He could have done something else, but he chose what was best for him. He could have announced his resignation from continuing to lead the PSOE, to then convene an extraordinary congress in which the new secretary general and candidate for the Presidency of the Government in the December elections would be elected. He could have opted for responsibility, for explaining to the Spaniards that it was crazy to risk having to dismantle the structure of political leadership who has taken over the rotating presidency of the European Union. He could have rendered a last service to his party, but he chose to render it to himself. Nothing new under the sun.
Pedro Sanchez He has once again done what interests him the most: a surprising self-defense movement to neutralize the internal opposition and prevent any attempt at rebellion from the growing dissidence.

Sánchez’s decision to bring forward the general elections, right at the start of the six-month presidency of the EU, is an act of abusive self-centeredness, manifest advantage and contempt for the general interests of the country
In a new display of daring, of unfounded arrogance, Sánchez, presenting himself as an alternative after a resounding electoral setback, executes a high-risk bet whose main victims may be the country and his party. the country because the improbable, but not impossible, reissue of the Frankenstein government, would be a test of social, economic and political stress from which Spain would be very badly injured.

She half understood, but at least she tried. Sanchez no. Sánchez, with this audacious ruse, what he is transmitting to all of us, starting with his fellow party members, is that we are the ones who have not understood the message of the progressive government (sic), and for this reason, in application of his lofty magnificence He’s going to give us another chance.
