After a corruption investigation against his wife was revealed, the president of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez“they seek stability internally and victimize themselves externally,” stated an expert consulted by 24 HORAS.
The Spanish leader surprised everyone by announcing that I would reflect if he continues to lead his mandate, a situation that he assured will report today to the citizenship and means of communication.
“This decision of his own Sánchez “It addresses two issues: one at an internal level for stabilization, to gather internal support, and another at an external level as a kind of victimization towards public opinion due to personal attacks on his wife,” said Manuel Andreu Gálvez, an academic at the University panameric.
“I see that this process of polarization and personal attacks, in a war between parties in this system of liberals and conservatives in a decadent politics that Spanish society is experiencing,” added the analyst.
Usually public, Sánchez remained in self-imposed silence, a totally unprecedented decision that is disconcerting in Spain.
Sánchez announced on Wednesday, through a letter published on social networks, that he was canceling all his public commitments until today, when he will reveal whether he will resign, fed up with the opposition’s attacks on his wife, Begoña Gomez, for his alleged professional relationship with companies that received public aid.
A fact that they do not remember precedents, and that gave way to absolute silence from the socialist leader.
CATALUÑA
If there is a region in Spain that was a stronghold of Sánchez, both in the internal socialist battles and in the general elections, it is Catalonia.
Under his command, the socialists recovered the mayoralty of Barcelona after a 12-year hiatus, and they seem ready to win the government of the region in the May 12 elections.
However, the start of the regional electoral campaign last Thursday was done without him and his absence ended up as the main issue of the first rallies.
“From your individual resistance we call to raise a collective resistance and we tell you, Pedro, that we are with you!”, launched the socialist candidate to lead Catalonia, Salvador Illajoining the expressions of support with which the left tries to make Sánchez stay.
Demonstrations of support from socialist militants are expected until today.
The others parties Catalans, on the other hand, downplayed the reasons given by Sánchez for leaving, among which he cited being “deeply” in love with his wife.
The reactions were divided into two: some, the socialists, who supported a leader whom they consider unfairly treated, and the others, the opposition, who doubts the sincerity of a gesture that they believe responds to some strategy.
There is no certainty of what Sánchez will decide, but the possibility is presumed that he will call a motion of confidence so that the Congress reiterate your support, or resign.
If it were so, Spain could lead to new elections that could not be held until the summer, a year after the previous ones.
