Pablo Iglesias maintains that Yolanda Díaz did not share his negotiation strategy of demanding the entry of United We Can into the Government at all costs and that he led to the repetition of the general elections in November 2019. And he says it now to remind the second vice president and Minister of Labor that she is today a member of the Executive thanks to the fact that he "maintained that position" of firmness until the end with Pedro Sánchez against his criteria.

"She and many colleagues did not understand when United We Can took the negotiation with the PSOE to the end so that later there would be a Government. Yolanda Díaz is a member of the Government of Spain because Podemos maintained that position, as did Alberto Garzón, who at the time was in favor of accept a programmatic agreement," Iglesias assured yesterday in his participation in the talk show of Hora 25, on Cadena Ser.

This story by Iglesias collides head-on with the facts that were known.

And it is that Díaz is unsubscribed from the United Left because she is in favor of entering the Government, like Iglesias, and disagrees with Garzón's strategy.

It is the cause that led him to leave IU.

This comment by Iglesias comes amid a notable increase in internal discrepancies in the United We Can space between Díaz and Podemos, as has been seen with the shipment of weapons to Ukraine.

Ione Belarra and Irene Montero have been left alone in their reproaches to the PSOE while Díaz has unquestionably aligned himself with Pedro Sánchez, supporting his decision.

The internal discrepancies have been manifesting for some time and are largely explained by the suspicions of Podemos about what its role will be in the so-called "broad front" that Díaz is preparing and what relevance

referents such as Montero or Belarra will have.

This was made very clear when no one from Podemos participated in the feminist act that Díaz held in Valencia in November with Ada Colau, Mónica García and Mónica Oltra.

A situation about which Iglesias already expressed her discomfort and that served to issue a warning to Díaz that the parties that form United We Can have to have "a determining role" in the "broad front".

In addition, she expressly requested that "all spaces and leaderships feel comfortable and respected."

That there is a problem is not just something reported by the media.

The magazine

LaU

, directed by Garzón, published an article last Sunday in which he admitted that it was "probable" that Díaz is "suffering a moment of suffocation by the political forces that make up the space."

A threat about which he warned that he could discourage her and lead her to take a step back.

Returning to Iglesias, in his reflection on the differences in analysis in the situation in Ukraine, he stated that those who hold leadership positions are not "infallible" and that they can be "wrong."

For, later in his exposition, to say that "maybe in a while" some colleagues "say Ione Belarra was right when he said it was a mistake."

Despite the messages of the former leader of Podemos, he said that Díaz is the best candidate for the left and asked that all the militants and cadres have it "clear" and close ranks.
