Podemos Challenges PSOE with Bold Demands

Published: 2024-10-19

Podemos has launched a strong critique against the Spanish government, particularly targeting the PSOE and PP, during its 'Uni de Otoño' event.

The party, led by Ione Belarra and Irene Montero, demands that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez break commercial ties with Israel and legislate to lower housing rents.

These conditions are set as prerequisites for Podemos' support in the upcoming budget negotiations.

The event highlighted Podemos' stance as a resilient left-wing force, criticizing the current government's neoliberal policies and its handling of housing and international relations.

Despite reduced political representation, Podemos remains vocal, emphasizing its survival against media and judicial challenges.

The party also calls for increased fiscal measures on banks and energy companies, aligning with Sumar's demands for fiscal justice.
