Montero and Rufián encourage voting with "memory" and ignoring the useful vote: "The PSOE, if it can, will eat you"

The Podemos candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Irene Montero, and the head of the ERC list for Barcelona to the Congress, Gabriel Rufián, have called this Saturday in Madrid to vote with "memory and conscience", without falling into the trap that, in their opinion, is the appeal to the useful vote that the socialists are making. "The PSOE, if it can, will eat you," stated the leader of the purple party.

The electoral partners have shown harmony in their first joint event in Madrid, after the one they held two weeks ago in Barcelona, ​​and have promised a third in the capital to be able to speak, according to Montero, before all the people who have been left outside the Espacio Delicias this Saturday.

The harmony has become evident even in their clothing, as both have appeared wearing yellow jerseys without having arranged it, according to the Catalan. Rufián's was brighter, "Esquerra yellow," he said, and Montero's was a slightly duller tone, which he later covered with a Palestinian scarf of the same color. They were both wearing jeans, his blue; hers, gray.

Rufián, who this time acted as the "opening act", has already highlighted in his opening that the people of Podemos know well that confronting the right "has a cost", but so does doing so against the PSOE, because the socialists "try to eat you".

"The PSOE, if it can, will eat you. But we, if we want our country to be as we dream, we cannot give up. That is why they appeal to the useful vote," Montero later highlighted, recalling that this is the strategy that the PSOE has always deployed to "eat its left." "The Lord's entire life has been like this. They tell you: we haven't done anything in four years, but when the elections come, vote usefully," he said.

In his opinion, that is telling people to vote for what they "don't want." "The only moment in which a person who lives in Carabanchel or Usera has the same power as Juan Roig (owner of Mercadona), that day he tells you no, not to do what you want, to vote for the PSOE," he censured.

"Well no. In an election, people vote for what they want, what they feel, what they have in their memory, who they know is going to defend their interests. You have to vote for what you want, what you feel, what you think, what you dream. It is not your vote, it is that of the person who asks you for your vote and then not change anything, then not solve any problem, and then do the same thing as always," the purple leader emphasized.

For his part, the ERC spokesperson in Congress also had words in his speech for the Frente Amplio, whom he reproached "with affection" for "this was neither about submitting to the PSOE by entering the PSOE", due to their joint lists in the Senate, nor about "replacing Yolanda Díaz" and "leading a space that already existed under another name."

Rufián has proclaimed that it is not the data, but the memory, that "kills the story", and, although he has wished the best to all the leftist forces, "because if not, it will not arrive", he has once again tacitly expressed his preference for Podemos with criticism of the Frente Amplio for subordinating itself to the PSOE in his judgment and repeating the mistakes of Sumar.

The Republican leader has culminated his take on sides by ending by asking people to vote "in memory of someone who has been in a Council of Ministers saying the same thing he said here."

"Who, who?" he asked, thus making the audience chant the name of Irene Montero, and in this way he gave her the floor and concluded, as in the first act of the two together two Saturdays ago in Barcelona, ​​usurping the name of Podemos's direct rival in Spain: "The Front is us."

Rufián has also talked about housing. "These elections are about being with the money of those who ask you to vote against your people or with the peace of mind that comes with having the keys to a house," he said, before guaranteeing that ERC and Podemos will be "savage" with the people who are with the money.

"Buy baseball cards, wine, comics, whatever you want, but with flats, don't fuck with me...", the Catalan said, before proposing to "fry taxes" on companies with large profits and taking the opportunity to criticize the Government's decision to force oil mills to withdraw 12% of the olive oil produced this season from the market. Thus, he has denounced that now that this product is "cheap" the market can be "intervened", while "when there was an alarm, it was necessary to fry with water and it was sustainable."
