The political and union left, by maximum alert | Spain
Never before were the political and union left alerted so much about the setbacks social, economic, rights and freedoms for the illiberal wave that advanced in the EU and has taken body with the presidency of Donald Trump in the US. Never before in Spain had been alerted so much on the prowl of regressions of every order. The alarms are produced in a context of maximum division of political formations to the left of the PSOE ―Abocadas, if there are no minimum agreements, to pass to the opposition, where they are already in most autonomous communities – and in the government.
IUon his 38th birthday, he will redouble the attempts to create a “Broad Front” or a “federal convergence”, but without being the quiet partner, the one who does not appear, who gives all the prominence. Before, we can; Now to add. Above the table puts its territorial structure, with very unequal implementation but much higher, without possible comparison, to which we can have. In the case of the Sumar coalition, the measurement is due to different parameters given the coexistence, although with their own personality, of forces such as the commons in Catalonia, Compromís in the Valencian Community, more Madrid and La Balear Més. Only IU can occur, within the conflomerate of the left, with municipal muscle. Everything is little if compared to the PP or the PSOE, or even the BNG in Galicia and the nationalists in the Basque Country and Catalonia, but is present in 1,600 municipalities.
The crisis in the coalition government for the purchase of ammunition from Israelin particular, but with the increase in defense expense in the frontispiece of the conflict, it will not help the mortar of the left of the left, inside and outside the Executive, solidifies. In these years of journey as part of the government coalition, IU has not had « recognition or lace », as noted in the document that was approved this Saturday and has had three months of discussions and amendments until reaching the meeting of its federal coordinator. The tone is not pitiful but of description, subjective, how these years have been lived within a left -wing space, first as united we can and then add.
The architect of turning a turn to the position of IU is his coordinator, Antonio Maillo, who won the primaries once his predecessor, Alberto Garzón, left the politics. Being « useful » is what IU pursues, so it denies all speculation about that it wants to cause the government’s exit and electoral advance. Those who place IU closer to the option of Podemos than to add whether to choose for the next general elections, and before in the regional ones, move away from reality, at least, for now, they indicate different interlocutors of political formation. If the conditions for the unit are not given, IU will attend the solo elections.
The dangers, given the progress of the extreme right, according to the PSOE and all the parties to their left, should move the unit, but that hypothesis currently lacks the basis to be fulfilled. The calls to the agreement occur, but are sterile in the light of the conditions that are put. We can and add a long time since they are located in opposite lanes. The policies of the socialist part of the government cause disagreements, both in adding and in IU, with the PSOE and among themselves. Yolanda Díaz, second vice president and maximum representative of adding in the government, can sign up some achievements after struggling with the socialists.
The disagreements of the left coexist with the alarm for the « embarrassing » of Vox and the accusation to the PP that it does not take off from the ultras. In the last 72 hours, the headquarters of the PSOE of Cantabria has suffered an attempt to attack, by throwing flammable bottles at its headquarters while its secretary general, Pedro Casares, was heading to its affiliates. In Madrid, an Ultra group broke into an act of democratic memory in which the Minister and General Secretary of the PSM-PSOE, Óscar López and the top leaders of UGT and CC.OO, Pepe Álvarez and Unai Sordo was.
In the celebration next Thursday on May 1, CC.OO and UGT add to labor claims the call to mobilization for the defense of feminism, of a social Europe « against external and internal barbarism » and « for democracy, to be able to breathe. » The unions will ask the Parliament not to hinder the way for the approval of the working day of 37 and a half hours a week, agreed in the first instance by Díaz and the unions. Díaz and the Minister of Economy, Carlos Body, agreed after an initial trifulca. Now the parliamentary exam remains and today the numbers do not come out. The week begins with the threat of the PP to plant by body in the appointment marked for today in order to study palliative measures for Trump’s tariffs.
