Fed up with the vacuum to which the national leadership of Podemos is submitting her, the candidate in Asturias, Cova Tomé, will appear this Saturday in Zaragoza at the Spring Festival organized by the formation to force a meeting with Ione Belarra, since she does not attends to your requests to speak. Tomé is not among the participants in the act, but even so, she will go in person to try to hold a meeting with the general secretary so that she guarantees that she will safeguard both her candidacy and that of the team that won the primaries held in autumn .
And it is that, Tomé denounced just 10 days ago that the leadership of her party is maneuvering against her to separate her as a candidate. To achieve this, she said, she has opened an investigation for alleged workplace harassment following a complaint. Official sources from Podemos confirmed that this case is being addressed, but they assure that it is not an expulsion file. However, this investigation may lead to measures that ultimately imply the disqualification of her as a candidate.
The Podemos crisis in Asturias dates back a long time. But it has reached an untenable point after the critical sector defeated the official list with votes and won the regional candidacy. Since then, Tomé has been ignored in all the party events where the candidates have gone and silenced on the networks and broadcast channels. In addition, management has acted against numbers two and four on its list. As well as against people she trusts.
«I will go to Zaragoza to try to meet with Belarra. It has been impossible to set a previous date," Tomé said in a message on Twitter. The Podemos candidate will demand that Belarra "respect" the primaries "and the four elected candidates" and will demand "the end of files that try to annul the popular will."
