Bosé Accuses Sánchez of Serving Gates' Agenda 2030
Miguel Bosé claims Pedro Sánchez works for Bill Gates and the UN's 2030 Agenda, echoing an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory during the coronavirus pandemic.
Miguel Bosé Attacks Sánchez Over Links to Bill Gates
In June 2020, as half the world struggled to exit its first lockdown, Miguel Bosé used his Twitter account to target Pedro Sánchez’s government. The trigger was Goalkeepers, a group of leaders promoted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that positions itself as a guarantor of the 2030 Agenda. Within days, this affiliation morphed into a much heavier accusation: that the Spanish Prime Minister works for the American billionaire.
The claim had a specific date and location. On September 24, 2019, in New York, Sánchez spoke about the need for a digital revolution leading to a “new world order in 2030” and warned that planetary resources are exhausted. That video remained buried until the pandemic resurfaced it with a different interpretation.
What is Goalkeepers and what did Sánchez say in New York?
Goalkeepers is the brand under which the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gathers political leaders to monitor pogre on the Sustainable Development Goals. Sánchez is among them and acknowledged this publicly: “Thanks, @BillGates and @gatesfoundation, for the Global Goalkeepers Award. Spain reinforces its commitment to Official Development Assistance.” This message, innocuous in its literal sense, was read by many as the proof they had been waiting for.
On June 6, 2020, the singer had already written: “The WHO makes it clear. Who then are the culprits behind so much damage? Antiestéticarful governments complicit in the Great Conspiracy, the weak and ‘obedient,’ lacking character.” The World Health Organization had just clarified its stance on lockdowns, and the message served to assign blame.
With this material, the theory stretches to include the Club of Rome—founded in April 1968—the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, or the Council on Foreign Relations. The list of acronyms grows endlessly. None turns a coincidence into a plan: this is the classic mechanism of misinformation; the more authentic documentation cited out of context, the more solid the invented conclusion appears.
Lucía Bosé’s Death and the Singer’s Shift
The change in discourse has a personal episode. The artist’s mother, Lucía Bosé, died from cobi19 while he was living in Mexico, facing a dispute with the Spanish Tax Agency (Hacienda) and unable to return for her funeral. For part of the audience, this grief explains the pivot better than any revelation: someone who had never questioned the PSOE began doing so immediately after.
Some buy it, others don’t. The dominant view holds that his conversion came late, for personal reasons and calculated to align with another political camp. A more benevolent reading suggests it is never too late if the outcome is the same. In between lies the uncomfortable reminder: two decades ago he campaigned for Zapatero and now targets the man who emerged from that orbit.
What admits little debate is the oddity of the pattern: yesterday’s defenders turned enemies and yesterday’s enemies turned choir.
From Bunbury to UCAM: The Thesis Spreads
The effect didn’t stop at one singer. Enrique Bunbury aligned with the same theories: insinuating Gates wants to dominate the world and welcoming Trump’s withdrawal of the US from the World Health Organization. On an institutional level, José Luis Mendoza, president of the Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM), went further, calling Gates and Soros “slaves and servants of Satan” regarding an alleged chip implanted via vaccines. None of this has evidentiary support.
Meanwhile, the Princess of Asturias Foundation awarded the 2020 International Cooperation Prize to Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, a vaccination partnership linked to the Gates Foundation. In this climate, the announcement was read as confirmation rather than what it was: an award for an immunization program.
Gavi, ID2020, and the Never-Ending List of Acronyms
Here the narrative becomes more technical and confusing. It is claimed that Gavi not only works with the Gates Foundation but is one of five founding members of the ID2020 Digital Identity Alliance, a digital identity initiative using biometric data and blockchain technology, promoted alongside the Rockefeller Foundation and Microsoft. Real organizations, real projects. However, proof that they pursue the global control attributed to them is nowhere to be found.
Then there is the self-fulfilling prophecy. Gates said the bicho would return in large numbers in October, and the phrase was used as a confession instead of an epidemiological forecast. With this method, any public statement transforms into evidence of guilt. The fine detail—which foundation funds what, who pays, and with what counterparty—is exactly what no one breaks down with numbers on the table.
Why Does a Private Foundation Raise So Many Suspicions?
The subtext is economic. A private foundation funding vaccines, appearing on television, and distributing awards raises suspicions, and one doesn’t need to be a conspiracy theorist to ask why a private fortune influences health policy in dozens of countries. Legitimate suspicion and hoaxes, however, are not the same, and mixing them allows the former to be dismissed.
At the most imaginative end of the chain appears a consultancy, Bain & Company, accused of allegedly raiding companies and ruining them. This is the type of piece repeated without verification and sustained, like almost everything in this matter, by the power of repetition rather than documents.
Ultimately, the interesting question isn’t whether Bosé is right, but what a public figure gains by embracing an unprovable thesis. Snapshot: a millionaire singer living outside Spain, a prime minister thanking awards on Twitter, and an audience that no longer needs proof to believe. The analysis stalls right there, at the exact point where evidence ceases to be a requirement.
