Pedro Sánchez wanted to be more Perro Sanxe than ever and ended up being Sánchez, the president who has to improvise by throwing the pieces of the puzzle into the air to see if they fit together perfectly. At a time when his party is shaking in several regions due to the repercussions of the agreement with ERC, Sánchez chose in the last press conference before the holidays to show the aspect of the action movie hero who knows that everything will end well despite being shot at from all sides. It is a pity that no political leader can pretend to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the middle of a shootout. It is not enough to solve everything with a well-aimed shot and say ‘see you later, baby’.
“In these eight months, we have not stopped,” he said in his opening remarks, trying to show that his government is not running on autopilot after failing to approve a budget. Everything is going swimmingly, although it is true that the economic situation could not be better in general terms. “You have heard me say that the economy is going like a rocket,” he said. You have surely heard him say it, because he repeats it frequently. Politics is more than just the sum of employment, inflation and GDP. There are other battlefields where a government can go off the rails.
