The Political Resilience and Policy Stances of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez

After eight years in power, recent opinion polls show Pedro Sanchez's Socialist Workers Party is falling in popularity, despite his glossy image abroad. But to unseat Sanchez, Spain's opposition conservative and far-right parties would have to overcome divisions and form a coalition, which isn’t guaranteed.

At least he didn't bend before Trump.

Pedro Sanchez is Europe’s great political survivor ? lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for this joke.
Made me laugh first thing in the morning.

Vox will probably be in next spanish government. Most of spanish media and judiciary are right wing hacks. Franco is still alive and doing well.

In Spain, as in many countries of the world, the economy is going well, for the very rich… for regular people, the quality of life has lowered a lot for the past 20 years.

I think DW note is absurd, Spanish are happy with Sanchez

Focus on Merz, Germany is loosing their pensions and the car industries at a guy who worked for blackrock

You asked a goverment propagandist

Granting illegal aliens a legal status while my relatives waited 15 years for an interview at the embassy in manila.

Corrupt spik😂

guess who ordered this smear campaign…

Viva España!!!

One of the greatest threats to Europe

Nice of Sanchez to speak out against Trump and Israel, but he is way too naive when it comes to China.

That guy is a "bulletproof". Sex scandals, migration chaos, corruption scandals… somehow he always survives. 😒🙄

The Left has gone insane.

President Sanchez has used international politics to avoid talking about what's going on at home: a minister in jail, his brother and his wife are about to stand trial, his party has more indicted members than it has MPs in Congress, highly important political figures are under judicial investigation, and finally, a plot by his party was uncovered to attack the police and judges investigating his family and party.

I've observed that the leaders of the Spanish Socialist Party are highly articulate and rely heavily on sophistry. While this appeals to a segment of the Spanish public, they tend to offer nothing but empty rhetoric when faced with actual crises.

Hero to who 😂😂😂

LOVE HIM

You have to remember there's so many Spanish that are still Franco supporters

I live in Spain from 2016 and I think Pedro Sanchez does a great job.👍

I HATE TRUMP, BUT SANCHEZ IS THE DEATH OF SPAIN.

"Admired abroad"… yeah, by the raft navigators on the Mediterranean

Lmao. Next 5 years i predict riots over immigration

What keeps Sánchez in power is the gross incompetence of the opposition. VOX has no economic program and as they take over the government of more autonomic regions, that will be more obvious, while PP is lead by a man who speaks as he learned Spanish as a second language, or even a third language, but in Duolingo. If Sánchez got tougher on immigration, without copying Trump's ICE, and solved the housing crisis, he could secure a victory in the next election. Otherwise, Spaniards will go for the incompetent opposition out of desperation.

Sanchez is a Communist….🎉

Has DW always been like this or has there been a shift in their reporting? I have followed the channel for years and only started to notice maybe a year or two back.

This guy is not a hero abroad where I am!!

La extrema derecha quiere dar un golpe de estado, no quieren esperar a la elecciones del 2027,

Remove the misinformation the right has been spreading about his wife, his brother and Zapatero and we would get a more real picture

DW has become a soldoff new media to the rich capitalists.

Sounds like a baseless paid smear campaign to me! Wink wink

HE'S TAKING IN PALESTINIANS WHILE IGNORING THE NEEDS OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. WHY DOESN'T SAUDI ARABIA TAKE THE PALESTINIANS. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Europe made a deal about immigrantion, Spain decided to break EUs deal. Where does that leave the rest of us EU members? Why should we stick to rules when Spain breaks them?😮

Spain is not its president. The current president was elected on an alliance of left and separatists parties. The parliament has voted for him to leave and he has literally laughed at the parliament. He has his wife, his brother and close friends all under investigation for corruption and in some cases already in jail. He doesn't care because he already controls most public institutions and the top judicial one, so he can overturn any minor tribunal. He has declared he doesn't need the parliament to rule. He has declared he won't allow the Spaniards to make the mistake to elect anyone but him. Spain's democracy is at best dysfunctional, at worst it is already an autocracy.

Love

i like him

I am Dutch living for more than 30 years in Spain Pedro Sánchez may speak English but he is a liar ( to his own voters) , very corrupt , acts as a dictator, never takes responsibility, His former number two has got 24 years of prison and mora than 100 of his party members are accused of/ suspected of corruption….. his example ex president Jose Luis ( which he defends) is also accused of corruption and still has to explain why he got in his safe at office jewels of more than 1,3 million euros
Pedro Sánchez also defends dictator Maduro …..

We need a translator, it is a pity you allowed the journalist to speak directly in English, she seems to know a lot, but is unable to express it correctly.

Well, almost the entire African population lives under extreme poverty and hunger across the African continent, while the government is irresponsible and full of corruption across Africa continent :l, and causing massive migrations to Europe despite Africa under democracy government :/

Daniel Ch 11:30 The Holy Bible Teaches Were all going to See those in Europe who challenge The Republic of America 🇺🇸 Fall Hard Soon as Prophesied & I Believe & God Bless Germany 🇩🇪
