Díaz Accuses PP of Pandemic Failures, Sparking Heated Parliament Clash

Spanish Parliament erupts as Yolanda Díaz accuses PP of causing suffering and death during the pandemic. In a fiery exchange during a parliamentary debate, Sumar leader Yolanda Díaz launched a scathing attack on the Partido Popular (PP), accusing them of widespread failures and causing significant suffering to the Spanish people. Díaz cited the PP's vote against a crucial pension revaluation bill, stating, "Those who generate instability in people's lives and cause suffering are the regional governments of the PP with Vox." She further condemned the PP's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Madrid, highlighting the deaths of 7,291 elderly people due to what she termed "shameful protocols." The PP's response was muted, but the video shows clear disagreement. Díaz also pointed to the PP's management of the DANA storm in Valencia. The exchange ended with Díaz questioning the purpose of 137 PP deputies, saying, "I'll tell you: for nothing." The incident underscores the deep divisions within Spanish politics and the intense scrutiny surrounding the PP's policies.
