Sumar abstained from voting on Tuesday on a PP proposal on sending weapons abroad. María Jesús Montero implicitly introduced the competition between Sumar and Podemos as the underlying cause.
The First Vice President of the Spanish Government and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has stated that she finds Sumar’s support for the PP “incomprehensible” in the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies on Tuesday, but has ruled out that there are any cracks are within the government coalition.
Sumar and the PP supported each other in two votes last Tuesday during the plenary meeting of the Congress of Deputies, so that Yolanda Díaz’s faction abstained from a PP proposal on sending weapons abroad, while the popular party voted a Sumar initiative on unlawful clauses in mortgages. .
Montero criticized this Wednesday in the halls of Congress that Sumar had no reason to distance himself from the PSOE in that vote and that he “honestly does not understand it”, urging the plurinational group to provide an explanation in this regard to give.
In this sense, Montero has implicitly introduced the competition between Sumar and Podemos as an underlying cause, as this move, according to him, “has more to do with the space on the left than with relations with the PSOE.”
Sumar’s spokesman in Congress, Íñigo Errejón, has insisted that his training “out of conviction” facilitated the processing of the PP’s legislative initiative on parliamentary control over the shipment of military equipment to countries such as Ukraine. Moreover, he emphasized that Sumar has not moved ideologically in Congress.
