The second vice president of the Government and future leader of Podemos, Yolanda Diaz, wants to snatch More Country his alliance with Commitment In the Valencian community. The nationalist coalition, deeply rooted in autonomy, is the clear Valencian objective in the network of alliances that the left-wing leader of the PSOE aspires to weave. And this Monday he had the opportunity to show his complicity with the leader of the Valencian formation, Monica Oltra. “Our country would like to see women who, being different, are capable of working together,” he went on to affirm about her.
The Valencian vice president and leader of Compromís was even more explicit. “It is a path that I would like to follow with Yolanda Díaz”He said about the purpose of this to regroup the left in Spain. But the manifest will of both leaders faces a stumbling block. Currently the preferred partner of the coalition at the state level is the party of Íñigo Errejón. And Més (the old Bloc, which is the largest party of the three that make up Compromís) is not for the task of undoing this union.
The rest of the actors involved do seem willing. Podem has always looked favorably on achieving the greatest possible alliance of the forces of the left. And its current delicate situation, with the party completely fractured, turns this desire into an emergency. The sector Pillar Five (related to Pablo Iglesias e Irene Montero) seized power in early 2021 and has pushed the Naiara Grandmother of the main positions of responsibility. This, ultimately, has resulted in the resignation of the Valencian vice president Rubén Martínez Dalmau and that of 7 critics of the party’s executive.
This, together with the fact that in the Valencian Community the electoral barrier stands at 5%, has triggered the alarms and has led the party to surrender to Díaz’s bet to regroup to the left. Its usual partner, Esquerra Unida del País Valencià (EUPV), is also in tune. The main leaders of the Valencian brand Izquierda Unida advocate forging alliances to stop the downward trend of Podemos, which obtained about 8% of the support in the Valencian autonomous regions of 2019 and barely exceeded 7% in the Madrid ones despite concurring with Pablo Iglesias as a candidate.
But in the Bloc, the party of Joan Baldoví, are comfortable with their link with Más País, a recently created party, without a presence in the Valencian Community and that does not require positions on the electoral lists or nominees in the program. Everything is done according to orders and orders Compromís. Therefore they consider risky to settle under the umbrella of Podemos. They believe that broadening the electoral spectrum by going hand in hand dilutes the Valencian profile that It has led Compromís to differentiate itself at the polls and obtain good results in the regional and local elections. The most notorious, the mayor of Valencia.
Tuning in and complicity and above all knowing that politics does improve people’s lives. In this we work, taking a step every day, small advances that, all together, make a great revolution
Thanks @Yolanda_Diaz_ to be who you were and share the way you understand politics pic.twitter.com/AV2WHSG8Gl– Mónica Oltra Jarque (@monicaoltra) September 13, 2021
From Iniciativa, Oltra’s party, they reply that Més’ real fear is that his leadership will be diluted by embracing more fractions of the left. And they cling to the results in the general elections to defend the concurrence with Podemos. The alliance To the Valencian Between Compromís, Podemos and EUPV, it achieved 9 Valencian deputies in Congress in 2016, 3 more than the PSOE. By contrast, in 2019, Compromís achieved only 1 under the umbrella of Más País. Podemos-EUPV won 4 seats. They lost four representatives by attending separately.
It remains to be seen, in any case, what is the formula that Díaz is betting on when the moment of seducing Compromís approaches. His state negotiation with Íñigo Errejón will also be decisive, to whom the vice president of the Government wants to approach without the obstacle that Iglesias supposed to bring both formations closer.
“New social contract”
Asked expressly this Monday about the agreement of the left to which Díaz aspires, the vice president subjected him to a large round of contacts that he will carry out throughout Spain with representatives of all kinds of civil society. Everything in search of “a new social contract” that “must be done by many hands”, as explained.
On Oltra, he was full of praise on several occasions. Underlined “the affection” that he feels for her, called it a “referent”, and transferred “a collective recognition”. “A recognition of those of us who have looked at it and learned many things in public life and also in private,” he stressed.
“We are both very different, although very similar. She is Valencian, I am Galician, we have very different cultures, but there is something that our country would love, which is to see women who, being different, may be able to work together“, he asserted.
