A year is enough time to know what it means to govern.

Unidos Podemos acceded to the

Council of Ministers

with little experience and has starred in an accelerated course, especially due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Knowing his minority position, and presenting himself as the target of "the dark and less confessable powers", Pablo Iglesias, second vice president of the Government, has asked the social movements to pressure the Government to stop those "pressures" which, he understands, above all They go to United We Can.

Iglesias has inaugurated the

Forum of Social Movements

, a meeting organized by his department and the purpose of which is to collect the contributions of civil society for the preparation of the Sustainable Development Strategy.

In this context, he has urged the movements to pressure.

It is not the first time that he does it, but it is the one who openly admits that it is something that Unidos Podemos needs as part of the Government.

Pressure, agitation, mobilization ... That dichotomy that traps the purple: wanting to have one foot on the carpet and the other in the street protest.

"It is a special moment when it comes to opening up the possibility of progressive and social justice, with the danger of a contrary direction, I believe that there is a very important part of society that needs you and needs you strong. And at least one part of the Government that needs you and needs you very strongly. "

The second vice president, who is going through a difficult time due to the open judicial fronts, has recounted an experience of government where the pressures, he has wielded, are great.

That is why his call to "civil society", of which Podemos seeks to become a spokesperson, to present it as a muscle against "media, economic power, the pressures by the correlations of the forces that govern, by power itself, by the dark and less confessable powers ... ".

Iglesias admits that all this "is part of politics, it has always been like that", but seeks a rebalancing in his favor, assuming that the powers that he reels do not play in favor of his party.

"Civil society and social movements must assume that their capacity for pressure is a condition for the possibility that governments can do certain things. We need you to pressure us, because if we only pressure the economic, media or deep powers, then the The result of this correlation of forces will be less favorable than what society needs, "said Iglesias.
