Forum Speculates on Sánchez's Reaction to a July 23 Election Loss

If Pedro Sánchez loses the July 23 elections, the question is not whether he will leave, but how. The discussion that has emerged among forum participants starts from an uncomfortable premise: the Spanish Prime Minister is not a conventional politician, and his reaction to defeat will hardly trinc the script. The most repeated hypothesis is not resignation, but relocation: a position in an international body that allows him to continue living his personal narrative.

The original post summarized it bluntly: a cornered psychopath is, for practical purposes, a trapped animal. And a trapped animal, said the author of the opening message, might start shooting from the balcony of Ferraz (PSOE headquarters) on election night before taking their own life. The scene is extreme, but it serves to measure the temperature of the debate: some participants do not rule out an off-script reaction.

The Track Record of a Born Survivor

Those who know his history recall that in 2016 he was politically dead and returned to the fray within six months. This fact, repeated in the conversation, supports the thesis of a comeback. He is not a man who accepts retirement. He is, they say, a power addict for whom losing it means losing the engine that keeps him standing. If you take that away, the wires could cross.

The most cited precedent is from the PSOE federal committee, when, seeing he was losing the vote, he went to the ballot box and tried to hide it behind curtains. It is not a minor anecdote: it describes someone who, faced with defeat, does not accept the result and seeks a physical escape. Another remembered episode is the election night of November 2019, when, after losing nearly a million votes, he silenced his supporters from the podium at Ferraz.

His demeanor during the last debate also provided material. Some claim he was medicated and at his limit, and that in a fit of rage he would be capable of anything. The darkest hypothesis—assaulting an intern bringing him a glass of water—has no backing, but circulates as a symptom of the level of unease.

The NATO Option: The Golden Retirement No One Rules Out

The most pragmatic current points to an institutional destination. NATO, the UN, or any similar body appear in the conversation as possible havens. The argument is that these institutions are populated by what one participant calls without hesitation "the worst scum on the planet," and that a profile like his would fit right in. Toxicity would not be an obstacle, but a resume asset.

His management history also favors this exit. He was already a board member of Caja Madrid’s Assembly under Miguel Blesa, demonstrating he knows how to keep quiet about high-level corruption matters. That counts for a lot on certain resumes.

The other side of the coin would be represented by Irene Montero, who is seen in a much more difficult position to find a haven. The comparison with Macarena Olona has also appeared: an egomaniac who, after losing the Andalusian elections, took sick leave, faked an illness to leave with dignity, and ended up founding her own party. No one imagines her enduring in the opposition benches.

Electoral Fraud as the Perfect Alibi

There is a third path gaining weight: that of the person who does not accept the result because they consider it illegitimate beforehand. The first thing he did when calling the elections, they recall, was warn that he would be accused of electoral fraud (*pucherazo*). The tactic is old: establish the frame before the data arrives. With postal votes doubled compared to 2019 and Correos (Spanish Postal Service) under government control, the margin for sowing doubt is set.

The false flag attack hypothesis has also appeared, although those who launch it immediately dismiss it. It is not a forecast, but a symptom: distrust in the electoral process has ceased to be marginal among part of the electorate. Agenda 2030, the Falcon jet, the Moncloa lock, and even a presidential parachute complete the catalog of scenarios, between black humor and real concern.

What Will He Do If He Wins? The Scenario Almost No One Questions

The paradox is that, amid the catastrophism, some remind us that victory remains the most likely hypothesis. If he wins, they say, we will see the faces. Agenda 2030 will be implemented anyway, and hell will be mild for those who doubt. It is not a prediction, but a warning thrown into the air.

The underlying problem, another current points out, is not the president but the millions of people who vote for him. If there are millions of psychopaths in Spain, the diagnosis is different. The discussion about Sánchez's reaction is, in reality, a discussion about the country that sustains him.

The Falcon, La Moncloa, and the Open Ending

The most repeated image is that of the president crashing the Falcon plane into La Moncloa (the official residence) in a final act of rage, so that no one else enjoys his two great loves: the plane and the palace. It is a hyperbole, but it condenses the collective imagination. Also that of the one destroying La Moncloa like an evicted tenant: electrical installation, door handles, mattresses, doors.

No one knows what will happen. The only certainty is that July 23 will not be a quiet night at Ferraz. And that, win or lose, the character does not intend to disappear.
