The bad behavior of politicians and partisan conflicts are two of the main problems of the country for the Spanish. This is how the February barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) comes out. It is precisely this date of disaffection that urged Yolanda Díaz to take the space of United We Can, which today is undergoing an obvious setback, to expand it to turn the abstainer into an "excited" voter.
The vice president will look for independent profiles during the "listening process" to lead candidacies for his project, as ABC has learned, which in practice means that there are direct representatives of Podemos who will be displaced from the top positions. It is the formula of his team to mobilize that dissatisfied electorate. the
Last week, Díaz already raised it: the citizens will be "protagonist" and the parties, including herself, "secondary", "a channel".
It is about incorporating in starting positions profiles with projection and weight among professionals from different sectors, labor unionists, spokespersons for associations and civil society, and other specialists. In her environment they are surprised that the also Minister of Labor has good evaluations included in a part of the Citizens voter.
They trust that his track record of negotiations and agreements carried out since he has been in government serve to approach sectors that Podemos has traditionally reneged on, for example; the entrepreneurial
Acts in the “listening” phase
Díaz's environment insists that there will be no phobias: "It is a transversal project." He also declared that they did not try to rebuild Podemos, but to configure a "new project that excites"; how to describe the vice president herself: "Broad, innovative, modern, democratic, different...", and that provides a "horizon of hope". This is the plan that her trusted team has drawn up for this year and that she will begin to take with the so-called "listening process" in a few weeks. It is a tour throughout Spain that they calculate will last about six months and whose objective is to test what support they collect and what profiles are willing to join their project. Labor Sources explained in Congress a few days ago that the acts will be “very versatile”; from talks, colloquiums, conferences. They even joked in the courtyard of the Lower House that they should not be closed to have a concert.
The elections in Castilla y León and the labor reform delayed the start of this phase, but his team is already clear that the 'tour' will begin between the end of March and the first half of April. Two important keys to write down the date: they do not want to get into the month of August with this, nor does it coincide with the beginning of the extraordinary congress of the PP that will elect a new president. Once this premiere stadium is finished, they explain that it will be when Díaz weighs whether the result convinced him to lead the platform as presidential candidate by presenting himself to the general elections at the end of 2023. They do not contemplate that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, advances them, so that they are comfortable in having at least a year and a half of margin to develop this company well. For now, the vice president insists that she is not yet a candidate for anything.
Prominence and concealment
The integration of Más País, Compromís and Equo is an important aspect, but it is pointed out that it is not the final objective. Díaz sees United We can already amortized. A plantation that has been generating internal tensions for months. Although the party hears that their future involves a secondary role in the Díaz project, they will fight to have the greatest possible role. Pablo Iglesias, far from politics, does not miss the opportunity to pressure the vice president with it.
