Podemos Iglesias leads the siege of Yolanda Díaz while Irene Montero prepares as an alternative
Pugna Podemos is unleashed against Yolanda Díaz and demands "respect": "You have to be stupid"
"Security and stability".
It is a message that they have been trying to convey from La Moncloa for weeks to overcome the scenario of uncertainty that is being experienced due to the war in Ukraine and the energy and socioeconomic crisis.
In the Executive they maintain that the presentation "in time and form" of the Budget project for 2023 is a new hammer blow in that strategy of making itself visible as a stable government.
However, the struggle unleashed in United We Can, between the purples and Yolanda Díaz, coalition partners of the PSOE, threatens that message that Pedro Sánchez wants to convey and settle, as one of his priorities for the long electoral campaign that is coming
In
La Moncloa
and the
PSOE
they dodge the crisis in United We Can.
Some time ago the President of the Government stated that it was best to ignore the controversies and challenges of his Government partner.
Minimize the internal "noise" that angers the Chief Executive so much and that also caused discomfort in the territorial leaders by diverting the focus of the Government's action and the measures implemented.
Now that
Podemos
has opened Pandora's box, the socialist sector avoids the internal struggle of its partner, they avoid even entering to assess the matter.
The answer is, in any case, to focus on that "stability" and that the third budgets have been presented "in a timely manner" and that the coalition, despite having 153 seats -the majority in
Congress
is 176- has carried out more than 160 parliamentary initiatives in this legislature.
The official message that they convey in the PSOE is that "the organic decisions of other parties correspond to them", and they do not get out of there.
"What I hope and desire is that all the political parties that are progressive in the face of the next municipal and regional elections and also the next general elections have a significant capacity to mobilize our electorate", summarized the Socialist spokesperson and Minister of
Education
, Pilar Alegría, after the meeting of the
Executive
of the party.
That message and that imperative to transfer and stage "stability" was made clear just a couple of weeks ago from
Brussels
by Sánchez himself when he demanded "the need to have stable governments. The value of political stability at a time of extraordinary uncertainty."
And he added: "I think that the Government of
Spain
, with all the complexity of the situation it is dealing with, is granting political stability at a time of high uncertainty, which is what the Spanish people deserve and need."
A "stability" of the PSOE-United We Can coalition that in La Moncloa are striving to oppose the autonomous PP and Cs governments that have advanced elections without finishing the legislature -as happened for example in Madrid or Castilla y León- or against the instability experienced in countries such as the United Kingdom or Italy.

An idea that puts in check the internal disputes in United We Can.
For a long time in La Moncloa, in the socialist sector, they have been aware that in the Executive there are not two sectors, but three: the PSOE,
Yolanda Díaz
-to which the ministers
Garzón
(IU) and
Subirats
(the
common
ones ) would join
- and the ministers of Podemos -Ione Belarra and Irene Montero-.
A division, now openly brought into the public sphere, as evidenced in the autumn university of Podemos, but which has had various examples within the Government.
The last ones: the budgetary negotiation and that of
the Judicial Power
, where the
purple ones
They have called into question Diaz's negotiating capacity and strategy as leader of the United We Can space.
Dependency of Podemos
In La Moncloa and in the PSOE they do not want to give United We Can a field, but they know that they need the
purple ones
in the face of the next municipal and regional elections.
"Podemos cannot disappear," claim socialist sources, knowing that they will need the purples to obtain representation in order to maintain or achieve power in some communities.
The Socialists are very aware of what happened in the last Andalusian elections with the
For Andalusia
coalition , where the internal struggle is still more than alive and has broken out in the Andalusian Parliament.
And they know that in more than one territory they will need to agree with
Podemos
.
For this reason, they fear that a purple weakening as a result of this unleashed struggle with Díaz will have as collateral damage a decrease in the PSOE's autonomous muscle.
Hence, despite the controversy being avoided, there is concern in the PSOE, where they are aware that they need all the parties on the left to be strong, not only in the municipal and regional elections, but also so that Pedro Sánchez can aspire to remain in front of La Moncloa.
Passed through the filter of electoral calculations, the disagreements between United We Can and the
Sumar
brand that the Vice President of the Government is promoting will foreseeably have a direct impact on the scrutiny of the general elections that will be held at the end of 2023.
According to sources from the national leadership, the problem of the fragmentation of the ideological spectrum is "the remains", that is, that there are votes that go to a certain formation that does not get representation.
In this case, through application of the
D'hondt Law
, these ballots are distributed among the groups that have obtained a seat, regardless of their political party.
