The book belongs to a classic genre among the expolitic, the adjustment of accounts, as they did before Esperanza Aguirre in I don’t shut up, where Mariano Rajoy and Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón Atiza; José Manuel García-Margallo in Heterodox memorieswhere He dispatches on another intimate enemy, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, or Fran Hervías in Citizens, history never told.

The list of “intimate enemies” of Iglesias is Variopinto and includes from José María Aznar and Isabel Díaz Ayuso to Josep Borrell, Felipe VI, Manuela Carmena or Yolanda Díaz and Íñigo Errejón. « Both, » he says about these last two, « they were a media construction made to destroy us. » The publication of the book and its presentation coincide with the launch of Irene Montero to lead a leftist candidacy In the generals, shortly after in their assembly, Sumar Movement approved a resolution that is committed to re -establishing alliances in the space to the left of the PSOE. For now, that « confluence » does not seem likely. Iglesias gives « dead » to add and the Minister of Health, Mónica García, of more Madrid, split of Podemos in its origins, has stated that it is « fed up » that Iglesias and Montero give them « lessons. » Asked Tuesday by those statements, the former government president has said: « I regret that the minister is angry, but would tell her to respect that the organizations of the left do politics. » In his opinion, both Díaz and Garcia represent a “very comfortable left for the PSOE”. « In the book, » he added, « I try to explain how certain figures on the left were pampered by certain media to contribute to the destruction of Podemos.

Podemos was a victim of the campaign of the so -called Patriotic Police, which poured false accusations against the party to try to weaken it, but also, as numerous former leaders explained, including some co -founders that abandoned the formation, made mistakes that eroded the illusion of 15-M, the gasoline that allowed to grow to alternatives around imperfect bipartisanism that seemed eternal until then. The analysis of the Book of Iglesias, however, is that this wear is due to a progressive « right -wing » of the country, in his opinion, by « allegedly progressive left -wing managers. »

The presentation of the book thus became an act of promotion of the Red channel directed by Iglesias and where according to him, “media education” is provided.
