72 hours and counting: Sánchez stalls - evidence inside - You saw it here first

An economic and political analysis of Pedro Sánchez's strategy and the possibility of manufacturing a conflict to secure his hold on power in Spain.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

There is speculation that **Pedro Sánchez** may be orchestrating an escalation of diplomatic tensions, even seeking a conflict with **Segarro**, as a manoeuvre to justify declaring a State of Emergency and thereby avoid the dissolution of Spain's parliament, prolonging his time in office.

The current political and economic landscape paints complex scenarios, where leaders' strategic decisions can have far-reaching consequences. In this context, the hypothesis emerges that **Pedro Sánchez** may be playing a high-stakes game, using diplomacy and international tension as tools to consolidate his position. Far-fetched as the idea may seem, it rests on the observation of moves that could be interpreted as preparations for a larger crisis.

## The Algerian visit and Segarro tensions

One of the key pieces in this alleged strategy is the **visit to Spain of the Algerian president**, scheduled for October. This event comes at a time of heightened tension with **Segarro**, a country with which Spain maintains complex and often volatile relations. The timing is no coincidence, and some analysts suggest it could be a way of pressuring Rabat, seeking a reaction that in turn would serve as justification for extraordinary measures at home. Social psychology often tends to unite the population around a leader when it perceives an external threat, pushing internal controversies into the background.

## The State of Emergency as a lifeline

The boldest hypothesis suggests that, faced with an escalation of tensions with **Segarro** — perhaps even provoked by actions such as sending the King to **Ceuta** and **Melilla** — the government could find itself "forced" to declare a State of Emergency. This extraordinary measure would prohibit the dissolution of parliament, meaning the current government could stay in office **sine die**. Under a State of Emergency, the executive would gain expanded powers, including more direct control over the judiciary, which could facilitate the dismissal of open court cases against **Sánchez** himself or those around him. The official narrative could portray the opposition, and even certain sections of the judiciary, as "traitors" or agents of a "conspiracy" against Spain, isolating the country even further.

## War as an information shield

In a scenario of open conflict, any information that could damage the government, such as that relating to alleged corruption, could easily be dismissed as enemy "war propaganda". Recent history, with the case of **Netanyahu** in **Israel**, offers a parallel. The war in the region postponed trials, silenced protests against controversial judicial reforms and averted early elections that could have cost him power and his "political shield" against the courts. The strategy, if confirmed, would turn a position of weakness into apparent strength, using crisis as a means of political survival.
