The leader of Sumar and acting vice president of the Government, Yolanda Diazreaffirmed this Wednesday his determination to roll up one’s sleeves so that an agreement is forged that allows the continuity of the coalition government in Moncloa. The leader explained in an interview on Catalunya Ràdio that, once the predictably failed investiture of the PP leader ends next week, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will move to Catalonia to have “public and private contacts” with actors from the business and union world, beyond the political, to pave the way for an agreement whose big burning issue is an eventual amnesty law.
Díaz already met on September 4 in Brussels with the ‘former president’ Carles Puigdemont, in addition to maintaining open contacts to do the same with other key actors for the investiture, such as ERC. “Asens is leading the conversations and we are talking to all the key groups,” she stressed. The leader of the Comuns is the main link that Sumar has in his vocation as act as a hinge between the socialists and the independentists.
Beyond the games
In any case, asked about the agreement on amnesty, the leader has defended that we must go beyond the parties. “I see Catalonia as a great opportunity and not as a problem,” she stated, in addition to considering that relations with the independence movement are now “much better” than they were when the PP governed. “I have forged 18 great social agreements and I have never taken a photo,” he claimed after being asked who exactly he will meet.

In turn, the leader of Podemos, Ione Belarrahas assured that the amnesty is a good tool to “definitively end the criminalization and judicialization of the Catalan conflict” and has stressed that It must be the PSOE who explains the negotiations with Junts and ERC about possible agreements. “Regarding the agreements that the PSOE has with other political forces, with ERC or with Junts, I think that the one who has to give explanations is the PSOE and also those partners,” he assured in statements to TVE.
Belarra has once again defended that Irene Montero He must continue to lead Equality and that if Díaz is in the Government it is because Podemos allowed it, an issue that Díaz has also referred to. “We are not talking about people. I don’t know if I will be a minister, only Pedro Sánchez knows. “We must respect presidents,” she stated.
