The political consequences of the fracture of the 'yes is yes': sit-in of Sánchez to Equality and emergency meeting Díaz-Montero

• The PSOE Congress and Podemos cross fierce attacks for the reform of the 'yes is yes': from "we are tired of your rants" to "they have betrayed women"

• Poll The majority challenges Irene Montero and her 8-M: 61% think that the Ministry of Equality is of little or no use

Irene Montero and Yolanda Díaz closed a diabolical day for the government coalition, and in particular for Unidas Podemos, with an unexpected meeting in one of the Congress rooms attached to the Chamber, from which both left visibly tense and upset.

The fracture in the Government due to the

it does not stop there.

According to his agenda, the President of the Government does not plan to attend tomorrow the institutional acts organized by the Ministry of Equality of Irene Montero on the occasion of Women's Day.

The meeting between Díaz and Montero took place about 15 minutes before the admission to process of the reform presented by the PSOE to correct the law of

was voted .

A debate where socialists and

launched verbal blows at each other but which also made visible the loneliness of the Minister of Equality, who was only supported by her partner and friend Ione Belarra.

Díaz, on the other hand, was not present at the debate and only appeared in Congress to vote.

With her absence, the second vice president and leader of the Unidas Podemos space avoided giving explicit support to the Minister of Equality in one of her darkest days since she was in government, due to the disavowal that the unilateral reform of the PSOE implies.

It is true that ministers usually do not attend these debates, but Belarra did want to make that political gesture of support for her party partner.

Other ministers from United We Can, such as Joan Subirats, did not attend, nor did Alberto Garzón, who is on paternity leave.

When he arrived in Congress, Díaz wanted to stage his anger at the open fracture in the Executive, although without placing the blame on anyone, as Irene Montero did openly.

"Well, I'm sorry [that there is no agreement] and we never should have gotten here," said the vice president, visibly angry and leaving immediately and then directly to the plenary session.

It was after entering that Montero and Díaz left after a while to have a private conversation in a nearby room, in which the deputy

was also present .

The sources consulted on both sides refuse to reveal the content of the talk, although it is pointed out that the meeting is part of "normality" and that it was "cordial".

However, both came out later with a face of circumstances and visibly upset.

After the vote, both one and the other avoided making statements.

Although Díaz maintained voting discipline and rejected the socialist proposal, Podemos has been lamenting the profile position of the vice president with the

law in the face of direct attacks on Montero and the norm.

In fact, until this Tuesday, her exact position on the PSOE reform was not known, since until now she had limited herself to dispatching the crisis with generic calls to seek an agreement and "take care of the coalition."

Without occupying a place in the trench from which Podemos shoots at the socialists.
