Pedro Sánchez and the Flood Disaster
Pedro Sánchez has not yet resigned over the flood disaster, but the People's Party (PP) is already faltering.
Opposing a corrupt, authoritarian government that is destroying the rule of law is a challenge only for brave people. One year after the disaster in Valencia, Pedro Sánchez's actions to prevent it from happening again are being questioned.
Pedro Sánchez took 4 days to order a large military deployment and justified it by lying.
This Monday it became clear once again who is failing to rise to the occasion in a moment like the one Spain is experiencing. The national leadership of the PP has repeated its strategy of sacrificing its own members, pressuring Carlos Mazón, president of the Valencian Community, to resign amid a campaign by the left to place all political responsibility on him for the catastrophic floods of a year ago.
- The PP leadership has been criticized for its handling of the situation.
- Carlos Mazón's resignation has been forced amid a campaign by the left.
