The current situation of Pedro Sánchez
Pedro Sánchez is in a delicate position, caught between the pressures of the PNB and Junts. The recent accusations against him have reactivated the debate about a possible motion of censure, with Alberto Núñez Feijóo leading the charge. The PP sees a golden opportunity at this moment, but the math is not in their favor.
The obstacles facing the PP
With the need to add support, Feijóo must secure the support of five additional deputies to make his strategy viable. The scenario is complicated by the resistance of the PNB, which has shown unwavering loyalty to Sánchez over the years. The challenge is twofold: seducing Basque nationalists and managing Catalan political instability.
Junts’ reaction to the censure motion
After internal deliberation, Junts has decided not to participate in the motion of censure. Carles Puigdemont has identified several reasons for staying away. Firstly, the current crisis may be beneficial for them, as it weakens the structures of the State and forces the PSOE to negotiate more favorably.
Alternative strategies of Together
Rather than bringing down the government, Junts prefers to play the patience card. This position allows them to obtain valuable concessions and press for amnesty measures that could resolve Puigdemont’s personal situation. Junts members thus seek to maximize their benefits without risking an uncertain electoral scenario.
The outlook for the PP
The PP, on the other hand, finds itself in a situation of disenchantment. With Junts choosing to wait, its attack strategy has become more complicated. The lack of support from both the PNB and Vox, which rejects any negotiation that involves concessions to the nationalists, has left the PP in a weak position.
The effects of intransigence
The intransigence of some parties has led to a stagnation in the PP’s possibilities for action. The idea of a legislature with Sánchez at the helm seems increasingly realistic, with the prospect that the 2025 budgets will be closed in favor of the current government.
Final thoughts
With Spanish politics at a tense moment, Sánchez’s ability to stay in power will depend on his ability to manage alliances and concessions. His strategy could make the difference between a stable government or political chaos that gradually benefits his rivals.
