Margarita Robles continues to confront Pablo Iglesias, sometimes in a very obvious way, with direct replies to the positions of United We Can, others in a more veiled way.

Today he has opted for this second option in an act called "Thanks to the protagonists of our recent history", held at the Center for Higher Studies of National Defense, which has been a vindication of the Spanish Transition, so reviled by the training morada, and three of its great protagonists: Adolfo Suárez, Gutiérrez Mellado and Santiago Carrillo.

In her words about the latter, the Defense Minister has made a reflection that seems dedicated to Iglesias.

In his opinion, Carrillo represents a left that knew how to understand "that a country is not built from disqualification, intolerance and believing itself superior to others."

But he knows, he added, that "sometimes you have to have the humility to recognize that the adversary also does it well" and a "joint" work of all Spaniards is necessary.

We are "heirs" of the actions of other people, "he said about the three honorees, and" whoever forgets history makes mistakes and lacks generosity. "" None of us have invented anything. "For Robles, both Suárez and Gutiérrez Mellado and the leader of the PCE, who remained standing in Tejero's assault on the Congress of Deputies in 23-F, which has now been 40 years old, represent "our dignity and courage." "They were brave and had principles," he said. But they also acted "for institutional reasons, because they were representing the Government of Spain (in the case of the two leaders of the UCD, then president and vice president).

The absence of an institutional position, even while in the Executive, and the defense that it is thanks to them that certain decisions are made in social matters are some of the reproaches that the socialist wing reproaches to United We Can.

The minister has also stood out for the recognition of the figure of Suárez, whom the PP and Ciudadanos have tried to patrimonialize in recent years, at a time when his more moderate role and his winks are being criticized within the cabinet to the orbit of the center right.
