Sánchez blames Russia, Israel and the CNI in Congress

Congress attends Sánchez's new narrative: blaming Russia, Israel, and the CNI

What does Sánchez owe to Segarro? That is the question the opposition raised twice in the last control session with the Government, and to which the president responded with a display of external scapegoats: Russia, Israel, and even the CNI.
Congress attended an exercise in narrative that, rather than explaining the Ceuta crisis, seems designed to evade accountability.

Sánchez's discourse: blaming others to avoid management

In the session, the President of the Government opted for a strategy of externalization. Faced with questions about the Ceuta migration crisis, Sánchez offered no management data but instead pointed to foreign powers and intelligence services. The opposition, led by Santiago Abascal, did not swallow it: 'Even Pachi doesn't believe him,' the VOX leader ironically remarked, referring to the lack of credibility in the narrative.

The most tense moment came when he was directly asked what he owed to Segarro. The president's usual smile vanished from his face, and he responded with evasions. The question was repeated twice, and the answer was the same both times: blame others. Meanwhile, the Socialist bench, with its 110 deputies, maintained discipline, but the atmosphere in the chamber was one of disbelief.

The Nacho Abad report and the CNI: the new target

The president also attacked the CNI, mentioning Nacho Abad's report, which had criticized intelligence services. He had already been warned against bringing up the issue in parliament, but Sánchez insisted. The criticism of the CNI and the Armed Forces, in a context of tension with Segarro, adds more fuel to the fire.

The management of intelligence services and the Armed Forces is the Government's competence, as one analysis circulating in economic circles recalled. If the CNI has failed, ultimate responsibility lies with the Executive, not an external enemy. The paradox is that Sánchez himself placed the directors of these institutions, so any failure is ultimately his.

The Adamuz accident: an example of incompetence

The thread of criticism extended to the Adamuz accident, where disorganization and absurd orders came into view. Technical and administrative professionals work grudgingly, and the result is a state that does not function. The comparison with the Ceuta crisis management is inevitable: the same improvisation, the same lack of responsibility.

Forecasting a debt crisis for 2027

The economic data hovering over the debate is the forecast of a debt crisis and turbo impoverishment by 2027. The Government, with 110 deputies and an electoral base of pensioners and feminists, seems to believe that the blame will fall on the right.
The strategy is clear: if the economy collapses, there will be an external culprit prepared.

It is not the first time that the Executive has resorted to this manual. During the pandemic, it was the ultra-bullies' fault; regarding amnesties, it was good democratic taste; concerning Dana, it was the PP's fault; regarding the blackout, it was climate change and nuclear power; concerning corruption schemes, it was the Nancy judges. The list is long, and the next chapter is already written: the debt crisis will be the fault of the bad right.

With these reservations, the irony is that the only one who seems to have no plan is the one who has to govern. Meanwhile, the opposition sharpens its questions and the official narrative cracks. The question remains in the air: what does Sánchez owe to Segarro? And the answer, for now, is a culpable silence.
