• 'Yes is yes' Frustration and Iglesias-Díaz war lead Podemos to collapse

  • United We Can Iglesias attacks Yolanda Díaz for "putting herself in profile" with Irene Montero: "She is miserable, cowardly and politically stupid"

  • Opinion Irene, the infallible, by Jorge Bustos

Yolanda Díaz

dodged the controversy with

Pablo Iglesias

.

The factual leader of

United We Can

had accused her of "putting herself in profile" for not defending

Irene Montero

, which she described as "miserable, cowardly and stupid", but the vice president chose to ignore her words at the event held in Valencia that brought together 300 people.

Only at the end, to the question of an assistant, did she have to show her opinion on the controversial Law of 'Yes is yes' that threatens to lead Podemos to collapse.

Her position did not change: "I have my own opinion on a fundamental law and, since all laws are interpretable, I think we have to leave the Supreme Court current."

Before she had released some messages about the role of women in politics and in Sumar: "If we cannot take care of each other, whatever we think, we will hardly be able to change people's lives"

"Sumar is about your problems, it is about the fact that we have the right to make mistakes in politics, to take care of ourselves and have affection among ourselves. Why are we always insulted when we are in public affairs? Chirbes said that the important thing about the rope is that all we are part of it, regardless of which side we are on," Díaz said.

"Here we cannot license anyone, there is no one left over. We only ask for intellectual contribution, proposals for tenderness in public life. We go into politics to change people's lives, not to make noise and cheer. Let's not get distracted, or do noise. Let's give confidence," she asked surrounded not only by supporters, but also by regional officials from United We Can,

, both well-known

Pabloites,

or the councilors

Rosa Pérez

(EU) and Isaura Navarro (Compromís).

There was also no shortage of representatives from the three Compromís parties, although their top leaders,

Joan Baldoví

and

Aitana Mas

, barely spent a few minutes to say hello in the moments prior to the start of the event.

The possibility of the nationalist coalition coming together with Sumar in the next general elections, or opting for Podemos or a solo candidacy, is still up in the air.
