Spain is now going through moments of political turmoil after the result of the recent municipal elections gave victory to the Popular Party, which is now having stellar moments after going through low hours a few years ago in the political sphere due to a scandal that put its position on the balance. credibility.
Now the Conservative Party, led by Alberto Núñez Feijoois in good health and has recovered his constituents and a few others, the same ones that led him to take the lead in the race for the succession of Pedro Sánchez, the current inhabitant of Moncloa, who in a marketing game electoral, has advanced the general elections for this same summer, selecting July 23 as D-day for voting.
Sánchez had no choice but to carry out this movement to prevent:
- Index hide
The parties organize themselves to prepare their strategies and their candidates.
Taking the electorate in the middle of the summer vacation which prevents a massive vote.
Protect himself from his own co-religionists who no longer see him as the great leader; the PSOE became blurred and the alliance with Podemos, to form a government, ended up weakening it.
Regardless of the development of the previous scenarios, Pedro Sánchez, in a kamikase act and surely advised by his war room that he previously led Ivan Redondodrew the sword to challenge his opponent to a series of debates (six in total) to try to corner and snatch the momentum of Feijoó who achieved, as we mentioned, the victory for his party (Popular Party) in the last election.
The campaigns are a game of chess where each move is calculated; you cannot lose the king figure to a misplaced bishop and each contestant has to think through the moves by looking at his own watch and anticipating what the opponent will do. The campaigns, the good campaigns (there are many bad ones), are those where the war room thoroughly studies the opponents to suggest the winning route and achieve a real connection with the citizens.
In the case of Spain, the election on July 23 will be a referendum with a single question: Pedro Sánchez YES or Pedro Sánchez NO?
The current president of the government, aware of his political reality, proposed the aforementioned debates (he previously dismissed them because he did not need them), to set the campaign agenda and try to see himself on television screens as more eloquent than Feijoó, hoping for a miracle that would allow to survive.
A fact that points to selectivity. *Sánchez, by only inviting Feijoó to a face-to-face (debate), leaves aside and dismisses the entire Spanish party spectrum such as Vox, Podemos and Sumar; this act places Sánchez again as the solo politician, or perhaps as he points it out Yolanda DiazSánchez’s partner who defines him this way: ¨Pedro’s last occurrence serves to demonstrate his growing loneliness¨.
The debates are here to stay within the marketing electoral and are necessary to contrast the ideas of the candidates although they do not always add votes at the end.
We’ll meet later.
