The former vice president of the Government and former leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, defends that the left "different from the PSOE" throughout the country must assume that the "alliance" with the socialists is necessary to prevent the possibility that PP and Vox can govern.

For this reason, it also underlines that these formations must increase their collaboration and share spaces for strategic reflection ", in addition to" exploring confederal ways for the reorganization of a shared State, more in line with the plurinationality and the will of the different peoples of the State. "

This is how Iglesias has transferred it to a platform in

Ctxt

, a medium for which he collaborates after leaving politics, to expose that the left must strengthen relations against the "reactionary project" that PP and Vox embody, in his opinion.

Iglesias' defense of the PSOE-United Podemos government coalition is similar to what was expressed by Vice President Yolanda Díaz last Friday after the pressure from Podemos to create a public energy company: "We must take care of the coalition and improve all the mechanisms of coexistence, "said Díaz, after acknowledging, however, the differences within the Executive on" the pace of application of measures "to contain the price of electricity.

Díaz also added his commitment to "build the great house of democracy" among the left parties because "almost all the people fit there."

"It is not so much about ideological positions, when it comes to problem solving. When we mix we become very big, people don't like us the same, the important thing is that we reach out," reports Servimedia.

Illustration of a pistol

Iglesias' article is illustrated with the image of a gun with the Vox and PP logos and the word 'press', which has generated criticism on Twitter, such as that of the PP spokesman in the Madrid Assembly, Alfonso Serrano, who he has called the image "disgusting" and "hatred".

"The article is another rubbish that contributes little. Rehash slogans. I don't know if the photo is the author's own crop or Ctxt initiative, but it is anything but journalism," says Serrano in a tweet.

In the article, Iglesias says that it is necessary to "assume that the government alliance with the PSOE is, at this juncture, necessary to protect democracy and implement social justice through public policies," to add that, although some of these political forces can "compete electorally", they should "agree on a common roadmap in the negotiation with the socialists."

Especially when reflecting that a state Executive based on the alliance between PP and Vox "is possible" now due to several factors, among which the "sinking" of Ciudadanos stands out, which "killed the dream of a third way to the Spanish and the unfeasibility of the grand coalition ".

"Beyond the greater or lesser credibility of the polls that say so, the fact that the right wing will compete next time with only two candidacies after the collapse of Ciudadanos makes it more feasible that this victory for the right and the far right will be produce, "Iglesias added.

"Democratic involution"

In his opinion, that hypothetical coalition between PP and Vox in an Executive risks a "democratic involution" and that autonomous educational competences are assumed from the state level, before which the "parties that defend plurinationality, the Catalan and Basque governments , the educational communities themselves, as well as broad citizen sectors, would have no choice but to oppose and mobilize. "

"And that would be precisely the terrain chosen by the PP-Vox government to increase tension and end up outlawing Bildu and the Catalan independentists," Iglesias stresses to slip that these measures "would have significant support in the dominant sectors of the judiciary, in many sectors of the economic power and in the media powers of Madrid ".

He also stresses that currently the "monarchy is only a political reference for the rights", compared to what happened with the "ill-fated father" of the monarch Felipe VI, Juan Carlos I, he knew how to "take care of his feeling" with the PSOE and was able to attract in the Transition even to the PCE of Santiago Carrillo.

"A monarchy that has given up progressive and multinational Spain and has not stopped making gestures to dark Spain," emphasizes Iglesias in this article.
