#MeToo is apparently running rampant in the “progressive” regime.
The current government of Spain under Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez seems to be both financially and morally corrupt.
In an article posted on Sunday, December 14, the generally left-of-center Politico news site detailed the situation that reeks of hypocrisy:
“Spain’s governing Socialist Party is being battered by a deluge of sexual harassment scandals that is prompting the resignation or dismissal of mayors, regional leaders and even officials employed in the prime minister’s palace.
“Within the party, there’s open recognition that its self-proclaimed status as the country’s premier progressive political entity is being severely undermined. The scandals are also provoking major fractures within Sánchez’s coalition government and parliamentary alliance, with even his most reliable collaborators demanding he make major changes — or call snap elections….
Spain’s Socialists are no strangers to scandal…But the scale of the sexual harassment scandals revealed in recent days — which have coincided with anti-corruption raids in government buildings — represent an unprecedented challenge for the prime minister…”
The Socialists are already under investigation for financial fraud “but the scale of the sexual harassment scandals revealed in recent days — which have coincided with anti-corruption raids in government buildings — represent an unprecedented challenge for the prime minister,” Politico asserted.
A coverup of allegations about one of Sanchez’s cronies “has resulted in a version of the #MeToo movement within the Socialists’ ranks,” Politico added.
The head of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), Sanchez is narrowly hanging on to power in a coalition with several smaller leftist parties.
The conservative-leaning People’s Party (PP), won the most seats in the Congress of Deputies in the July 2023 national election, but not enough to take control, resulting in Sanchez forming a minority government.
Politico recalled what happened when the PM originally took office:
“When Sanchez came to power in 2018 he boasted that he led ‘the most feminist government in history,’ with 11 of the country’s 17 ministries led by women. Over the past seven years his successive administrations have passed legislation to ensure gender balance in key sectors, fight gender-based violence and promote gender equality abroad. But the actions of some of Sanchez’s fellow Socialists are fueling growing skepticism about whether the governing party truly respects women.”
According to France24, “Analysts warn that the party risks eroding support that has historically given it a wide lead among women over the…PP.”
During a press conference on Monday in which he acknowledge his party’s mistakes, Sanchez — who gives off similar inauthentic, clout-chasing vibes as would-be U.S. Democrat presidential candidate Gavin Newsom — insisted about his team that “we feel full of determination, of conviction, and also of energy.”
Sanchez might be full of something else, but he could also perhaps be speaking accurately if he is referring to energy for misconduct.
Conviction, however, might be an awkward choice of words in these circumstances.
According to The Economist, Prime Minister Sanchez is “the leader of Europe’s anti-Trump resistance.”
In addition to his devotion to DEI, Sanchez is an open-borders fanatic and a climate change alarmist who is pro censorship, pro Ukraine war, and yet another pandering EU office-holder spewing Hamas propaganda.
In October, President Trump floated the idea of raising tariffs on Spain over its failure to pay its fair share into NATO.
Spain’s next general election is scheduled for 2027.
Under a parliamentary system, however, an election could be called earlier if circumstances change – such as the smaller parties withdrawing their support from the PSOE.
For now, leftist politicians seem to be prioritizing ideology over accountability, however.
In that context, Politico explained that “The Socialists’ parliamentary allies are reluctant to see Sanchez fall because they know snap elections will almost certainly produce a right-wing government influenced by the far-right Vox party. But they are also wary of being associated misogyny and fraud — especially if voters may soon be heading to the polls.”
For the corporate media that covers European politics, any populist group that is serious about halting mass immigration – including U.K.’s Reform Party — is superficially dismissed as right wing.
