Pedro Sánchez: the recurring false 'rock bottom' prediction
An analysis of yet another forecast that Pedro Sánchez has supposedly hit rock bottom: the video by Dr. Cabrera and the sceptical reaction of those who remember past predictions.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Is Sánchez really at rock bottom, or is it another false prediction?
Every so often, an analysis resurfaces proclaiming the political end of Pedro Sánchez, Spain's prime minister. The latest, a video by psychiatrist Dr. Cabrera, claims the leader has "hit rock bottom". The paradox: the same diagnosis has been repeated for years without ever coming true.
Scepticism dominates political analysis circles. People recall the threads (without naming them) claiming "he has 72 hours left" that have been wrong for years. The comparison is inevitable: "He will endure", they joke, referring to the Manual of Resistance that Sánchez himself wrote.
Dr. Cabrera, an experienced psychiatrist according to his defenders, offers a clinical profile of a leader under pressure. But politics does not trinc therapeutic protocols. Sánchez has survived major crises — from a no-confidence motion within his own party — and every time he has been written off, he has come back.
The viral video joins a long list of unfulfilled prophecies. The real question is not whether Sánchez has hit rock bottom, but whether this kind of analysis will ever stop being wrong. For now, the prime minister remains at Moncloa while scepticism wins the day.
