The critical article by The economist He begins by highlighting the threat launched by Pedro Sánchez on September 7 during a PSOE event. The president of the government was clear: “We will govern with or without the support of the legislative power.” A Parliament which, according to him, “must be more constructive and less restrictive”.
In this regard, the prestigious English publication highlights that “Sánchez – in power since 2018 – is the great survivor of European politics” and defines him as “a cunning and ruthless strategist”. Likewise, the article recalls that “he governs at the whim of the radical Catalan and Basque nationalists”. “He governs to the detriment of the quality of Spanish democracy and its institutions,” he underlines.
After this brief analysis of his legislature, he recalls that the PSOE “suffered a setback in the municipal elections of May 2023”, which led it to bring forward the national elections to July of the same year. “The PP won, but it was six seats from the majority with the support of Vox and the PSOE, instead of agreeing on a broad coalition with the PP, they decided to move forward with the party. support from eight different parties”underlines the article, referring to the coalition Frankenstein headed by the President of the Government.
In this sense, The economist Let us remember that Sánchez paid for the support of the Catalan separatists “with amnesty” and the Catalan quota. “He claims to have put an end to separatist agitation in Catalonia, but has weakened the penal code,” adds the newspaper.
Begoña Gomez

The focus is also on Carlos Barrabés, who points out that Pedro Sánchez’s wife “signed a letter of support to a friend who was running in a public competition.”
This is how things are, The economist recalls that “when the scandal broke, instead of apologizing, Sánchez blamed the far right and wondered if it was all worth it before taking the time to think”, referring to the threat of resignation of the president of the government last month.
