Yolanda Díaz

, Second Vice President of the Government and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, has provoked a lively debate on social networks after proposing

"work on the concept motherland" considering that the concept of homeland "has a heavy burden."

"The motherland is something that cares for, that treats all parties equally, that does not discriminate against anyone because they speak a certain language based on something that builds myself, which is dialogue," she said this Friday during her participation in a talk at the Black Week in Gijón.

Since he slipped his approach, Twitter has been divided between those who are stupefied and those who defend the concept and remember that it is a neologism that

already used

Díaz's proposal has made

Toni Cantó

,

Marcos de Quinto

,

Jorge Espinosa de los Monteros

or

Fernando Sánchez Dragó

react on Twitter in a negative sense

, who have shown their disagreement with the words of the minister.

"We lead all unemployment rates in the European Union. And Yolanda Díaz, the Minister of Labor, worrying about what is important. Abandon the Homeland concept and work on the 'Matria' concept", reflected the newly appointed director of the Office of the Spanish of the Community of Madrid.

"Homeland is heritage, Minister, and it is not related to patriarchy. What you want is not a motherland, but a motherland," Sánchez Dragó wrote.

"You will see when you hear the expression" mother country "for the first time in your life, Espinosa de los Monteros pointed out.

De Quinto has spoken with the same acidity: "I think that this 'neo-left-cuñáo (sic)' the concept that hits the most is not 'motherland' instead of country ... but 'cuñatria' !!

Far from putting distance with her statements last Friday, Yolanda Díaz has reaffirmed herself today on the social network.

"I want a project of democratic coexistence for my country. A plural Spain that resembles its people. A motherland that cares, that gives more to those who have less and puts public services at the center," he concluded.

There have also been the reactions of those who do support the words of the second vice president of the Government.

"Dear hyperventilated and hyperventilated ... Stop scratching the wounds and read a little more. You will discover that the concept" motherland "was already in the literature since the time of Virginia Woolf. Good Saturday," the journalist Gemma Soriano tweeted.

"We have been remembering for a long time that we need a motherland. The homeland (from" heritage ", the goods linked to the pater families) claims the virility of the patriarchy. The homeland leads you to war, makes you parade. The motherland takes care of you and makes you responsible. Yolanda Díaz is right ", has written Juan Carlos Monedero.
