“My opinion is that we cannot consent “Let this operation continue.” This is how forceful the acting second vice president and leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, expressed herself this Friday when responding to a question about the recent purchase of 10% of Telefónica by Saudi Arabia.
“Telefónica is a strategic company for our country,” he reasoned, adding that “data” is “the oil of the 21st century.” “Everything lies in them,” he considered. Therefore, “we cannot allow this operation to continue. And this is how I have sent it to the economic vice president of the acting Government and that is how I am going to defend it,” he reported. Spain must “improve in industrial matters and we need to improve, above all, in strategic sectors,” she stated, on the sidelines of an event at the City Hall of the city of Rome, with the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri.
In this tone, the Minister of Labor has also suggested that it would be appropriate to better study who can integrate the boards of directors of companies of strategic interest for the country.
“All countries regulate and standardize these situations. We must think about Spain, what our strategic sectors are, who can train you on the Boards of Directors, what are the limits and of course, I will work so that this operation does not occur,” he insisted.
Catalonia, the solution

In another section, Díaz has also spoken about his recent negotiations for the investiture. “I see Catalonia as a solution and not as a problem,” he said about it. “But I think that, once and for all, we must put an end to a conflict that weighs a lotwhich is the Catalan conflict and, as I always say, it must be done with a single tool, which is democracy and dialogue,” he said.
In line with this, Díaz has also taken advantage of the opportunity to charge against the PP. “When our country was put in check is when the Popular Party governed,” he said. “We have seen it, I think, throughout Spain and, unfortunately, I say it again, events that we should never have come to. The Popular Party abdicated from politics and the President of the Government and the acting progressive coalition Government are going to respect the democratic majority of our country that voted well,” he argued.
