  • Changes: Pablo Iglesias and Irene Monterio: The rise of the leaders of Unidas Podemos

"We are going to look from you to you to the media sewer." This declaration of intent belongs to Dina Bousselham (30), director of La Última Hora , a recently created medium close to Unidas Podemos. Dina grew up in Podemos, specifically in the vicinity of the dome, since she was an advisor and personal friend of Pablo Iglesias. Before assuming this new role, she was a member of the Community of Madrid manager.

The vice president did not hesitate to endorse the birth of the media son on social networks: "Dina has always been an example of courage, commitment and rigorous work. The sewer attacked her for that reason. We will miss you greatly in Podemos . I am convinced that that you and your team will make The Last Hour an informative reference. " The impartiality of the media after this tweet is questioned, even for those who were part of the purple project , such as Ramón Espinar. "It was always a live debate whether to fight evil you have to use it. Using poisoning websites from parties in the government is not only an aberrant practice on the Right. The (constitutional) role of the media is much more serious than that . What a pity he gives everything , " he said.

He is not the only one who is upset with The Last Hour. "Within the party they do not see this initiative well. Some have described it as a parish leaf. Others point out that it is because Dina was dissatisfied with the idea of ​​not having a position, of being left with nothing," says Luca Costantini, Author of Here I Command: Intimate History of Podemos (The Sphere of Books), a leading book to understand the ins and outs of the purple party.

If you look at Dina's career, it is logical that she wants to be on the front line of the project, since she held positions of great relevance in the past. First, he met Iglesias at the University, where he was his teacher. At the age of 24 she became his right-hand man in Brussels as an adviser, a position that Lilith Verstrynge (27) now holds in the vice-presidency. There their close friendship took hold. In addition, Dina is key in the investigation of the Villarejo case involving Pablo Iglesias. In 2015, they allegedly stole Dina's mobile memory card and sent it to the Interviú newsroom . Subsequently, the content of said card was found in the registry carried out at the home of Commissioner Villarejo after his arrest in November 2017. A copy of the card reached the hands of Iglesias, who apparently returned it to Bousselham in poor condition. . In Dina's first statement, she pointed out that there were personal photos on that card. Asked about her relationship with Iglesias, she said: "They wanted to link me as their partner to harm him." Dina will testify again in the Villarejo case on Monday, May 18.

As for the financing of the medium, on their website they point out that they do not receive advertising revenue. Although it is not determined whether they accept grants. "The militants are being invited to join the project with financial contributions," says Costantini. Would it be something like running the brush between your parish? At the moment, the media is not being very well received in public or media opinion. Media historically related to the purple formation are upset at the launch of La Última Hora. Some Fourth Power journalists expressed their discontent on Twitter and were even retweeted by members of Podemos.

In addition to all these suspicions, one more lace is added. The Balearic newspaper Ultima Hora announced last Wednesday that it has initiated legal actions to "immediately cease" the activity of the website La Última Hora "due to usurpation of the brand and unfair competition." In addition to all this, the information is not signed, which reduces the professionalism of the website. Among the columnists is Nega, rapper of the Chikos del Maíz, very close to Pablo Iglesias.
