The President of the Government and PSOE candidate for the general elections on 23J, Pedro Sánchez, joins the celebration of World Dog Day, a date on which the care and protection of these beloved animals in our country are claimed.

The chief executive has uploaded a photo to his Twitter account in which he appears in the gardens of the Palacio de la Moncloa with his two dogs, one of them water, as he explained on the La pija y la Quinqui podcast. “Happy World Dog Day”, he wrote in a short text.

But the Twitter madness has been unleashed when the official account of the PSOE has published another congratulations. Same text, but added the image of the viral meme about the President of the Government: “The sanxe dog knows more for a dog than for a sanxe”, alluding to the Spanish proverb. In the photo, a dog adjusting his tie, pretending to be the chief executive.

That term went viral thanks to a six-year-old boy, when he was skiing in Navacerrada. He said it in 2020 before a Telemadrid microphone, at the same time that the Government began to close services due to the pandemic: “Do not close, Perro Sánchez, you are the worst.”

But users and progressive voters have turned that meme on its head. Now, he represents almost a superhero in the form of a dog, an image that the PSOE clings to. “The ‘perro sanxe’ thing freaks me out because on the one hand there is a tweeter-facha who uses it as an insult and then there are those of us who have resignified it and in our heads it is almost a show of affection,” Mr. Handsome wrote on Twitter, a parody of the chief executive.

The congratulations for World Dog Day from the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez has not only gone viral on Twitter, but has also been highly commented on Instagram. On that social network, the chief executive uploaded the same photo along with his dog and the song Perra by Rigoberta Bandini.
