Rafa Nadal. Saul Craviotto. Ilia Topurie. Jorge Martin. Dani Carvajal. All are the best in their sporting disciplines. They are all great athletes who gave much glory to Spain. And all are equally united by the lack of Pedro Sanchez. Nadal, Craviotto, Topuria, Martín and Carvajal are among the great Spanish athletes, world figures, whom the President of the Government does not congratulate for their successes. The list is long, although these five might be the greatest representatives of the sectarianism of Sanchez.
After a week without the leader of the National Executive having dedicated a single word to Rafa Nadal, the most important Spanish athlete in history, we review the long list of ignored for a Pedro Sánchez who only congratulates based on who he believes he is ideologically like him. Quite an exercise sectarianism.
Sánchez forgot Nadal, but also other great figures who are athletes who have given many glories to Spain and who, in addition, also have a great international image. We are talking about high performance athletes recognized nationally and globally, pride of the country. For example, of Saul Craviottowho won his sixth Olympic medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, becoming the most decorated Spaniard. He did not receive a single message from Sánchez.
Ilia Topuria He also gave several sporting glories to Spain. In January it was proclaimed UFC World Champion and last October he retained the belt in his last high-profile fight in the United Arab Emirates. Pedro Sánchez also did not have time to congratulate a Topuria who proudly carried the name and flag of Spain, in addition to having “invented” a new very popular sport in our country.
Last Sunday, and on a Spanish circuit like Montmeló, Jorge Martin He was proclaimed MotoGP world champion, a great achievement for the Spanish sport. This is a great triumph for a rider from Madrid who fought throughout the season to win the most important title in the motorcycle world championship. However, Sánchez also did not congratulate Jorge Martín and refused to recognize what was another success of Spanish sport.
And what will we say about Daniel Carvajaldefender of Real Madrid and the Spanish team, one of the best players in the world, whose number plate was taken by Sánchez for the viral salute after the Euro. That day, at the reception of the Moncloa PalaceCarvajal was not the only one to express his displeasure with Sánchez clinging to power, but the image that went around the world was that of Carvajal.
These five great Spanish athletes – Rafa Nadal, Saúl Craviotto, Ilia Topuria, Jorge Martín and Dani Carvajal – were ignored by Pedro Sánchez, but they are not the only ones. Also Emmanuel Reyes Plaa Spanish boxer who won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games, found himself without the well-deserved congratulations of the president of all Spaniards.
Pedro Sánchez, who traveled through Paris with the accused Begoña Gómez to use the Olympic Games as a parapet against the scandals that surrounded him (and which were not as much as today), did not congratulate the athletes who have won an Olympic medal like Pau Echaniz (slalom), Joan Moreno and Diego Dominguez (canoe) and Rodrigo Germade, Marcus Cooper and Carlos ArévaloSaúl Craviotto’s successful canoe companions in Paris.
