From Ferrol to Moncloa. The second vice president of the Government and Minister of Labor has become - perhaps unintentionally - one of the main assets of the left in our country, "the great white hope", capable of bringing together all the sensitivities on the left of the PSOE and enabling the reissue of a new coalition government, saving the fortunes of a weakened Podemos and, why not?, becoming the first female president of the Government and also with a PCE card. The journalists Manuel Sánchez and Alexis Romero bring us closer to the figure of Yolanda Díaz who has entered the political scene with force and who is called to play an important role in the next general elections, if things do not go wrong and if she decides say 'I do', which remains to be seen. 'Yolanda Díaz. The Red Lady' is an unauthorized biography but well received by the vice president who attended the presentation of the book of which she has only read a few paragraphs, as she herself has confessed. At the event, she was accompanied by leaders of Unidas Podemos such as Alberto Garzón and Irene Montero , but also by members of the PSOE such as Eduardo Madina and former ministers José Blanco and José Luis Ábalos , in addition to the general secretary of CCOO, Unai Sordo . The story put together by Manuel Sánchez and Alexis Romero of the life and political career of Yolanda Díaz is a rigorous journalistic work for which they have relied on the testimonies of fifty people, family, friends, and political colleagues.
It is "a serious book", as Manuel Sánchez likes to say, which reveals to us what Ferrolana's childhood and youth were like in a family environment closely linked to politics and class unionism. Her father, Suso Díaz , who was general secretary of of Galicia, has a special role and was one of the interviewees with whom both journalists spoke the most hours. His mother, Carmela, now deceased, is also present in these pages. Yolanda Díaz studied Law in Santiago de Compostela. She started her professional life in her own law firm as a Costa Rica WhatsApp Number labor lawyer and made her first steps as an activist in her native Ferrol. Her first forays into politics left her with some disappointments and failures, although she became aware of her big bet or first victory in 2010 when she was the head of Esquerda Unida and sealed an agreement with José Manuel Beiras , of the BNG, for the regional elections. Both “helped to plant, without knowing it, the seed of Podemos,” it is stated in the book. 13 agreements with social agents It was in those years when she became friends with Pablo Iglesias , the same one who told her by phone - and when she was cleaning the windows of her house in Ferrol - that she was going to be Minister of Labor. The portfolio handed over to the hands of the previous head of the Ministry, Magdalena Valerio , with whom the vice president maintains a good relationship, has forged Yolanda Díaz - according to the authors - in her role as a great negotiator, with a legacy of 13 agreements in the framework of social dialogue in just two years of legislature.
The book reveals juicy anecdotes with social agents, with Garamendi , leader of the CEOE, who dared to tell her “what a pity that you are red!” . But also with the union leaders Unai Sordo (CCOO) and Pepe Álvarez (UGT) who highlight her tenacity, her detailed knowledge of the subjects she deals with and her genius when the doors are closed to her, despite this, she continues without getting up from the table. His image always scrutinized in detail; his faithful, many of them members of his team; his marathon days and his 'getaways' to Ferrol to be with his family, with his daughter Carmela . Their relations within the Council of Ministers; his tense meetings with the first vice president of the Government and Minister of Economic Affairs, Nadia Calviño , or his disagreements with the head of Social Security, José Luis Escrivá ; his relationship with Pedro Sánchez …; and her obstinacy of not letting go of the portfolio of Minister of Labor so that sharp blows fall due to organic problems of a Podemos that has irremediably turned towards her figure.
