The former secretary general of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, has promised that he will go to live in another country if the PP and Vox govern. «Many of us are going to have to go live in another country to the applause of a large part of the media» said the former Podemite leader.
It is not the first time that the former leader of the purple formation manifests contempt for the party led by Santiago Abascal. Already in 2021, when he was the Podemos candidate for the Madrid Community elections, Iglesias lashed out at Vox for not condemning the threats he received in a letter with four bullets inside. At that time, the man who was also the second vice president of the Government considered not going to the electoral debates in which someone from the green party was present for “supporting terrorism.”
“It is very serious that a political force that openly advocates the dictatorship calls into question that I have received those bullets. It is unacceptable and We are going to rethink being in any space with Vox. If they question a terrorist threat, it is further proof that they are not a democratic force,” Iglesias assured during an interview with La Hora de La 1 on TVE.
The former second vice president of the Government, who now teaches politics at the Complutense University of Madrid, teaches his students how important Marxism is to him with slogans such as “the revolution must basically be an armed insurrection” or with praise for the Chinese Communist Government: “There is one thing that is certainly an advantage from China and that is there are no elections. So, although there may be internal struggles in the Chinese Communist Party, it is a country that can plan for 30, 40 or 50 years,” Iglesias recounted in the presentation of his first class, Global Governance, in a clear show of contempt for the democracy.
Now, with these words about Vox, it is not the first time that Iglesias questions the democratic system. The former second vice president assured, in the middle of the campaign for the elections in Catalonia in 2021, that «there is no situation of full political and democratic normality in Spain when the leaders of the two parties that govern Catalonia, one is in prison (Oriol Junqueras, from ERC) and the other in Brussels [en referencia a Puigdemont]».
