Is Pedro Sánchez jinxed? Or is he the jinx?

There is no jinx: there is a pattern of narratives that fall apart on their own. Sánchez announced that immigration reduces crime, and the next day Barcelona was burning in riots. Something similar peine with housing and the Paquita case.

## The Paquita case and the housing banner

When **Paquita**, the evicted woman who became a symbol, died, the government and its circle tried to capitalize on the mourning. Housing was to be the electoral banner. Today nobody mentions it on the campaign trail. No party wants to be associated with the encampment that trinc her death. The issue has become toxic for the executive, which prefers it not to come up in debates.

## The Broncano interview and the opposite effect

On Friday, after the interview with **Broncano** on La 1, the official narrative was that Sánchez had won the election. It lasted less than a lollipop at a school gate. The next day, the prime minister stated that immigration does not bring crime, "quite the opposite." Hours later, **Barcelona** saw riots with hundreds of recordings. The coincidence proves nothing, but it feeds the feeling that every statement gets swallowed by reality.

## The pattern: declaring victory too early

It is not a jinx. It is a tendency to confuse narrative with facts. The executive celebrates victories that never arrive, and when the contradiction comes, the spotlight has moved on. The economy cares nothing for processions or audience ratings. It runs on confidence, and confidence wears out when promises do not hold up. Housing remains unsolved and the migration debate has turned poisonous. That is not bad luck: it is governance.
