At the inauguration of new political course at an event at the Cervantes Institute, the socialist said yesterday Pedro Sanchez, that “Spain will be a better country when it has more public transport and fewer Lamborghinis.” And he said it without looking in the mirror after getting off the jet private who took him to the millionaires’ paradise that is Andorra, after spending their holidays in the luxurious La Mareta Palace.
You all know that the brother accused of Pedro Sanchez declares an asset of more than 2 million euroswith which you could buy 6 or 7 Lamborghinis. You are also informed that the spouse of the accused Begoña Gomez, Her husband’s government awarded her contracts for more than 22.2 million euroswho are some 75 Lamborghinis. Or that the commissioner accused of the Koldo case Victor de Aldama, the justice has seized a Ferrari Portofino, another Ferrari F12 and a Porsche Macan GTS, which have little to envy the Lamborghinis. But, in addition to telling you all the Lamborghinis that these socialists so close to Pedro Sanchez, We must analyse the context in which the President of the Government uttered this sentence.
For over 25 years, Lamborghini has been part of the German group Volkswagen Group which has kept a factory open in Pamplona since 1984, which in 2023 manufactured 273,273 cars90% of which is exported, with a workforce of more than 5,000 workers. But Volkswagen is also building a battery gigafactory in Valencia that will generate 3,000 direct jobs and 30,000 indirect ones, with an investment of 4.5 billion euros. So it doesn’t seem very appropriate that the president of the Spanish government is making fun of the owner of Lamborghini.
In 2023, Lamborghini surpassed the 10,000 units sold worldwide. The list of countries where they sell the most is directed USA, Next come Germany, China and the United Kingdom, with Italy, France and Switzerland also appearing; and closing with India in 14th place with 103 units sold. But unfortunately, Spain is not even included, since only 46 vehicles of this luxury brand were sold there last year.
But if we do not take into account the population of each country, the above data is misleading. For example, in Spain last year, almost one Lamborghini was sold per million inhabitants, while in China this figure reached only 0.6 and in India 0.07. Taking into account the inhabitants of each country, this ranking It is led by Switzerland, with 23.71 Lamborghinis sold per million inhabitants, followed by the UK (11.96), Germany (11:47), Australia (10,11), Canada (9.17), USA (9.0), South Korea (8.41), Italy (6.94), Taiwan (5.59) and Japan (5.28). Thus, without realizing it, we have practically reproduced the Index of Economic Freedom prepared by the Heritage Foundation, as an indicator of legal security, economic growth and public policies. Index in which Spain occupies mediocrity rank 55 out of 184 inside ranking worldwide, and the worst is 31 out of 38 in the OECD countries ranking. That is why so few Lamborghinis are sold here.
The sale of Lamborghinis is directly related to the economic freedom present in each country, which in turn has been shown to be correlated with political freedom and the well-being of the population. So, in addition to not being very smart, Pedro Sanchez speak out against the Volkswagen Group, which invests so much in generate jobs in SpainWishing that fewer Lamborghinis are sold in our country is asking everyone let us be less prosperous and free, which is what socialism has always achieved throughout the world. So, for the good of all, more Lamborghinis and less socialism.
