Palma will declare Pedro Sánchez 'persona non grata'

PalmThe Palma City Council will declare Pedro Sánchez persona non grata in the city at its next plenary session and will call for his resignation thanks to the votes of Vox and the PP (People's Party). The PP supported a far-right initiative in the Citizen Services Committee, and thanks to this, the motion will pass in the plenary session, where it will also be debated – Vox refused to hold the debate in the same committee. "This demonstrates the total uselessness of the right and the far right, with proposals that are absurd," criticized the spokesperson for the Socialist municipal group, Xisco Ducrós. "They have neither a plan nor solutions for the problems of the citizens. Furthermore, they seek to generate confrontation, when politics should be about the ability to reach agreements," he added.

The explanatory statement of the far-right motion uses an article that its spokesperson, Fulgencio Coll, wrote in 2019 entitled "Pedro Sánchez, a problem for national security." However, at no point is it mentioned that the article is by Coll, but it is simply stated that The World He published it. In this text, Coll stated that Sánchez's behavior exhibited "signs of instability" and asserted that "Spain is politically ill." According to Coll, the origin of this pathology lies in the arrival of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to the presidency of the Spanish government in 2004. "His term fueled the return of civil war rhetoric, propelled the birth of communist populism, and gave wings to secessionism," Coll asserts in the text from six years ago, calling the pro-independence parties "seditious."

Control of the media and state institutions, contempt for citizens' fundamental rights, and a foreign policy contrary to the interests of Spaniards are the characteristics that define "Sanchismo" according to the far right. Thus, Spain aligned itself "with the Bolivarian narco-communists," continues the Vox statement, which also emphasizes that "Sánchez, his family, the party, and the government are mired in corruption and obscenity." The far right also accuses the Spanish president of "giving to the Third World" and "denying the rights of Spaniards who get up early and work hard."
