Massive protest in Madrid to call for the resignation of Pedro Sánchez

The authoritarian drift of Pedro Sánchez's government, his corruption scandals, and his incompetence have received a new response today.

Blackout: Spain follows in the footsteps of Cuba and Venezuela on its journey to the Third World
A blackout with deaths and no resignations: socialism never admits mistakes in Spain

The Platform for Constitutional Spain, which brings together 129 civic associations, has called for a protest in Madrid's Plaza de Colón that brought together tens of thousands of people to demand Sánchez's resignation and the calling of new elections. The protest was supported by two of the three most popular parties in Spain, the Popular Party and Vox. The demonstration was well attended despite the inclement weather this morning in Madrid. Numerous Spanish flags were waved at the protest, and the National Anthem was played.

As usual, the government has only issued disqualifications against the democratic opposition protesters, criticism that the government never directs at its allies who call for tributes to ETA terrorists and events in which Spanish flags are burned. "Today all those who reject all the progress made in this country are demonstrating," said the socialist Óscar López, Minister for Digital Transformation. By "progress," he must be referring to the fact that we are the country with the highest unemployment in Europe and the only one that has had a national blackout, to the government's corruption scandals, to the railway chaos, and to the government's attacks on the rule of law, judges, and the free media. And they still have the nerve to boast about this.
