Only a few minutes have passed since the start of the control session this Wednesday at the Congress of Deputies that the clashes happened. One of them was made by the parliamentary spokesman of the Popular Party (PP), Miguel Tellado, and the second vice president of the government, Yolanda Díaz. The Minister of Labor also criticized her “his macho and paternalistic tone”after the popular dishonored him by saying that “Sánchez had bought his integrity” in exchange for a position in the socialist government.
This moment occurred after Tellado asked Vice President Díaz – “from Ferrolano to Ferrolana” – if she considered herself a Democrat. In fact, Tellado, with some sarcasm, justified that he had asked the question to leader Sumar to “give her a little importance” and “give him the opportunity to distance himself from Pedro Sánchez”since the president had him “isolated”.
It was the turn of the response: “Spain is a full democracy. I say it, I affirm it and all the international indicators say it,” said the Minister of Labor. So, you considered that “It would be good if the Popular Party (PP) understood this”. It was Tellado’s turn again and the words came that outraged the former Sumar leader.
After addressing the minister and regretting having “wasted the opportunity”, because “it is the price of power to be vice-president of the government of Sánchez”, she assured that the president of the government and socialist leader had “bought her integrity” with a seat in the Council of Ministers, as well as his “silence with an official car that takes him across Spain.”
“We always learn a lot from their interventions,” said a visibly angry Diaz, who then proceeded to disgrace the popular actor. “the sexist and paternalistic tone that is being referred to.” In the popular bench, one could see the proud smiles due to the previous interventions of their comrades, but it was thanks to the reproaches of Yolanda Díaz that the undisguised laughter was unleashed.
Then, Díaz began his argument to consider Spain as a democratic state. He did so by comparing the “model” of the current coalition government with that of the Popular Party (PP) of previous legislatures, and addressing the popular “from Ferrolana to Ferrolano”. Laughter, now, was observed in the socialist bench with María Jesús Montero who, with her gestures, indicated to Tellado to listen to his colleague in the government.
