The PSOE certifies Sánchez's downfall and activates the 'survival of the fittest' operation
Is Pedro Sánchez in his final stretch? An article from Vozpópuli, dated September 5, 2026, asserts that the Prime Minister faces a perfect storm: the police report regarding Ceuta, the rebellion of municipalities (town halls), the crisis within his Cabinet, and discreditation inside his own party. The performance, an art Sánchez has mastered like a magician, no longer conceals weakness.
The internal crisis of the PSOE
The party is dismantled. Among Sanchismo (the movement around Sánchez), no one measures up, and the only viable exit suggested is a dry dock: abandoning Sanchismo and starting anew. Some analysts hold that this is achievable in four years, but the reality is that the PSOE appears to be a ship adrift. As has been said, the PSOE is a cancer that spreads, and not even Zapatero’s political death stopped it.
Ceuta and crisis management
The Ceuta crisis has been the trigger. The government has decided to declassify information from the CNI and CESID regarding what occurred, but many consider this a belated and cosmetic measure. Meanwhile, presenter Pablo Motos, on El Hormiguero, has sunk Sánchez in half a minute for lying to the Spanish people about the invasion encouraged by Segarro. Sánchez's plan, it is argued, is to do nothing and let time pass, as he did with La Palma, Valencia, or Adamuz.
And the alternative?
The opposition also inspires little confidence. Feijóo is seen as soft, useless, repeating what he is told from Ferraz. Some hope he will surround himself with better people, but partitocracy has led to the best individuals pursuing other endeavors. Politics attracts the least suitable, and mediocrity spreads. In this scenario, some predict that the far-right will have to restore order—an idea not universally shared.
In short, Sánchez clings to his throne like a political corpse while his party prepares for 'survival of the fittest.' The end of the legislature promises to be stormy, and no one seems to have a clear plan. Irony: he who always had a script now cannot find his own.
