Tell me what you think Pedro Sánchez will do on Monday and I will tell you which party you belong to. The majority of the socialist leaders were pessimistic this Thursday and believed that the president is very emotionally affected and this could lead to his irrevocable resignation. On the other hand, the PP believes that everything is a crude maneuver, a ruse, to try to emerge stronger from this crisis. Until Monday everything is pure speculation because Sánchez himself has been confined with his family and since the publication of the letter he has barely maintained contact with his main collaborators, to whom he limits himself to answering with mobile messages. . Beyond the letter, any interpretation you want to make is, therefore, a useless exercise.
The great argument of the socialist leadership to try to convince its leader is that his surrender will mean victory and the achievement of the objective of all those he criticizes, that is, the triumph of “the political and media right and extreme right.” . The leaders of the PSOE and the Government hope that in this period that Sánchez has given himself, he will reconsider with his family and not give up the battle as lost. “Is all this worth it?” is the key question that has to be asked internally. Which is the best for him, for his family and also for the rest of the Spaniards, given the consequences that his resignation would have.
The decision to freeze his decision until Monday has left everyone stunned and the echo it has had in the international press has not been positive either for Sánchez himself or for the image of Spain. The various exits to this box of thunder that he has opened go beyond his resignation or his continuity, through other formulas such as the question of trust or the announcement that he will not run for re-election again.
His controversial decision has left the start of the Catalan electoral campaign that began this Thursday night in the background. This Friday morning at 9 a.m. the first debate organized by La Vanguardia and RAC1 will be held, with the candidates who obtained parliamentary representation in the last elections. The game opens, and the future of Pedro Sánchez is going to end up having an influence on the vote.
