WE HAVE 39.000 VOTES, BUT IN CLM THEY DO NOT GIVE US VOICE


I hope and in the next elections the citizenship us of his confidence and in IU let's be able to gain access to the regional parliament, since at present only in CLM there is a democratic deficit such that alone PP and Spanish socialist party have presence. Quite for the regional electoral Law, more unjust than already of for himself state.
When our regional coordinator warned this week the Spanish socialist party that “that there exists the possibility that in the next elections it could gain the People's Party and for us it is very sad is that the Spanish socialist party gets into debt in stopping out of the Spanish Parliament to an alternative vote of lefts to the conservative politics of the PP“ in the Spanish socialist party Mr. Valverde and Gentleman have not been late in going out, Vice-president of the government and spokesman, respectively, to throw his habitual tirades saying that IU what it has to do is to extract more votes.
Not to be tiring any more with the topic, and since I am not going to say it better than my partner, I enclose you the answer of Daniel Martínez, regional coordinator of IU, which puts clearly the finger in the ulcer:

We have votes
At this point it can surprise nobody or surprise that from Izquierda Unida we support the claim necessary to modify the regional electoral law to make her more just and democratic. It is not a question of covering partisan targets or of acquitting proper weaknesses, it is a question of defending and of demanding that there should be fulfilled basic and top constitutional beginning of the Spanish juridical arranging and of the Great Letter. Although it could surprise other politicians, there are persons, groups, social organizations and political education that value the need to respect beginning and democratic values as the political pluralism, the freedom, the justice and the equality; what we are going to do!, we are like that. On the contrary, it is clear that some of them only think of supporting at all costs the armchair and the power over everything.
The truly strange and surprising thing is that in the region we keep on suffering, all the citizens and city dwellers, the consequences of supporting an electoral law that disables to translate in benches the votes that obtain the alternative political education to the Spanish socialist party and to the PP and, especially, of supporting a clear discrimination between the citizenship since a few votes have more value than others. While the PP and the Spanish socialist party in Castilla-La Mancha obtain a regional deputy for every 22.000, IU with almost 40.000 votes does not have any deputy. Where does stay the universal, free, direct, equal and secret suffrage? Where is the proportional electoral system that gathers like order the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy?
Although I do not share the sense of the declarations of the expartner and now Vice-president of the regional Government, Mr. Valverde, is right in pointing out that it is a votes question, but it is that the votes are, we have them, they exist, the problem is the filter to which one submits them for will of those who today govern us. He is not an any politician and in spite of his forced declarations it knows well the problem of fund.
The democratic deficit that our Spanish Parliament suffers has no comparison in any other autonomic parliament of the country. Along with Extremadura we are the only two-party region as for the composition of the regional parliament, being the case of the Extremaduran purely circumstantial since with a million inhabitants less than Castilla-La Mancha 65 deputies are elected, that is to say, 18 more. In Aragon 67 are the deputies to be chosen, twenty more than 47 current ones here; there are 730.000 inhabitants less. The comparisons prove sangrantes, Aragon with less extension and less inhabitants it has 20 more regional deputies. This way we might continue with any other autonomous region. The one through that we live in Castilla-La Mancha is an unjust and slightly democratic situation only defensible and justifiable for few ones from the perspective of the maintenance or the access to the power over everything. But neither the power is a justification. In other regions it governs the Spanish socialist party or the PP, for many years with historical absolute majorities (Aragon, Extremadura, Andalusia...), and they have up to five political education, because they are provided with electoral, more proportional and less unjust laws, which channel better the plurality of thought of the society.
What this in game is the democratic quality of a region, the democratic health of Castilla-La Mancha and of a few Spanish Parliament that do not represent the existing political and social plurality.
