the end of the broadcasts of his program.
"Those responsible for the channel want to reinforce their ideological line and it is evident that my disobedient Lennon glasses blur that objective," he said.
Monedero explained that he had had a conversation with Iglesias, in which they addressed "achievements, friendship, disagreements."
"No one can deny the siege of Podemos and Canal Red's will to close ranks in the face of the siege is evident. I don't think it is the most effective, but I understand it. The field of struggle is vast, I remain convinced of unity - without naiveties - and we will find ourselves, like the rebels, on one of the roads. The enemies are in other places," he said.
