Irene Montero attacks the PSOE and asks to fill Congress with "Robin Hoods" who take money from the rich for "working people"

Podemos' candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Irene Montero, asked her members this Saturday that the general elections on November 29 serve to "have many Robin Hoods in Congress who take the money of the rich, who hoard it greedily, and return it to the working people of this country."

Montero has participated in an event in the Madrid town of Getafe, under the motto 'This is how basic. Peace, home and work', together with the general secretary of the party, Ione Belarra, who referred to the MEP as "the best candidate on the left in this country."

The Podemos candidate has asked her voters to look "up" between now and November 29 to bring back wealth and distribute it among the people “so that everyone can live with dignity and can live well.”

Montero points out that PP and VOX "are going to protect those at the top" and will ask citizens to be "very angry with those next door and those below." He has also made reference to the celebration of October 12 and has insisted that "the most patriotic thing" that can be done on this date is to "follow the money" and make it available to families and working people.

The Podemos candidate also points out that the PSOE "is going to put a blindfold on its eyes and is going to do anything to not look up", despite having a camp in Madrid's Puerta del Sol "more full than the one at 15M". "That is what I ask you to do between now and 29-N, to look up," he stressed.

Montero has also denounced that workers' money goes "from the bottom up", whether in the form of rental income or the price of food, and has defended that it circulates in the opposite direction, because people "can't take it anymore."

He has also asked that these elections serve "to lower the cost of living" and to achieve "very concrete things", such as ending the housing business, living in a world in peace without oil wars or genocides and that people have time to live.

A system that kills every day

At the beginning of his intervention, Montero recalled Maricarmen, the 87-year-old woman who was terminally ill at the end of September in Madrid, and who died this week at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital. "She was murdered by a criminal system that has been killing her for seven years with a threat of eviction," denounced the purple party's policy, which also recalled that the problem of evictions extends to many more people.

The Podemos candidate cites the playwright Bertol Brecht to explain that there are two ways to kill a person, stabbing them or denying them bread, housing or health, or forcing them to go to war. Montero laments that, of all these ways of killing, "only one is prohibited," while the rest "are the norm and the heart of a system that suffocates people and kills them while they are alive."

Montero asked attendees if the fault of lengthening health waiting lists is the fault of a kid who comes by boat from Africa or of Quirón and the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, "who makes money when Quirón makes money."
