Politics.Pablo Iglesias despises the police investigation in the 'Neurona case' and says that in Podemos there is "not even half a bad account"
Change in the Government The PSOE dismisses Pablo Iglesias, highlighting the deficit of his management in Social Affairs
Pablo Iglesias has symbolically closed his stage in the coalition government by handing over their portfolios to Yolanda Díaz and Ione Belarra, their successors at the head of the Third Vice Presidency and the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, in the usual institutional act that always takes place when there is a replacement in the Council of Ministers.
However, the representatives of United We Can have taken advantage of the stage to turn the ceremony into an act of promotion of Pablo Iglesias, candidate for the Community of Madrid, with the ministers lavishing praise on his figure and with the former vice president recovering his most critical speech against the "powerful minority".
To support Iglesias in their march and offer an image of unity, all the ministers of United We Can in the Government have been present: Irene Montero (Equality), Alberto Garzón (Consumption) and Manuel Castells (Universities).
On the other hand, it has been significant that on the part of the socialist branch of the Government only the Minister of Education, Isabel Celaá, has attended.
Nobody else.
The event, organized in the Ministry of Social Rights, has had Iglesias as the main protagonist, and at times it has seemed more like a tribute to him than a welcome to the new responsibilities of the ministers, due to the compendium of praise and applause for the leader of Podemos.
And this has a special symbolism for taking place in full facet already as a candidate of United We Can to the elections of the Community of Madrid on May 4.
"Faced with noise and fury and against all odds, and far above suspicions and manipulations, Pablo promoted the articulation of a social shield of rights that is an example for European democracies and for the future and dignity of this country" , highlighted the third vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz.

Belarra has been the one who extended the most to praise him.
"If someone has been made difficult to be vice president and minister, it has been, personally and politically, Pablo Iglesias. In return, our country has very few times had such an intellectually sitting man on the blue bench extraordinary, politically very capable and with democratic principles deeply rooted in ethics ".
For the new minister, the most relevant thing is that "neither in the most arduous moments nor in the most difficult has she forgotten who we are, where we come from and what interests we are defending."
Some "qualities" that, in addition to "admiring", he has said have earned him "the hatred of those who poison the people and those who steal from them."
"That has been your greatest honor, and it will continue to be."
Belarra has presented the passage of Iglesias through the Government as very successful and has praised his contribution "essential" to "consolidate" a progressive majority in Congress, approve the Budgets and approve the increase in the minimum wage the "social shield" against evictions and the cut of supplies during the pandemic.
