The extreme left refuses to support Rajoy to form Government

USPA NEWS - The left coalition Podemos denied Monday the president of the Spanish Government in power, Mariano Rajoy, to be sworn their support for another term. After the meeting held between Rajoy and the secretary general of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, it became clear the distance separating the two parties.

"The Prime Minister is fully aware that we, either by active or passive, will not support the candidacy of Rajoy nor any other candidate of the Popular Party," he said at a press conference after the meeting in the palace Moncloa, the secretary general of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias. At the meeting, Iglesias exposed to Rajoy an analysis of the results of the legislative elections on December 20, in his opinion marked the end of the alternation in Government between the conservative Popular Party and the Socialists.

Iglesias said that Rajoy, "do not agree on anything in our vision of Spain." The leader of the extreme left is holding meetings with other political parties, "among which I count this meeting with Rajoy," he said, to try to form a left-wing coalition that can govern rather than the winner of the elections, the conservative Popular Party. Podemos can go to Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to report that the Spanish political parties are arguing over seats of power as there are families who are cut off light and heat for nonpayment, there are women abused who they are forced to live with the abuser for lack of housing alternatives and there are employers burdened with debts they can´t overcome the crisis.

Pablo Iglesias also had words for the secretary general of the Socialist Party (PSOE), Pedro Sanchez. One day after the PSOE will set red lines for negotiations with Podemos, including the unit of Spain, the leader of the extreme left reiterated his defense of a referendum in Catalonia on their integration in Spain. "If they will allow the governing Popular Party because they do not accept the referendum in Catalonia, let them say," said Iglesias, who was immovable on this issue, although willing to negotiate with the Socialists.
