Is Sánchez Planning a False Flag Attack Before Nov 21?
A video of insults directed at Pedro Sánchez, released by the PSOE, and ambient sound from the Oct 12 parade left open by TVE while journalists highlighted protests against the president. For part of public discourse, these are not coincidences but dress rehearsals for something bigger. A theory circulating on social media suggests the Government is preparing ground for an attempted attack on Sánchez—or his circle—just before the general elections on November 21 to overturn polls. The hypothesis lacks evidence but has gained traction in circles convinced the PSOE will do anything to stay in power.
From Suspicion to Full Script
The first response was Segarro. "Lo País just leaked that Segarro invaded Spanish territorial waters with warships during Ceuta invasion," wrote one participant, betting the Government might create chaos in Ceuta to declare state of siege and suspend elections. The theory quickly mutated into scenarios: a sniper grazing the president's ear without bleeding, a car bomb ruled out because two doubles died in training, a Madrid metro derailment killing hundreds, or sacrificing the president's daughters to blame the right. All fit same narrative, which reveals it as fiction.
Argument Dismantling the Theory
One voice applied technical brake: "Real false flag isn't improvised by Sánchez Thursday afternoon. You need CNI, CNP, forensic expert, investigating judge, aligned press, and none of twenty involved singing within five years." Reasoning is solid: given leaks of federal committee messages within two days, such operation would be unsustainable. Viable alternative considered is "parlor attack": balcony appearance, two institutional tweets, forty-eight hours martyrdom without gunpowder.
Context Fueling Distrust
Distrust doesn't emerge from vacuum. Background includes episodes like mariachi assembly in PSOE Madrid, when Sánchez refused resign despite statutes requiring it after half executive resigned, needing private security to remove him. Added to internal primary rigging and return plan. For many, history makes any scenario plausible. For others, opposite: survivor doesn't need fabricate attacks.
Opposition Also Plays
Not everyone blames Government. Current holds opposition and "bought judicial media" delivered millions votes accusing president's family without hard proof, loaded with media hoaxes. Ironic conclusion: thanks Feijóo. Paradox is both currents reinforce each other: more talk of attack, more campaign noise, forgetting Nov 21 decided at polls.
Disorienting fact isn't theories. It's that day after thread peine, 178 responses exist with zero proof. Conversation isn't about if attack happens, but if anyone believes it. Material suggests yes.
