The alleged socialist rebellion against Sánchez that nobody believes
Socialist leaders threaten to leave the party, or so the press headlines would have us believe, but skepticism in the forum is total. The reality that prevails is that, after years of amnesties, deals with ETA terrorists and gender laws, the supposed break-up over a letter is seen as theatre by shameless politicians who will not give up their seats as long as there is something left to divide up.
Is the discontent real or pure political theatre?
Most forum users agree that the threat to abandon the PSOE (Spain's Socialist Party) is a farce. You don't play with your livelihood, and the party's recent history shows that its leaders have swallowed every kind of controversial policy without lifting a finger. Some point out ironically that, instead of leaving, the most likely outcome is that some will look for a place on platforms like Sumar, keeping their ability to live off the public purse fully intact.
The press and the game of musical chairs
The criticism of the media is fierce: the authenticity of the letters is questioned, as is the real relevance of the mayors supposedly leading this rebellion. While some see this as a last chance to get rid of the "supreme leader", others argue there is no real alternative and that the party, more than a political organisation, works as a fortified power structure where nobody dares to take the definitive step. The question left hanging is whether anyone really has the courage to break voting discipline or whether it is all media noise to calm the rank and file.
