According to the prestigious British economics media, The Economist, the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, is a “dictator” and predicted that the economy and institutions of the Iberian country are deteriorating rapidly.
This comes after Sánchez declared to the press that “We continue forward with or without the support of the Legislature,” said the president.
Thus, The Economist highlights about Sánchez:
«His political tactics are done solely in order to stay in power […]. In the presidency since 2018, Sánchez is the last survivor of European politics, a cunning and ruthless strategist.
The Economist radically criticizes Pedro Sánchez’s alliance with Charles Puigdemont, leader of the Junts party, who is wanted in Spain for sedition after seeking the independence of Catalonia with the so-called “Demcratic Tornado” in 2018.
The review distances itself from the Spanish president and contradicts the official figures that the Spanish economy is going on the right track. In fact, democracy and freedom in that country, since the arrival of Sánchez, has been losing ground and the purchasing power of the Spanish is increasingly less.
To this, The Economist adds: “The abrupt turns in matters of State simply to remain in power have contributed to fueling public cynicism about Spanish democracy,” warns the magazine, which includes internal criticism from a former socialist minister: ” As has happened with the amnesty, this is a constitutional reform through the back door.
The magazine also highlights the important corruption that surrounds Sánchez’s inner circle, such as the case of Begoña Gómez, his wife, who is involved in corruption and influence peddling scandals.
Sánchez’s relationship with the press is also increasingly devious and heated. The most recent case is against journalist Vito Quiles who was denied entry to Congress to cover or interview judges or political figures.
A weak and inefficient opposition helps keep Sánchez in power
The Economist also says that Pedro Sánchez’s opposition is “weak and inefficient.” Despite the prevarication of which Begoña Gómez is accused, the opposition led by the Popular Party (PP) did not achieve a minimum unity agreement, nor a national identity that would allow Spaniards to unite them into a single force against the PSOE. , Pedro Sánchez’s party.
“Sánchez’s main asset is an ineffective and divided opposition,” concludes the British magazine and highlights “the decline of Vox” and the new insurgency gathered around Se Acabó La Fiesta, which achieved 4.6% of the vote in the elections. recent European elections and which also has no chance of growing electorally. Well, with the right unable to unite and bring together a common purpose, Spanish socialism has ample room to continue governing the country for several more years, according to the magazine.
Added to this is the commitment and frontal defense of Rodríguez Zapatero to Nicolás Maduro and the move of Edmundo González, by granting him political asylum in Spain, as elected president of Venezuela, leaving María Corina Machado alone in that country without her political support.
