United We can have started the Madrid electoral campaign this Sunday in the Nelson Mandela square in Lavapiés, where the

purple

candidate

, Pablo Iglesias, has demanded that his voters go to vote "with smiles" but "firmness" to avoid the triumph of the "right wing and the far right ".

The event was attended by the Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, and the Third Vice President of the Government and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, who have asked the electorate for "hope" in order to mobilize the vote on May 4. .

"Those of us who do not vote here are looking at you and we are asking you to go out en masse to vote," said Belarra, who called this campaign "decisive" and "definitive": "We are at stake a lot."

In this sense, the recently appointed Minister of Social Rights replacing Pablo Iglesias has called to believe and trust to end several decades of popular governments in Madrid: "They are going to tell us again that it is impossible," which is why he has asked his voters to recover the "hope" stolen by the political class during the last five years.

Shouting "president" by those present, Yolanda Díaz has taken the floor to ask for the

purple

mobilization

in these elections in favor of a candidate, Pablo Iglesias, whom she has considered "different" and a defender of palpable "diversity" in Madrid , whose "epicenter" is Lavapiés.

"I ask you for something clear: mobilize yourselves," claimed the Minister of Labor.

"You have to guarantee that United We can be strong" to be able to form a left-wing alternative in the Community of Madrid, has had an impact.

"We need to have many votes in Madrid to change people's lives," said the third vice president, who reflected on the fact that "springs are turbulent and times of change", but the sun always ends up rising, in reference to the new Government that they expect to leave the polls after May 4 in Madrid.

Export the "firmness" in the Government

The presence of Díaz and Belarra - in the same way that the Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, attended the last pre-campaign event in Alcalá de Henares this Saturday - responds to the intention of United We Can to export the "firmness" of the training in the coalition government to Madrid politics.

This is how Pablo Iglesias has expressed it in Lavapiés: "When it comes to making left policies, we are firm until the end."

The

purple

leader

has recalled as proof of this the Law of

Only Yes is Yes

or the recently approved Children's Law.

Also the Minimum Vital Income, which he has considered improvable, or the 7,000 million euro plan of aid for the hotel industry, in whose negotiation in the Government the Secretary of State for Social Rights, Nacho Álvarez, played a fundamental role.

"What is signed on paper with us is carried out", has settled Iglesias.

"We are a guarantee."

Prioritize in public

Iglesias has promised that if he reaches the Government of the Community of Madrid, he will prioritize in matters of Public Education or Health, considering that the pandemic has demonstrated the importance they play in the lives of citizens.

"The public, the common, is what protects us all", has opined Iglesias, something that, in his eyes, all Europe has understood during the crisis of the last year, except Madrid.

"They intend to continue navigating against history," he said.

For this reason, he has said that, "without nuances", and compared to private health, "the priority of the next Government of the Community of Madrid can only be public health", to which it has promised to invest 1,000 million euros more .

Similarly, he has proposed that the dentist be free.

"And of course, in the Community of Madrid it is necessary to carry out a tax reform to match it with what the Constitution says," Iglesias continued.

"It cannot be that the only ones making an effort are the self-employed, small businessmen and workers."

Criticizes Madrid's lack of "loyalty" during the pandemic

Pablo Iglesias has returned to consider, as he did this Saturday, that the Community of Madrid, governed by the PP, used its citizens in order to "bring down" or harm the central government.

"It is indecent that there are people who take advantage of the pandemic to bring down their political rivals," the

purple

candidate has detailed

.

Thus, Iglesias has considered that, as vice president of the Government, he never felt the "loyalty" on the part of the Madrid Executive when making decisions or measures during the coronavirus crisis.

"They used the people of Madrid as a bargaining chip to try to bring down the government," lamented the former vice president of the Executive.

"How was it possible that they said no to everything? How was it possible that they changed their discourse every week?" Iglesias has asked himself, who has criticized the Community "denying in the most vile way the orders they gave no. transfer of elderly people from residences to hospitals ".
