New fissure in the Government after the support

naeem19

Far from closing the gap between the two wings of the government due to equality policies, Unidas Podemos's support for the protesters who have caused disturbances due to Pablo Hasél's imprisonment has opened a new fissure between the coalition partners. The crisis was generated by the parliamentary spokesperson for Unidas Podemos, Pablo Echenique, when the protests that left dozens of people injured and detained in Madrid and Barcelona had not yet calmed down and he expressed "all his support" for the "anti-fascist" protesters. Echenique's words have unleashed a storm of criticism in the opposition - which has once again urged the PSOE to break its agreement with Unidas Podemos - and in the Security Forces, but they have not gone down well with the majority sector of the Executive either.

The first vice president, Carmen Calvo , protagonist in recent weeks of the confrontation with Unidas Podemos and the Ministry of Equality as a result of equality policies, has been the most forceful in the reproach: "It is one thing to defend that a democracy is demanding with freedom of expression and another very different thing is encouraging Belgium Mobile Number List people to be in a situation in which yesterday we saw injuries and arrests." Minister José Luis Ábalos has also made it clear that the Government does not share the "personal" opinion of the leader of Unidas Podemos and from the official account of the Ministry of the Interior a message of applause has been launched for the work of the Police and the rest of the the security forces and bodies "guaranteeing the safety of everyone in the face of altercations caused by a violent minority.



Nobody in Unidas Podemos has condemned the riots on Wednesday that resulted in arrests and injuries, including 35 police officers, with numerous material damages in Madrid and with 33 arrested and 14 injured, in addition to 135 containers and 9 burned cars, in Barcelona. . This Thursday, the party's spokesperson, Isa Serra , assured that her party opposes all violence, but the Secretary of Relations with Civil Society, Rafael Mayoral , has evaded condemnation of the riots on several occasions and has questioned, as Echenique did yesterday, the action of the Police. Members of the purple party Executive have remained silent on the matter. Only the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero , has tweeted a photo of the arrest of British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst during a protest.
