Spanish Socialists, outraged by the extreme left populist
Accuse they of not wanting an agreement
USPA NEWS -
The Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE its acronym in Spanish) reacted Friday with "indignation" at the press conference by the secretary general of the extreme left populist coalition Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, and accused him of not wanting a Government leftist.
The parliamentary spokesman of the Socialist Party, Antonio Hernando, said he was "outraged" and "surprised" by the reaction of Pablo Iglesias, who had appeared front the media shortly before accusing of "immobilism" socialists and Citizens, and provide for exhausted possibility of a Government agreement. According to Hernando, "Iglesias and Podemos have closed the door to the change that want millions of Spaniards." In his view, the presentation by Podemos a document with 20 proposals that would facilitate the support of the extreme left populist to a Government led by the socialist Pedro Sanchez, was "a ruse" because, he said, Iglesias has never been interested in a Government of change.
Citizens also reacted with criticism to the secretary general of Podemos. The centrist formation signed an Government agreement with the Socialist Party, and accuses Podemos of wanting to "blow up the agreement." Earlier, on television, the president of Citizens, Albert Rivera, had ruled out the possibility that meet again Socialist Party, Podemos and Citizens, after Podemos determine its support for the Socialist candidate for breach of the agreement between PSOE and Citizens.
Citizens and Socialists add, with the support of nationalists canaries, 131 deputies in the Lower House of the Spanish Parliament, far short of the 176 needed for the nomination of Pedro Sanchez. Yes explicit of 65 deputies of the extreme left would allow the election of Sanchez, as well as abstaining from Podemos and the Catalan and Basque nationalists, since the conservative Popular Party would vote against. The failure of the trialogue meeting held on Thursday between PSOE, Citizens and Podemos, portends new elections to be held on June 26.
