Yolanda Díaz’s motion: invitation to Sumar from Congress

The second vice president of the Government climbed the steps of the Congress rostrum, adjusted the microphones, looked at the candidate Ramón Tamames, shrunken in his seat, and spoke to him until he was exhausted. “You represent in this chamber those who wield the Constitution like a throwing weapon, but refuse to comply with it,” she reminded the far-right candidate and former member of the Spanish Communist Party, where she is still a member. The speech, applauded by the entire coalition bench, to which she claimed ministry to ministry, had a symbolic importance just one day after announcing the date of the act in which she will foreseeably launch her candidacy with Sumar; in the week in which she has laid the cornerstone of the project with which she aspires to unify the left for the next general elections.
