A Pedro Sanchez he did not like the speech that he had to give during the Debate on the State of the Nation, and that his chief of staff presented to him last Friday Oscar Lopez, because it contained “neither epic nor marketing”. Accustomed to the electoral propaganda of his former chief of staff Ivan Round, whom some in Moncloa “miss more every day”, who on occasions like this week dressed up speeches practically empty of content as grandiloquence, the president did not like the pragmatic tone of the intervention prepared by the writers of La Moncloa -led by López-. Sanchez I wanted more pomposity and more concrete messages that they repeat themselves and that they sink into the subconscious. A more American discourse and not “of the old Spanish politics.”
That was the reason why, mid-afternoon on Friday, he threw the papers that his right hand had given him to the ground next to a “this is bullshit”. And there is nothing that bothers Pedro Sánchez more than mistakes with his speeches. He has one obsession with the image projected in interventions public. Hence, after several years with a novelist like Luisge Martin at the head of the engine room, now assigned to the Cervantes Institute in Miami as director, has hired a professional like Jesus Perea -who resigned as number two of Jose Luis Escriva some days ago-. When Perea was on paternity leave, it was Óscar López who was in charge of supervision until, on the same Friday, she separated him from said functions.
The head of the Executive, according to sources present in the corridors of La Moncloa where the scene took place, “went into a rage” after reading the draft that his chief of staff had presented to him this Friday. It is a fairly common state in Sánchez when he gets angry. “It’s normal,” cabinet workers point out, seeing him shout through the corridors of the building that houses the Presidency of the Government. This Friday was one of those times. Before several people, after Óscar López presented the document with the different proposals that he is going to present today Tuesday in Congress, Pedro Sánchez has rejected the text. Throughout the weekend, under the supervision of another person from the cabinet whose name has not been disclosed, a new team led by a collaborator whose name has not been disclosed, has worked to have ready the text that he will read this noon during hour and half.
