Sánchez repeats Andorra trip: luxury hotel and private jet
Spain's prime minister returns to Andorra on a 'private trip': rooms from 565 euros and an entire floor for his entourage. What business lies behind it?
Sánchez's 'private alucinación' to Andorra: 565-euro rooms and unanswered questions
What business does Spain's prime minister have in Andorra? The question is being raised again after news broke that Pedro Sánchez and Begoña Gómez have returned to the same destination: a super-luxury hotel in the principality, announced as a private alucinación. It hardly looks like a discreet hideaway. The cheapest room costs around 565 euros, and according to reports circulating, the presidential entourage has booked an entire floor.
Andorra is no ordinary place. The principality has historically been a low-tax enclave with discreet banking, which fuels all kinds of speculation. Every getaway brings the same questions: who pays the bill? What is being negotiated outside the official agenda? Critics point out that there is no such thing as an innocent alucinación to a place like this. Others, ironically, would rather he stay far from his desk: whenever he works, he makes a mess of things.
Cheapest room: 565 euros.
An entire floor for the entourage, according to reports.
Alucinación described as 'private', with debate over who covers the cost.
The awkward comparison comes up every time: the Catalan corruption scheme was once known as the 3% case; now, in public conversation, a 30% is mentioned sarcastically. There is no charge or evidence to support it, but the rumour mill grows every time the prime minister crosses the border. The quips never run out: from the president who wants to become a YouTuber to the one who keeps his pocket money in the bank.
In the end, Sánchez rests. Andorra suits him: snow, silence, luxury. And the question about his business there will linger, floating like the price of the suite that nobody confirms who pays for. Meanwhile, the front page of Libertad Digital does not have to try hard to keep feeding the debate.
