Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias steps down as Spanish deputy prime minister

Iglesias is claiming that he will run an “anti-fascist” election campaign against a coalition between the right-wing Popular Party and the fascistic Vox party in the Madrid region.

Fascistic forces pose a very real, mortal threat to the working class, as Donald Trump showed on January 6 by leading a fascist mob to try to overturn the results of the US elections.The working class cannot entrust the struggle against this danger, however, to Iglesias and Podemos, a pseudo-left party of the affluent middle class.Iglesias’ sudden discovery of the threat of fascism is a contemptible manoeuvre, arising from the factional intrigues of the major Spanish bourgeois parties and growing working class anger.This comes only a few months after youth protests broke out in working class districts of Madrid against herd immunity policies dictated by both Ayuso and the PSOE-Podemos government.

The mass working class opposition to Vox and its policies would inevitably be directed as well against the PSOE-Podemos government.” The working class is making enormous political experiences regarding the bitter costs of opportunism and the rejection of revolutionary principles.
